Porsche is probably trying to get their motors out of the air for liability reasons.

The coolest plane I have riden in was a Confederate Air Force P-51 Mustang. They were charging $200 for a short ride in the jump seat. After petrol the dollar left over went to help pay to restore/maintain the planes. It was at the Byron's Radio Controlled Model Airplane Convention/Air Show in Ames Iowa. I also met the first atomic attack force and got a signed picture of the Enola Gay. The show was held at the Byron's Estate. A huge castle looking home with a 1:5th scale airport for R/C in the back yard and a full size airport down the hill in the front yard.

Was in the stands when this happened...

It was the 1:5 scale model's inaugural flight. That's whey the real Enola Gay crew was there. As part of the show they blew up 53 barrels of deisel 1/2 mile away. It not only made a huge mushroom cloud, but you could feel the heat and wind from the blast.

They also did a 1/5 scale renactment battle with planes, tanks, pt boats, and aircraft carriers on and around a large pond next to the 1/5 scale airport. farther in the background was the confederate air force doing their tora tora tora thing. It ended with some guys on a hill in the background doing the iwo jima flag raising. it was all very impressive even without the Enola Gay flight and mock explosion after the reenactment show.

Group of us chartered a bus to make the trip from OKC. As we left that evening we saw the crane picking the Enola Gay model out of the tree it had crashed into.

Byron's was a company that made a lot of 1:5th scale r/c plane model kits.

Of our own building? Only when it shows in a customer job. We don't need a picture of a ugly steel building.

We have millions of pictures in the building. Mostly negatives.

Evening Y'all
Just a drive by howdy

drive by survivors support group......

Evening folks. Where is everyone?

Recovering from jet lag

Finally, some decent weather for today and tommorow, we'll see if that is enough drying time for the local hay farmers to get their second cutting hay cut, raked, turned and baled before the next storms are expected on Saturday.

Luckily, we got our year's supply of hay from the first cutting, we've learned over the years that there isn't always a second cutting, and sometimes it is far more expensive because of either wet or dry conditions.

The eastern half of the country has sure been wet this year. It looks like we'll get more of it today, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday. It would be great if we could share some of this with the west coast.

Hereyar guys, I found ya a crash course :D

Good hump day morning.

Another hot day in the big city today. It is real nice out there right now but the heat index will be over 100 today. The last few weeks of July and the first few of August are the hottest weeks of the year on average. We are 3 degrees below average for the month so not too bad so far.

I guess it is Windows update day. Time to update all the computers around here.

morning all. below 60 here today for starters. not a bad drive to work.

Here is our forecast.

wet wet & more wet.

As they say...Make hay while the sun shines.

now a bb gun would be fun in that room.

Especially if it really was Bubble Gum!

I can't imagine the smell if it were bubble gum and they all popped.

all in rows.....one good shot would get an entire row and start a cascade of pissed off women.

Assuming they aren't already. It would be funny either way.
