    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Aaaaand.... no work on the KF today. Got side-tracked with a small road trip to get a TV for my garage, then on the way home my wife insisted that we stop and fish awhile! Who's to argue with that? Not me! :eyebrows: So we did! :) After I got home and fussed with the TV awhile, I was...

    Some good stuff happening

    Today I picked up a 22" LCD TV for the garage that I had a line on a couple days ago. The seller didn't reply before but today said he'd been out of town. Fine with me. The little Viore TV works well... except that apparently the IR sensor is broken. I put fresh batteries in the remote but...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Thanks guys! Am looking forward to getting to the point where I can actually paint the thing! ;) After working on getting the garage in better shape during the day today, the boy and I actually did some KF work after dinner tonight! :p The goal was to provide adequate clearance for the 3/4"...

    Some good stuff happening

    Today the boy and I did a "little" cleanup and reorganization in the garage so that we could work on the KF a bit later. Just a little... :lol: Somewhere therein lies a Kingfisher. :rolleyes:

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    And last night I did a little more photo-editing. I'm really liking that modern Split-S logo without the circle. Yeahh... :joyous:

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Been a very busy week for me, but today was the first day of Spring Break for the boy! He has 10 full days off, so I'm hoping that we'll be able to make some serious KF progress during that time. ;) So I dragged him along with me while I went out doing boat and garage errands. He was okay...

    Some good stuff happening

    We are ONLINE in the garage! :whoo: This morning I'd tried the "tip" that the seller had mentioned but still no joy. So I replied back with all the pertinent info. A little while ago I received another email from the seller with a recommended configuration change and BOOM! We're online...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    The only thing I did related to the KF today was to put the trolling motor for sale on craigslist. That 28 lb. thrust MotorGuide just isn't quite enough for this boat. I've known that for awhile but time is getting to the point where I need to get a replacement with more thrust pretty soon...

    And we did take a few minutes to have some dinner out there during the installation. (Yeah, that's my burned up leg in the pic.)

    Some good stuff happening

    Got the WiFi and Cable TV cables run into the building a couple days ago. Had hoped to show a pic of the WiFi router working inside that all steel building, bouncing signals around and whatnot. But not yet. :rolleyes: Gonna be another day or so until that happens. The new router arrived...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    I did receive a drill guide a few days ago. Hoping to get that bad boy put to use in the not-too-distant future.

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Small tasks. Uh huh. Right. :lol: A couple days ago I took a look at the bow braces and realized that I need to just go ahead and make some brand new ones. The existing braces are kinda chewed up from being installed and uninstalled during all my experimenting. My ol' buddy needs a favor...

    Woohoo! I finally got a workbench!

    So yesterday I ended up getting a nicely finished piece of 3/4" plywood from HD for the bench top. It's so nice looking that the store clerk who was making the sizing cuts for me suggested that I put a nice varnish job on it. Heh heh. :p My buddy was over at my place working on another task...

    GOES-S launch

    Yeah, it's pretty cool stuff. This is a shuttle launch as seen from our driveway back in 2012. And we're 150 miles from the launch complex.

    GOES-S launch

    The weather looks good for the big Atlas-5 launch vehicle to lift the GOES-S into orbit at 1702 EST. We're watching live coverage on NASA-TV and if all goes well, we'll be able to see the rocket heading skyward from the vantage point at the end of my driveway after it lifts off. We have partly...

    Model Airplanes

    Yup! I got started when I went to a hobby shop to buy a plastic model kit and saw all kinds of flying models hanging from the ceiling. When the store clerk told me about them, I got hooked. Started with with this rubber-powered Guillow's Fairchild 24. After I learned how to actually make it...
