Unsettled weather

 Last evening the almost full moon.
I took this photo through our living room window while sitting on the couch!

 This morning while riding my bike!

Evidence of a passing hail downpour!
And then the sun came out.  For a moment.
Spring is here!!

Meanwhile,
I just got a photo from my son Jeff.  He had a sunny day in Tacoma this morning so rolled his homebuilt airplane out of the hangar for a photo op!

This is the one he and I painted last summer and this is the first photo of it all together.  He plans to start the engine for the first time in the next two weeks; still some small items to be finished and a final inspection to be passed.
Wow it sure is a beauty!

  4. Wow Ron,

    You son's airplane is very cool. Is it an RV 7 or RV 8, I can't quite tell them apart yet?

    How about an RC version? If you produce one, I would like the plans and I will do an electric version.

    I will watch for a blog about it.
