Brian,

Just to let you know that I saw that - and I'll be keeping my eye on you.

Looking good, BSARGE! That is a sight better than my humble and unworthy building skills can produce. Nice workbench.

Hey, will there be signs posted on Bethel South Fork and Major Hill rd? I don't want to get lost in east nowhere NC after driving 4 1/2 hours. I'm good with the directions from I85 up to that point, but the last few turns can be tough if you don't know the area. Or is there a better way to get there from I85 that mapquest doesn't show?

Beautiful Rivets! It looks dwarfed by that engine. No one told you that there's a minimum 40" span and minimum 24oz limit on the reedy racers? You'd better scale it up and rebuild fast.[X(]

You know I'm joking.

Dear Vic,

I guess I should have told you that I've negotiated a deal with the Feds and I've been let out on bail - so the only cell number I have now is the phone-y one. But remember that the only time I turn that darn thing on is when I'm in the car (hoping, of course, for your call )

{Hey youse guys, does anyone else have only little squares with a red X in in where the RCU ads used to be?)

Rog my friend. I ask you to remember all the good times we've shared. But I'm afraid I have bad, really bad, news for you regarding the unfortunate date of your next get-together. This is SO BIG that it will likely have a major impact on the SMALL thang too. Ok, gird your loins (BTW could somebody other than Vic or Patrick tell me what that means?) - here it is.

Quote from the OFFICIAL website. . .
The Ava Gardner Museum announced that Ava Gardner Fest 2006 will be held on Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, 2006. Ava Gardner Fest is a celebration of the life of legendary film actress Ava Gardner and a showcase for creative arts from her beloved birthplace. The festival, which features free films, live jazz, art and fine crafts, is conveniently located in historic Downtown Smithfield along the I-95 and I-40 corridor in eastern North Carolina.
. . . end quote

Did youse-all catch the part about the "free films". Woo hoo. Sorry Rog but this is just too big to keep to myself.

You're perv button doesn't work? [X(] Pappy, how old are you? I have to attend a wedding for a 37 yr old virgin at 5:30 that night I am sure you can postpone a few silent films to hang out with the only sympathy group you have in the southeast for a few hours! Quit the dang whining an finish painting the shop and build the Shet face (I spelled it right!) be there!

Ok make a note ..I-85 exit 147 take 87 south 8.6 miles to the Paradise Club (black and purple cant miss it) right on Lindley Mill rd 3.6 miles to flashing red light ,straight 5.4 miles to Major Hill rd. go right .8 miles entrance is in corn field ,nice open flying field,this is a straighter version than what is posted on the site...mileage may vary depending on whether you ride with Tim Wiltse or not....I saw Bill's Rivets today,,pretty good job, we pretty much got rained out from flying but I did manage to get the maiden in on my .25 trainer,man if you guys had seen the takeoff[X(]..you'da said" man that plane aint comin back in one piece"..but then it tamed right down and I got a good few minutes in, just about had it hands off and it leaned out on me...but she deadsticked in like a dream....my rivets flight didnt go quite as well, no crash but that thing only flys when its screamin and I couldnt get the golden bee to keep a steady needle,..I better switch to the Galbreath setup, if I'm gonna run with you big dogs....Rog

Rog,

Go ahead laugh all you want...I still say the directions you gave in past years were off by at least 1/10th of a mile

Crap I forgot the fall get together was at this field. This field hates me, well at least it seems to hate ch.36.

Tim

Rog,

It's funny I was all gong ho over diesel Cox's when I had that crappy DDD head and home brew fuel and once I got some real fuel and a RJL head thanks to Bailey I think I only ran it once[:'(] Maybe I should back out the stuff and bring it along to play with. Was running a diesel reedie legal for the race?

LAter,
Tim

Wow! Rog gets two decent flights in one month and gets all cocky.

DF don't worry about being seduced on your way to the feild. The Madam has all of her teeth but I think she has them on a necklace or something.[sm=52_52.gif]

Rog,

Hey I got a couple of flights in with that diesel Black Widow on my old design contest plane that one time! I thought also that after the last race it was bring your own fuel( up to 35% nitro) and fly what ever prop you want as long as the reedie is "stock".

Later,
Tim
