| Interesting thing happened at the "Greatest County Fair" (Clay County, Iowa): I decided to take the OL-8 there for judging and entered it in the "Replica - Wood" category. The judge (and his seeing eye dog" disqualified it as it was "..Obviousley made of plastic because it did not show any wood grain...) ?????? What can I say? |

| On a lighter note: This guy has been the welcoming sight to greet everyone here in Spencer, IA since 2009. He is at the south end of the entrance to "Historical Downtown Spencer" right on Hwy 71. CAn't believe that I haven't posted this before. |

| Somewhere in this 600 acre field is my 32" RC piper cub. Lost it when the batteries fell out of my Xmttr. This field also has eaten a friend's 36 inch foamy Mustang. |

| 14 days to get to this point. Working with foam is something different; very soft and prone to dings. Even from fingernails. Made the Stars & Bars and "slime lights" on my printer. Tail coes are from some vinyl letter sheets and completely bogus. Still awaiting the arrival of the EDF from China. |
