    New Family Members

    The Thanksgiving holiday saw two new additions to the family. My old Radial Arm Saw came back home after being gone for about 24 years! It is reassembled, adjusted and back in use! It still cuts just as good as it did when I first bought it.

    New family member #2 is another helicopter! This one is a "gently used" Vigor CS. Initially, I was going to trade my Freya for it, but decided I didn't really want to get rid of it! So, John (the fellow that helped me learn to fly) is going to sell it to me complete with engine and on-board electronics. Next year, this one will be turned into a Sea King complete with 5 blade rotor head and 5 blade tail rotor. Color scheme will probably be that of Marine One, the President's helo.

    Did your old friend (saw) recognize you after 24 years?

    It sounds like you're hitting pay dirt after getting your helicopter! Have you considered a lottery ticket?

        I think the saw did recognize me, if immediatly gave me a hard time when I tried to put the guard back on after installing a new blade!

        Thanks Bill!
