Well I will take this in sequence


Wings are back on the parallelogram jigs. Started bending the 4 40 rods to their correct angles Inboard rear (bottom and top wing) rods are now correct, and the N part of front top wing rod is also correct. Was not to hard. I used several 1/4" sticks of balsa (different lengths) to check the angles, just laid them flush on the rod. When the angels had the stick in alignment with it's opposite rod on the other wing, I called that good. I had to remove the rod pieces to bend them, and then remount check and repeat till they aligned.


Then we (wife and I) headed off to the grocery store.

Then we (wife and I) headed off to the grocery store.


NEVER MADE IT. WE WERE REAR ENDED AT A LIGHT.


Just got home from E.R. We were back boarded out of the car. Poor Penelope, yes we named our little PT Cruiser.


WE ARE OK PRAISE GOD. We were immediately in a lot of pain with our bad backs. X Rays and pain meds.


I was stopping at a light on the way to the store that had just turned. And then WHAM AND WHAM AGAIN. Full size pick up rear ended us. The police was there within seconds as he he was across the street hiding watching for violators. He was there before the red light cycled to green. I was checking my wife as it was obvious she was in a lot of pain, she usually endures pain in silence. Not this time. When the officer opened my door and I started to move, Well I changed my mind and sat still.


My seat back collapsed in the first impact and the second knocked my glasses off. One of the paramedics found them all the way in the very back of the car by the rear hatch. Obviously the second impact knocked them off after my seat back collapsed.


No airbag deployment, a bit of a surprise there.


They took my wife out first then me on back boards and then transported us to the hospital.


There were we checked out and X Rays done. Pain meds and muscle relaxants given. The finally released.


We are OK, just hurt and will hurt for a day or so.


Got to make appointment with our primary care doctor and I have to notify my pain management doctor.


Already called my insurance company. Notified my work while I was still on the back board (dang man those thing are heck on the back).


Our dear friends from church got to the accident scene as the paramedics were getting me out (maybe live 1 or 2 miles from the scene) then they followed us to E.R. Took us to Denny's on the way home and bought us dinner. They have been so good and loving to us since we moved to Texas.


So now we are home in our recliners relaxing.
