This is harder than I thought. It has been a week. It is now 0245hrs. Same time I used to get up for work. Dammit. Got up yesterday at the same time after looking at the ceiling in the dark for half an hour. Got up, put a chunk of 5.5" tubing on the scale. Put a long cone on it. Did the mass thing again. Cut off base of cone leaving a shoulder. Scaled it and wrote it down. Sketched out a planform. Decided cranked arrow Delta swept fins beat out stubby Nike style. Can't find a stick of 54mm motor tube. I know I'll hate it later if I go with the 38mm I've got. Laid out a plank with 3 thru the wall tabs. Went back to bed. We were supposed to fly at Lucerne Saturday, so yesterday I broke out the popup to simulate an early morning camp set. I was going to set up a table and cut the fins out of basswood. I promise pics, but no build thread. I Kept getting texts from friends about the fires North of L. A. and by evening it was decided the fires were not a good thing to brave and as we dropped out one by one, the launch got cancelled. Tore down the popup and stuck it in Mobile Hangar #6 (Ford Freestar van). Decided to keep the hotel reservations I normally get for the Viking Princess and here we are. Watched Despicable Me 4, while having a great dinner in the room. Took a nap and now here I am. Had a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal with banana slices. I travel well prepared. I have a coffee suitcase and a kitchen suitcase so I am independent of any restaurant or coffee shop hours. So, here I am. Wide eyed and bushy-tailed, breaking my promise not to post boredom messages. I guess my book list will climb by at least 3 by Sunday. Forgot to bring my whiskey. Watching one of the endless numbers of Fast and Furious, getting ready to soak in the tub and knock out a book. I have 5 to last me until Monday. Believe it or not, never read Wolfe's "The Right Stuff". It is for me now! Happy Friday to those who still use calendars. I'll get the hang of this pretty soon.
