Nov 3 Tuesday
Great sunny day. Never waste a good day on the ground. Mary goes off to the office for the day. Don and Vic go flying in Don's vintage Aeronca. I guess that makes Vic vintage as well. The airplane is one year older than Vic. After "de tookoff", Vic takes over the controls. It has been several years but it all comes back, just like riding a bike. We fly northward to the Lake Michigan shoreline and head west toward Gary Indiana to view the steel works. Then we so a 180 and fly back past Michigan City to New Buffalo. About an hour and a quarter we land back at the La Porte airport. Great flight. Thanks , Don.
In the afternoon, Bev and Vic go into La Porte to buy a propane tank at the Ace hardware store. We need the short stubby 11 pound tank to fit into the RV "basement" storage compartment. Ace’s price is better than Camping World, a large chain of stores throughout the US.
Later in the afternoon, Don and I take on the task of upgrading Don’s satellite system. We need to replace the current LNB thingy and also install a HD receiver. We install the LNB and then try to re-align the dish, using the new satellite aiming gizmo I got recently. We just couldn’t get things right and had to give up with the onset of darkness. :(
