About 14 years ago I volunteered at a MAAC sanctioned world class glider competition here in our province. There were about 50 of us including officials, timers, pilots and crews members from many...

I was defending no one, just stating that the injuries were in line with what could be expected given the situation.

This is the closest I could find in the safety code on the subject at hand....

"Scratches to necks and shoulders."... No body bags... good thing of course but any object dropping from that height into a crowd is going to inflict scratches and maybe some bruising.

Here is a...

Thanks Bill. That time of life comes to all, unavoidable.

Summers are so busy even at the best of times with garden and yard work. We have thinned out the livestock now to a few ducks and they are...

Speaking of Canada's 150th, I had all kinds of plans for flying the two Canadian themed planes I have but life got in the way big time this year. It started with the deterioration and passing of my...

There you go. I'm nowhere near there but somebody out there is.

Are you looking for nitro methane to mix your own fuel or are you wanting to buy premixed glow fuel? Where do you live?

Wheel bearings taken care of now!

So Rellic - if you are still on this site and you see a yellow streak through your town, not to worry. It's just a couple of old Albertans and it's temporary!...

Oh yes! Got that covered! :glee:

Well I ran out of time to get the new engine going so rather than let the buggy sit all summer, I put the old one back in. Then I proceeded to spend WAY too much time getting it running properly! Aw...

That's a beaut Brodie!

Walleye/ Pickerel - same thing.

Do they stock that pond in the middle of Camrose?

The trout are anywhere up to 2.5 lbs but there has been more than one 20lb+ slough shark pulled out of here!

Sweet! Enjoy, he will be gone far too soon!

We ran into a glitch in the system. Went to get my son a fishing licence - wouldn't give him one because he was going to be 17 so couldn't get the...

Man! This is bad news! Jodi has his name on our canoe from a weekend he spent with us at our club field. I hear rumors there may have been two other club members killed in the same collision...

As...

Trying our hand at making maple syrup toffee. This is 5 gallons of sap boiled down and on a cookie sheet! Now to see what it's like when it cools...

Cool! We have hydrometers at work for testing oil density but I would need a test cup a foot and a half deep to use them. These look much better, thanks!

You know , I hear guys all the time say "I don't know what I would do if I were to retire." My gosh! The world is your oyster buddy! What a lack of ambition and imagination! Sure it takes money to do...

I have no idea what all effects production or why. This is only the second year we have tried it and the trees I think should produce well don't always and the same with the weather. I'm not even...

Did the final cleaning on the engine case last night. I have most of the parts gathered up now so it's time to start assembling the fresh engine.

Sap is running strong here now! 20 gallons on the boil! Got it down to one pot now and expect 5 pints in the end.

Hey cool! Ya, just started my "tap line" a week ago. It's been a cool week so not much action yet. I found it takes about 5 gallons of sap to make a pint of syrup so yes you need to tap more trees. I...

It's all good!

You know, when I think back on the few hand/prop related injuries I had witnessed and experienced the vast majority have happened after the engine is running. And they are the worst! That I think is...

In all the years I have been hand starting model engines the Cox are the worst.

Two questions though:
1) how does lint damage a prop?
2)nice demo but the engine never did start - that makes it...
