That one guy is about to fall over. Good thing the other 3 are there to pick him up.
Thanks all of you for the comments.
The funeral is tomorrow evening, and the interment is Thursday with full military honors.
I know I will not have a dry eye when I watch that much deserved military salute.
Delbert would be so proud.
I had a friend from Greeneville (Delbert’s hometown, two hours from here) call me today and tell me they heard his obituary read on the local radio station, and I was listed as a very special relative/friend.
Grammy, when we fish in Nashville next week we’ll catch a few bass for Delbert. He was a bass fishing fanatic, and may give us a little help from above.

I was kinda hoping the Hawker would throw folks off.
Here's a almost identical head on shot of just a Hurricane

A Corsair for sure, a Spitfire and a P40, maybe 2?
Darn!! Can’t believe I took the Hawker for a Spit!!!
Amateur.
I almost called it a Mustang.

Oldest daughter wanted a trailer for her bike. She has a wagon I made for her some years back out of wrecked one a friend gave me. So yesterday we bring the wagon and the bike over to our house, because thats where all the cool tools are, according to the kid:-)
So anyways after staring at the bike and trailer in the workshop and looking at some bike trailers on a website called "Instructables" I had an idea. I had a piece of 1/2" copper pipe laying handy so I used it for proof of concept. After that and rummaging around for some odd parts here and there we had a plan. One trip to the hardware store and voila we had a solution.
Close up of the conduit and U-bolt trailer hitch.
The daughter tried to ride it home last night but we did not think to use a double nut and lock washer on the trailer/ hitch connection and after about a mile the trailer came off. This morning we went back to the hardware store and picked up a couple of castle nuts and hitch pin clips so that the nuts can't back off. She made it home in about an hour instead of the usuall 30 minutes. She said that she stopped about every mile or so to check all the connections but had no problems.
The only thing wrong with the whole set up is the wheels. We will have to look for some better wheels as the wheel on the trailer are only made to run around in the yard, not pulled along for miles behind a bike:-) Maybe we can find some better wheels at Harbor Fright.
Tell Spiderboy to get busy I'm gaining on him, he he he

Ruh roh. Msdrby, the kids and gramma are about to leave for a two week tour of The South.
We're gonna get more behinder.
I did get the profile for the sides drawn today. I also got it plotted full size. A 500ft spool of paper works wonders...
In addition to Teardrop stuff, I repaired the flagpole halyard here at Castle Sp'aarrgghh'ksalot.
Shiver me timbers lad, the Jolly Roger was just the thing to brighten me day now :-)
Tis a good thing the Mrs is gone, eh?
Hope they have a good and safe trip in the wilds of the South

Flag have a way of doing that, don’t they.
;-)
Full size plot, whoa. Don’t let the tree huggers know.
It's a good thing we're not building an EM-50 then.
