I finished my move. All I have to do is turn in the keys. We have to organize things where we are but we can take our time, as long as we get that done before I am out of service in two weeks (slice and dice). I want to organize a build station a bit so I can get back to work on my birds. I do not like idle hands.


I had to re organize the storage unit a bit, to get the last in it. I was rather proud of my airplane storing solution. Got some things stacked in the vertical and then the kitchen chairs on top, upside down. I use the inverted legs to hold wings on their L.E.s . Saw horse on top of the table for some fuses that have their engines in the nose. I Don't know if it is true or not but I have read that storing a plane vertical on it engine is a bad thing, so I don't. Some got stored by a rope looped over the chair legs.


I made it work. But I think I about made myself not work.


I hate moving. When we get back on our feet, got to do it again.


I really am hoping I can do some building by next week or even better a little later this week. I need to build, even if just a little.


I have been trying to learn Draftsight. I want to design my next designs with it.
Were we are now staying, they have a High School aged son. He want's me to teach some about model planes. I showed a crude pencil (all of my designs are crude pencil) design I had. He down loaded AtuoDesk for students. In two days he had drawn a plane in 3D. Jeez. "OK kid you are gona teach me" is what I said to him. Jeez I have been getting my rear end kicked trying to learn CAD. I think he just handed it to me. JEEZ.
