Last night I attended my first Chapter meeting for my local EAA Chapter. Very interesting! Turned out that in addition to the regular monthly meeting, Addison Pemberton and his buddy Larry (sorry Larry, don't remember your last name) did a presentation on their recent experience flying lead in the National Air Tour (NAT) 2003. It was a great show! Thanks guys for sharing it with us.

My wife went on a business trip and brought me back this...not bad, eh? Who knows, maybe next she'll be bringing me tools when she returns from a trip! *grin*

Finally got the bandsaw! Man, this thing was heavy.

Several hours later, after having practically thrown the directions away they were so freakin' useless, It's finally done. It came with plastic cover panels for the base, but they didn't fit well so I tossed 'em. I got this at Harbor Freight on sale, and it works dandy, but as I said, the directions were horrible!
