We had a "Real Life" weekend. Our kids, in Marion, had their water heater make a "loud bang" sound and stopped heating water. Advised turning off exploding water heater. 16 August 2025 Loaded tools, fired up Boattail 712, and off we went. Hot water is kind of a big deal, when 6 people live...

Yes I noticed that. Mr. Fox is the classiest of Spitfire drivers!

14 August Plastic Surgeon meeting post; After another 10 days of monsoon season during the wettest August I can recall, I finally got a sunny day to attend to harvesting the yard. The deck belt tensioner on our 11-year-old "yard harvester" let go yesterday, mid-chore. Dissasembly ensued and I...

Winders in the garage doors and an overhang for the front of the roof. There was a small gap I wanted to cover. :lol: Thanks again for looking in!

Welcome back! That makes 2 of us that reached our Tradesman's "Expiration Date". The age at wish you decide to work to destruction, or choose to have an less strenuous Life. Are you working for your school district too, Chip?

Stern rail, cannon barrel, guns and radars. I made the stern taffrail out of .015 copper wire. Bending the front stanchions and railing in one piece and filling in the other 4 stanchions makes this part of the FRC easier to make. It doesn't matter what you make the vertical bits out of. I...

A classy looking car for a classy Royal lady!

I have posted this thread on X. I'm hoping our membership may increase along with guest visits.

Aren't you quite the corker today! In fact, hoping they have forgotten my misbehavior concerning the Me-262, we may go to Wright-Patterson and visit the Valkyrie in a few years.

Visiting Signature Flight Support at the Des Moines airport last Sunday, during a rare break in our recent soggy prairie weather, found us at the gateway to the Confederate Air Force's parking area on the Signature apron. Adult admission is $20.00 each, which seemed a bit steep, but how often...

In truth, the mast platforms should be more horizontal and project further forward. Revised kit decals. They fit the cutter well but the Lagoon script needed reducing. Cutter and WPSS names are all bold and in cap's. It is vital to closely trim the US Coast Guard script closely for the...
