    defiantly not gonna miss the ground!
    Our shop is on lake Champlain so they launch and go over the lake or where the wind takes them. I don’t like to hit the ground and I sink better than I swim so no thanks either but it’s cool to watch them launch!

    I've always wanted to ride in a helicopter. Never had the chance though.

    When we were first dating my wife took me up in a biplane, we did a bunch acrobatic maneuvers, barrel rolls, flips, etc. Was one of the coolest things I've ever done.

    My oldest just got a letter in the mail that, assuming he doesn't do anything dumb, he's been accepted to NDSU! :D

    And maybe this chemistry thing is a good fit for him. A few days ago filling up the Pilot he asked me what the chemical composition of octane was, said I didn't know then he explained it to me. :laugh:

    I stayed busy pretty much all day. Sometimes I feel like back to my regular day job is a break. Finally got that darn fuel tank installed, and what a battle. Hind sight 20/20 I would have massaged that son of a gun with a hammer right where the straps ride. The factory tank had more of a 90° bend on the front side. But once shoved up in there, another pain taking it back out.
    That's done, leaf spring mounted and the other suspension parts(brain fade what their called).....anyway went to install the axle half shafts and had ordered wrong bolts:frusty:
    So end of that, and on to other house chores.

    C8H18, which is what he said it was.

    Seems pretty straightforward but I still don't get it! :laugh:
