Helicopters and Haircuts (un-related)

The weather is slowly getting warmer although we did have to fill up the propane tank today!

This morning was laundry time for Lyn (lucky girl!), and I finally plucked up the courage to take the helicopter for a flight (for those that don’t know this is a radio control model helicopter!). So far it has only been flown at home and has become well acquainted with the fence, the house, the deck and pretty much any other immovable object it can find. At the campsite there are a couple of large grass fields, this was an ideal area for me to practice in as there was only one tree in the whole field. The helicopter flew fine, and without the obstructions of the backyard I was able to fly it and experiment with out fear of crashing. Well almost with out fear, I did manage to chop a few leaves off the tree at about the 50ft mark, otherwise all went well. My faith has been restored, if I can get enough practice in here, I should have a better feel for the beast in a confined area.

After lunch we headed about 10 miles north to the town of Ware so Lyn could get her hair cut. It gave me time to wander around Lowes, but these days what with having a Lowes in Ottawa and parity + with the $ there are no bargains to be had 🙁

We had planned a trip to Boston tomorrow, but the latest forecast doesn’t look too promising… maybe Wednesday
