This thing called life
Temperatures hit 85-90 in the Twin Cities this week. Yahtzee! I've put off canopy/window work since late last fall and I was at the point where nothing else could proceed. So we drilled the rear window and I've been prepping it up with standing etc the last day or so.
I'd hoped this summer would allow me to get the canopy done and have first engine start, but, alas, other plans have surfaced.
My older sister (70) has leukemia and is getting a bone marrow transplant at Dana Farber in Boston. So I'll be moving back to Massachusetts for three months to take care of her.
The plane will just have to wait until next summer.

Yep! Exactly! Family comes first! The airplane will be there when you get back. Then you can give your healed Sister a ride! Sending healing energy!

I’m in the same boat. So close to finishing I can taste it. But I have been taking care of my 95 year old mom for last 3 months. She fell and broke her hip and pelvis. Hope she gets stronger soon. But the plane can wait it’s turn.

Hi Bob,
I'm based at KPYM, just south of Boston. I'll send you a PM with my contact information. I would welcome the opportunity to meet up. We can hangar fly or maybe even do the real thing.
Cheers,
Mike

It can be more than just not "stepping up". Sometimes families grow apart for other reasons. I'm envious of such a close relationship between siblings. Good on you Bob!
