I'm still working on my aeromods,
so methinks,
I need to head for your farm so you can help me be less affected by the headwinds I encounter on my commute to and from work.
You are a great inspiration to the rest of us Sir,
Thank You,

Truth be told I wish I had the time to work on my car.
I have to go now and work on Brakes for
"The Friends of the Elderly"
A charity I donate time to.
Maybe tomorrow I work on my own stuff.
