"Don't be so humble - you are not that great."
- Golda Meir (1898-1978) to a visiting diplomat

Forgive me 'Big Eye in the Sky' for I have sinned...it has been 5 days since my last blog.
I got busy on the weekend. I worked both days of the air-show. The museum had a cf 100 "Canuck" (no not a jolly one!) on display and we also sold tee-shirts and pins and hats from the museum. I suggested it so I got the privelege of toting the darn stock back and forth both days and staying out there to make sure everything went smootly. Well I could have come home for a couple of hours on Saturday but i just loved talking to the people that came around to see the old bird (the canuck!). We brought out some engines too. We had a 'double wasp' (Pratt & whitney 4000 hp!!), that is the engines that they use in the Canadair water bomber. We also had the Orenda jet engine that was used in the Canuck. Anyhow, all in all it was a very full two days and I was Poooooooped, it was all I could do to crawl into my lazyboy and be a lazy boy until bed-time. Then Monday I had to take in the booty from the sale at the air show. We made $2,500.00 ...not bad eh? We don't make that much in the gift shop at the museum in a month! I also had a meeting at the museum and I had to run some errands....so all in all I was a busy boy. Oh yeah, I also had to take the frikkin' Ford in to see about the lights coming on by themselves. That kind of stuff scares me..its like the damn car is possessed. Maybe it should be re-possessed!
Not sure but I think the car is fixed now. They did a re-alignment 'cause it was drifting to the right, checked the lights and fixed them, tightened some bolts...charged me nothing. Its nice to have a good garage to count on.
Well, thanks Gary for calling Mom on June 3rd, I talked to her too and she appreiates it! Better go for now ...keep blogging!!!
