Don Silsbe Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I'm starting to wonder if epoxy might contain some mysterious addictive properties, that make us want to build yet another boat. I think it's in the sanding dust. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterP Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Don, try that for your next passport photo. It should make for some interesting times going through airport security. PeterP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hmmm... Nope - I'm specifically NOT addicted to bunny suits and respirators (and sanding!) What little progress I make in life is made in spite of things like that. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone who's seen my work. Is that a Pietenpol on your shirt?

AmosSwogger Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I can be the street corner dealer that supplies your addiction; come on over I have plenty of sanding for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt S. Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Sanding is definitely not addictive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a dream come true for me. I had always wanted to ride in a biplane. This pilot, a retired airline pilot, was offering rides. It was in Michigan, near Mackinac Island. My wife bought me a ride as birthday present. It was a sweet ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I haven't been up in a biplane - That must have been a blast! I didn't see the lower wing on your shirt (I might have been distracted by your expression) so I thought the plane was a parasol. I've had the pleasure of brief flights in the front cockpits of two Pietenpol Aircampers on pretty much opposite sides of the planet (North Carolina and Western Australia) but I haven't had the fun of flying behind a big radial engine in an open cockpit yet. I'm entertaining the idea of returning to the US long enough to get a private pilot license because I could probably get it for less money (including travel) than if I get a license here, but for now I'm having a good time playing with boats. There are some really beautiful classic planes near here but there aren't many airstrips to fly to. There's lots of water to sail, though.
