A bit of a screwy title, but in fact the weather has been as close to miserable as is possible. For an area of 4.5 inches of rain, we have had a lot of rain. Now of course we go directly to 90+ temps.
My main goal this year was to replace the roofing on the hangar and Cat House. The asphalt shingles were most likely laid in 78 or 79 and we had shingle rain after any and all windy days. I had been saving for at least a year or so to be able to replace the roofs.. A wind storm in March had been the final straw. I took the measurement to an outstanding metal roofing company in Ontario, Or. I also turned it in to the insurance Co. Their estimate for 3 tab roofing came to $13,000 +.
My friend Toby from the coast had offered to help me when I was ready. Roger had also offered his help.
Toby and his nephew, Fletcher came over early and even with the rain squalls and wind finished it in about three days.
Roger coming on the agreed time, arrived well after completion of all the projects, Leaving only fun things left to do.
I even knocked some of the dust off of the "Fire Dragon", and rolled her out.

Its been a while since I have posted, and it appears that there have been a few changes. It appears that the link above used to be able to click on it, and it would open the video. Now what I have had to do with the "link " is to highlight it, right click on it, then select the line that says "go to Vimeo!", It should take you to the actual video of our flight.
We had company for at least a week and half, and of course had a great time. Now of course I have no excuse for not doing some playing for a change.
Larry seeing these pictures reminds me of when you and I roofed your house many moons ago. Although it was some slightly hard work we also had fun and it was good to spend time with you. All my best....
