October 18th and ITS SNOWING. I finally get a weekend at home (to which my wife thinks is a conspiracy because the radio control airplane auction is this weekend at the events center 2 blocks from my house and bills itself as the second largest in the nation) and it snows. I had forgot this weekends auction till a friend of mine from Montana found out I'm home and he's driving 22 hours down here with his wife so we can attend said auction. I thought I would cram 3 days of honey-do's into a Friday to impress the missus so I could swing by the auction "real quick" tomorrow to check out what they're selling. I think the snow is a conspiracy between her and mother nature against me!!

 

Vibrating hammer head I hauled today to Ft. Wayne. Was supposed to be 11'4" wide but of course the rain yesterday made it go to a big over 12'. Luckily there is only 1 scale in IL that I had to cross and it was closed, and I have a annual for IN.

 

It swelled in the rain?

 

Yeah, who'd of thought it was poss with solid steel pieces huh?? LOL

 

That thing's ugly SHC, oh well looks like an easy enough load.

 

Well it's part of a load, of course this is a personal shipment so it doesn't pay anything but my son will be happy when I get it to him. (It's a bar stool with a Suzuki GS 450 motor. )

 

That looks like it could be fun, but also a killer if one is not carefull.
What did you buy at the airplane auction, or did your wife hide the cash and credit cards from you?

 

It'll run 70 in 3rd gear, haven't had the nerve to try any faster. And yes it'll bite you real quick.

As for the auction, I bought another giant scale Yak 54 (111 cc 2 cylinder, 2 cycle engine), a 1/4 scale P-51 Dago Red unlimited race plane, a 3 meter glider, a Starfire 40 aerobatic sport plane, a set of FPV goggles, a retract system air pump and a bunch of small stuff (props, servos, batteries etc). And all it cost me was a $329 dinner at Chesters Chop House and Wine Bar (she has no clue what I spent at the auction and doesn't care).

 

CatalinaFlyer do you park your truck in front of your house during hometime?
Man, it's great to have good neigbors, isn't it?

 

Sure do, don't have to worry about neighbors since they are a park, a church and a hardware store. The one person in the neighborhood that complained all the time said she couldn't see around my truck to turn. As it turned out she didn't have a license anyway. The parking cop tried to evict me but my side of the street is considered commercial and there's no law against me parking there.
