Well Guys - Here Goes. I just came in from an early shift in the shop and Shirley asked me to sit down with her to have a talk. She said the Bible said the truth will set you free. So she said, "You are not going to be able to finish the Avenger for the 2018 AMA Nats. I need you to slow down, get more rest, eat better, and bring control back into your life". She said, the Avenger is looking so great, don't rush the building of it now, and lose what has become great over the years. With that said, we both shed a few tears.
The Avenger will fly this summer for sure, but there will have to be another scale contest this summer to initiate the competitive spirit of the Avenger. With that, I am heading back to the shop with a different attitude thanks to my wife. Muncie Hampton Inn reservations cancelled.
