the university provide here\u2026 actually there are a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of things that do not include the sports programs, even though we do those too, cause they are here\u2026 and we can. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond all that the construction around town and campus is still pretty much in full swing and you never know which streets will be blocked with some sort of work

students will be making more use of that than I\u2026<\/p>\n<p>This week I did finish up the tri-wing airplane for GS#1\u2026 it has taken me way too long to get it done but I have included several new options and I had to find just the right parts for some of it\u2026 Since I thought I was short a can for the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>front<\/strong> cowling I came up with two options for that\u2026 <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> with similar gold and strips and the other black with some gold\u2026 since the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plane<\/strong> is gold\u2026 not sure which is better so GS#1 will decide or maybe keep the parts for a change out if he gets tired of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> front?&#160; who knows\u2026 (Note: the cans were from when I worked in Algeria and I would cut some and bring them <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>home<\/strong> every month and save them back for these special projects\u2026 we got some gold cans in over there and I found enough for this plane\u2026 yesterday I found I have just enough for <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> more <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plane<\/strong> so maybe GS#3 will get <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> of those?)&#160; <\/p>\n<p><a

control stick, pilot seat and a control panel with gauges\u2026 kind of hard to see but they are down in there\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Probably a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of lost detail that will never be seen once we hang it from his ceiling\u2026 it is not a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plane<\/strong> to be played with, just to be looked at and hang out of little kids reach\u2026 ha!<\/p>\n<p>Along with the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>plane<\/strong> work and radio stuff and other small projects I have had to re-establish my inventory of coins\u2026 I started a coin collection when I was in grade school\u2026 it has grown and I have jumped in with spurts of activity and then long periods of nothing but I figured I better get a better inventory of the whole thing\u2026 it don\u2019t have a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of value but I do have a <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of coins\u2026 mostly pennies as a kid with no money can only collect small coins\u2026 ha!&#160; But is amazing now what some of those pennies are worth to a real collector\u2026 I put in maybe a couple of hours a day and have been doing the inventory for over a week\u2026 <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>lot<\/strong> of pennies\u2026 but I get side tracked at times too, looking for info on some of the odd pieces\u2026 oh well\u2026 just another hobby that can sure keep you busy\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>Yesterday Sherrie called after work and the battery was dead in the car\u2026 hum!\u2026 I got back in to give it a jump-start and she said the battery was about 3.5 years old\u2026 and it was an 84 month warranty battery?&#160; So today I took it to the parts store where I got the battery and they tested and said \u2026 it appeared my alternator was not working, \u201cbad diodes\u201d\u2026 hum! so I took it to the Toyota <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>place<\/strong> and had&#160; them <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>test<\/strong> it\u2026 they gave me a report that said the alternator was putting out 13.6 volts but when tested off the battery only had about 110 CCA\u2026 and it should have had about 750.&#160;&#160; the really good thing\u2026 the Toyota shop didn\u2019t charge me for the test\u2026 but they do all the service work or have for several years so they probably figure they can <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> it up on the next one\u2026 I then went back to the battery <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>place<\/strong> and showed them the report and got a battery ( although past the 3 year limit) it was half price exchange\u2026 This exercise took all morning\u2026 sure glad I didn\u2019t have much planned \u2026 oh year, retired\u2026 Got it washed and then delivered back so Sherrie has a ride home\u2026<\/p>\n<p>When&#160; I got <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>home<\/strong> from lunch and all the running around I got busy working on some Green Chili\u2026 I had gotten the meat out yesterday and it needed to be cooked up\u2026 so my big afternoon was getting the Green Chili on to simmer for a few hours then tonight I will split it into double serving size bags and freeze it\u2026probably won\u2019t need to <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>make<\/strong> that again for a few months as this time it was bigger than I had planned\u2026 but oh well\u2026 <\/p>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ishmaels.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/SAM_3100.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"
