We spent a pretty lazy Memorial Day weekend - just "recovering" from our BVI trip. Steve and Gretchen invited several couples from the community over for a potluck. I thought the lineup of golf carts made a cute photo....funny, none of us play golf!!


The crew relaxing before enjoying a great potluck. We have some great cooks! Amazing how there is always a good balance of different food at these events.
After the gathering, Duane and I surveyed Steve's progress on his airplane construction. It is a Velocity - look at http://www.velocityaircraft.com/ to see what the plane will look like when finished.

This is his hangar - the mezzanine is actually partitioned off with clear plastic (not really visible) and is air conditioned so that he can do all the epoxy work in a controlled environment.
Here is Steve explaining about a tool he is using...

Really tedious construction - but he seems to enjoy the process. He is extremely dedicated and capable - I'm sure it will be an award-winner when complete!
