Brycen and I went to the Air Show a few weeks ago!!!!!!!

I could go to these every week.

It was a blast.

Zac was not up to coming this year. He did not do too well last year and said he would not like it because it would be too loud.


Here are some photos from the highlights.

Now to look at the Planes off the ground:

Sorry but the quality on my camera is not very good.

This is what a Group of Engineers do on the weekend.

It took us all day to raft 20 miles down the south fork of the American River.

I work with almost everyone in the raft. It's funny how you see a totally different side of people when you are in a raft flying down the rapids. I was one of the few who was not thrown from the raft. There was a time or two that I jumped out. And one time when our raft was stuck on a rock and we all had to get out and swim.

These were class 2 rapids. We got very wet, but it was so incredibly hot that we welcomed every wave. I can't wait to do this again next summer.

WHAT IS MISSING FROM THIS PICTURE?

THIS!!!

I Finally got the engine out,

Last Weekend I took Zac & Brycen to see some Airplanes.

There were small Airplanes. ................................And BIG Airplanes.

There were Old Airplanes..................................And New Airplanes,





There were Helicopters...............................And Aircraft with folding Wings.





Breaker Breaker, Anyone got there ears on?........................Not Me. :(





There were lots of planes...................................And a Simulator too.

Sometimes Daddy Can Actually Be Fun. :)

I took the family to launch rockets recently. Boy did we have fun!

I also finally found some time to work on my new old car.

I was surprised to see that every screw was the old flat head screws.

I guess Phillips screws hadn`t been invented yet.

I also bought a new battery for the car, and when I turned the key it actually tried to start!!! Also in the photo is the VW restoration manual I scored from the library.

If you want to see a car that has been meticulously restored look here: http://www.oldbug.com/hiram.htm

This is my goal but I will realistically never achieve it.
