The doldrums.

Ever since the hurricane at the Lee, MA contest the winds have been very light and almost non existant. A real pain when you need some wind to hold the plane out on the lines and blow the turbulance away.
I moved all the branches to the other side of the garage and then figured I could run the small stuff through the shredder. I cut all the finger size branches off the big stuff and the shredder did the rest.
Some time in the fall I will burn the pile and the remaining branches.
 I called Brodak and ordered a wing kit for the plane I have drawn up. It's based on the plane that crashed and will use it's stab/elev. Full fuselage and inverted engine with an r/c motor mount.

Another present.

We got home from New London at 1230. I looked out a little while later and saw branches sticking out from the end of the garage to the bird house. We didn't notice them when we drove into the yard. I went to investigate and found a large limb had broken off of a Maple tree. More work. I got the chain saw out and started to cut branches. The chain was old and not that sharp and wouldn't cut into the thick part of the branch which is over a foot. I made a few phone calls and found a place on rte. 6 that could make up a chain. With that installed the saw came alive and made short work of the limb. Now to find someone that wants the wood and get a chipper for the branches.  In the second picture of mostly leaves you can see the broken limb on the tree. Above that limb is a broken limb that fell several years ago. There's my beer can in the last photo.

Nuff said. This one's out for revenge after the rocket attack last week.
