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.
