Doug Eves sent this photo of the Ol' girl in flight. Taken from the ground, this is a great shot. You can see he is "relaxing" in his office in the sky...

It's been a while......

I have not posted in almost 6 months!
Life has taken me is too many other directions. I have had a promotion at work which occupies my time about 50-60 hrs a week.
I took on my Dad's 180hp Pacer for the summer and flew it around while completing all the final detail work on it that he didn't finish during the restoration.
I have been working around the homestead as well, pouring concrete, building a perimeter fence and making repairs as needed.
The airplane project is getting fired up again now the weather has started to turn. Fall is here and the rain is starting to come. When the grass quits growing, it will be nice.

The next week or so I have to pick the pieces where I left off. I need to order a rivet squeezer yoke for the pneumatic squeezer. I am going to start on the rear baggage compartment bulkhead and work my way back before I close up the rear turtledeck. This will include installing the tail and push/pull tube. I learned on the last one that crawling in and out millions of times is not worth it. Plus its easier to assemble parts standing up then laying on your back........
