couple of days now. I am about to have my progress slow to a
crawl due to the City kicking us  out of my hangar
during repair to the roof from Hurricane Ike.  It has
been delayed but they are telling us now that we are out in
ten days.  I need y'all to be making progress and
asking questions so I can enjoy vicariously!!!
>  I may be able to wire my panel up on the dining
room table.  Also,  I may still make some progress
as well on the turbo manifold.  Can't complain much
though, the engine, while still needing some tuning, is
starting consistently and is getting tweaked.  Also,
this will allow me to spend time with my son.  He is 14
days old.  Charles David Barber...Charlie....I think it
has  a friendly sound. Never expected to be a dad and
now I am a single dad at FORTY-EIGHT years old. DOH! (if I
have figured out what caused it....see, I should have been
building more...well, unless it happened at the hangar
<g>).  Poor kid, he will never know a young dad
<sigh> The mother (I can't call her a mom) will be out
of the picture for 3 to 10 years. <g>.  No joke
she turned out to be a con artist and is in prison. 
Sentencing is the end of this month.  She already took
the plea. Kinda a Madoff "light"  She likely "got
pregnant" thinking should could trap me, and as the judge
said according to her mother, to gain sympathy in front
of  a jury. A real bad apple.  Yeah, 20/20
hindsight and all.........
>  Yeah, I know and understand the comical elements
of a cop/lawyer dating (on and off) a woman who was a con
artist.  Uh, it would be much funnier if it were not
happening to me. Must have figured I gave her credibility
for her scams involving millions of dollars.  I did
think she had some emotional immaturity but originally
chalked this up to her being 15 years younger than
I......not criminally crazy. I was not a financial victim,
well, except kids are expensive <yikes>.  And
yes, for those still reading, I took the paternity
test.  15 of 15 markers are identical.
>  So, since I am a firm believer that it is not
what happens to you in life but how you handle it,  I
will make the most of this path that has been laid out
before me.  Wow, a son...who would of thought? 
Sorry if the last part of this post is not rotary related,
but I consider you guys friends and I am all about sharing
:-).
>  Hmmmmm, when I get back into the hangar (if the
City does not play too many games) I wonder where I can
place the playpen?????  The kid wll be able to tune a
rotary by his first birthday....cheap help
huh?   I hope I will be a good dad.
