One of my volunteers and I got a great start to the week working on a display deck for a helicopter drone at the museum. It's supposed to look like part of the deck of a Navy destroyer. I spent ALL last week welding it's frame together, only to have the top develop a distinct bow, kind of like a shallow hill. I'm not all that experienced when it comes to sticking metal together. Anyway, we worked the problem today and when we left it was ready to get it's decking applied first thing tomorrow morning. Looking really good! The drone is currently hanging from the rafters in one of our hangars, and it has to come down soon since it's a bit in the way of some new construction. I don't have a great big monkey on my back, but it would be good to finish as promised.
Otherwise, at home I got a lot done on the airplane model I'm making for X-Plane, and just finished zipping around a bit in northern Brazil after getting the laundry done, eating supper and watching an awesome episode of House.
The Amazonian terrain is awesome, and would likely be what Pandora looks like from the air. This is probably where I'm (someday) going to put together a landscape that reflects Hell's Gate, Hometree II and, of course, the Tree of Souls and Hallelujah Mountains. I surrendered to common sense and realize I'm not going to be able to do full terrain for the entire moon!! Go figure.
Mondays usually blow chunks 'cause of having to go back to work, but then again, it's usually my best day of the week since I'm recharged. They call that a dichotomy.
