Where Are We Today
Since my last post, many of you know what the goings
on here at the Ridge are, as you follow Patsy’s blog daily. As informative as
Patsy’s posts are, she does leave some details of my doing, for me to post.

I have continued to work on my model, the wing has
been skinned now and work started on the fuselage. I have not said what kind of
plane it is that I am building, but a couple of followers have. For any
airplane enthusiast, one look at the gull wing and you would know that it is a
WWII fighter, the F4U Corsair.

The latest news from me is that I have started a part
time job with a friend and local contractor doing what ever I can to help out
at the job site, so far it has been clean-up, dismantling and cutting and
handling materials. I have found some un-used muscles, but I’m enjoying what I
do and learning some things at the same time.
This week we
will get a date to get the trailer in for the repairs to the cap, where it
cracked after hitting the box sides of the truck. It will be in the shop for
three to four days, so Rob and Pat have offered to bring their trailer here to
the Ridge for us to stay in while ours is being fixed.
The grass is
growing and the cutting and trimming has begun. The buds are turning into
leaves and the trees are filling out, there are many birds and chipmunks
entertaining us daily, life is good here at “the Ridge”.
Thanks for dropping by, always great to hear your
comments. Until the next time, be safe and take care.
Can't wait for the maiden flight !
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteYour new model airplane looks to me a fine and meticulous job and I am sure it will be a beauty when finished. Glad for you guys to see the repairs of the truck and rig coming to an end and soon all will be forgotten. I bet the construction companies are in full swing right now and can use all the help they can get. Good that you are able and willing to lend a hand. Extra money is always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marlene, it can be a meticulous job for sure. Yes we are happy that the repairs are coming to an end. The construction job is interesting and I am learning some new things. the extra cash is definitely nice.
DeleteGlad to see everything is starting to come together for you.
ReplyDeleteStay Safe on the job and Enjoy your RC Plane.
It's about time.
Thanks guys, yes things are coming together.
DeleteCongrats on the new computer! You are so much like Ken in the area of keeping busy only now you're getting paid to do it! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks guys, I do love my new computer, and keeping busy and getting paid for it is sure a bonus.
DeleteHaving a little extra change in the pocket is nice! Congrats on the laptop. Dean needs a new one but he'll fight it to the end....he still has a year or two to go before it reaches the age of your old one. We will look forward to the completion of the plane and it's first flight.
ReplyDeleteYes the extra pocket money is nice. My laptop was about to die, so I needed to do something, i am so enjoying my new one.
DeleteLove that header photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stew, it was taken just outside our campground in California. It is in the desert, just about 10 miles from Yuma. Because it is closer to Yuma than any where in California, we shop in Yuma and the campground runs on Arizona time instead of California time.
