Ken;I am usually out at the hangar on Saturday afternoons from noon-5PM or so.Look up San Geronimo Airpark, 8T8, on Airnav or Google. It's about 10 mileswest of San Antonio on Hwy. 471 just before you get to the Bexar/Medinacounty line (where hwy. 211 runs into 471). Call or text me on my cellphone,(210) 621-4729 or email me at taildrags(at)hotmail.comIt's nothing fancy, but you're welcome to come out and look. Maybe if JohnKuhfahl is around, you can look at his Piet project too. He lives at theairpark.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"San Antonio, TXwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________

Ken;When my wife and I visited the maritime museum in San Diego, one of the highlightswas being able to tour the inside of a cold war-era Russian sub, the B-39. Asyouwalk out the quay to where the sub is moored, there is a plywood bulkhead acrossthewalkway and you can't get past it without going through a cutout in the bulkhead.the instructions say that if you can't get through the opening, you can't enterthesub because you won't be able to traverse the interior of it through the watertighthatches and it's so confined inside that tours have to go just one way, bow tostern,with no turning back around.I think I'll make a plywood cutout to a certain size and shape and if visitorsto myhangar can get through the cutout, I'll be able to take them up in my airplane.I won't ask if you think you could make it through the cutout. We'll know soonenough!Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"San Antonio, TXwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2011 22:35:50 -0400

A good point to bring up here is that he's an oldguy with all his fingers. I'm an 'old guy with all hisfingers' ! I do that stuff. So why do we have all ourfingers? Because we pay attention. When Ioperate such a tool my eyes never leave thatpoint of contact between blade and material ANDwhere my fingers are.I don't care how much 'safety' stuff you have on atool, your attention wanders and body bits are gone.I am NOT saying that you should not have and usesafety equipment! Just don't replace your brains withit.Clif ----- Original Message -----

It's alright Jack. They just pick on us cause they can'tdo it. :-)Guitar pickers get upset when they can't keep upwith that old time clawhammer. :-)Clif What have y'all got against banjos? I don't get near as many complaints when I play my banjo as I do when I play my bagpipe.

ALWAYS set your beer on the same side as your dominant hand The above statement was from one of my 9 fingered NCOs who lost a finger to a tablesaw. He was still funny.
