I'm not a particularly (organized) religious person. I relate to the George Burns "God" ("I don't worry about the little things, kid"). but every now and again there are "signs" that help me. Maybe just coincidence. But I choose to take them as signs.
A couple of weeks ago on a ferry ride to Madeline Island, one of the Apostle Islands in Lake Superior, I was thinking about all the work I needed to do on the RV, when an RV-6 appeared over the ferry and buzzed a few times.
Yesterday morning, just before Doug Weiler took a look at the project as part of a tech counselor visit, I was similarly overwhelmed looking at all the work I need to do (I'd like to thank Doug's hangar-buddy, an RV-7A builder who proclaimed a couple of weeks ago, "boy you have a long way to go." Thanks, I needed that. ), when I decided to go for a walk instead.
I headed over to the terminal building at KSGS for a little air conditioning. And what do you know, a transient RV-9A was parked right outside the door. I looked it over for awhile and it gave me enough inspiration to get back at it.
So, thanks, John McCoy of Independence, Oregon. I looked up your N number. I don't know what you were doing a long way from home, but it provided a nice sign to keep at it.
