Awful nice "shack" ya got there street. Looks like most would call a cabin -
Street-when I looked at your picture, I assumed it was your cabin. I agree that it is a nice "shack".
^Excellent that you built that with hand tools!!! Hand tools are a lot more work, but give a patina that you can't get with power tools.
Headed to ranch for the day again before the snowstorm arrives. Last week I cut some timber and hauled it part of the way up and today I hauled it all the rest of the way up to the cabin. I got it all in the woodshed to keep it dry before the heavy snows that are coming.
Had lunch at a line shack I built with a homemade woodstove. The little place is a 3-season shack but is very easy to heat. I have a fold in half bed and many supplies to hold up for weeks if I had to.
I also walked some brush and cedar draws hoping to harvest a few pheasants but never got a shot. There is 100's of them and was surprised I didn't jump a few.
Walked out late afternoon and headed home for the night was a great day once again. A picture of inside the shack.
I had a fun day today flying R/C airplanes. Normally I don't do that in temperatures below 50°F but I really wanted to try out the new Eratix airplane that arrived a few days ago, and figured with a couple of layers that included a heated jacket I probably wouldn't freeze. Oh, and there was practically zero wind, that makes a huge difference.
This thing is fun! I have never seen an R/C airplane fly as slowly as that one does, nor one that can do a loop in little more than it's own length. It's intended for what is called "3D aerobatics" or just "3D" a particular style of flying. Yes I get that all airplanes operate in three dimensions but this just means very short dimensions.
So this is one that is safe to fly in the back yard because of the short turnaround characteristics and slow speeds. Even wide open it doesn't go very fast and it's not intended to. I may end up buying another one just to have a spare should some terrible tragedy befall it, which is possible or even likely with this type of airplane that tempts one to "push the envelope".
That looks like a good plane for me. I love that close flying like they do in gymnasiums.I had a fun day today flying R/C airplanes.
