Back Home and Back In The Hangar

After arriving home Sunday evening after a month away on deputation, I thought I'd just post some quick hangar snapshots to bring you up-to-speed on our six current aircraft projects. Now that the weather's getting nicer and we'll be home for a couple months, it's time to get back on the blog track!

Making my own wooden lures (and catching fish with the lures I've made) makes it all more fun. All it takes are some hooks & hardware, a piece of wood, some sandpaper, paint, a little bit of time, and ta-da...a fishing lure!

And even better, I can go fishing with Karen and the dogs! Here are some snapshots of Karen, the dogs and fishing with my homemade lures...
