When Papa's happy
I used to have a refrigerator magnet that said "when mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." Around our household that's usually papa we like to keep happy and he has been lately since he started this airplane out in the garage (that was built for this exact purpose about 7 years ago). He had it in mind to build a kit plane upon retirement and then gave up the dream for various reasons. Made the decision to go ahead and has been working on this RV12 for the past few weeks. This process that is now taking place is putting the "skin" on. The skin is shiny sheet metal and I had to use gloves to touch it. It's a rather exciting process to watch this go together. I am envious of this long wall of cabinets and papa gets a little testy if I try to sneak things in to them.

Wow. That's just amazing. Can't wait to see it in the skin. Been a long time since last we visited. Might be a long time more, but we're planning on Thanksgiving.
