    I've dragged my tools around in a variety of tool bags for a couple decades now, just finally had the time and was ready to create this

    I did it this way

    Thanks so much for sharing your holiday with us. I always enjoy the pictures of your adventures. I am glad you didn't have to deal with all the airplane delays getting down to Florida.
    Sorry to hear about your father but when Jesus arrives in the clouds of glory, we will all see our loved ones who died in Christ. 1 Thess 4:13-18. He has promised and He keeps his promises.

    20230303_084130.jpg 20230303_090942.jpg 20230303_091058.jpg the next morning my sister and I skied to the top of a ridge behind lake placid before work. This lean-to is open for anyone to use, first come first served or shared. It was evident that people had camped in it the night or so before.
    On the way down she left me far behind since she does this almost every day and this was my 4th time in two years. 20230303_093913.jpg the view of Whiteface is stunning 20230303_101002.jpg Cascades lake and pass is always my favorite part of the drive to or from lake placid 20230303_202052.jpg the parts showed up so I could fix the aircraft, then I had to run the engines and taxi around to test it out, my first time doing that by myself. 20230303_130216.jpg a the silver panel on this wing oozes out an anti-icing substance, this is how you test it in the hangar 20230304_130513.jpg removing a broken antenna from the roof of a jet. 20230306_165857.jpg 20230306_153546.jpg tried to go skiing one last time, ended up hiking almost half of it 20230307_073626.jpg what the inside of an aircraft wing looks like with the fuel tank removed 20230315_164203.jpg 20230315_171002.jpg that last "big" storm of the winter snowed all day and left less snow at the end of the day than at the beginning, drove a few miles north and found enough snow to ski on in Plaistow. 20230309_173559.jpg 20230320_191920.jpg sunset over downtown, in just a few days it was warm enough to walk comfortably and catch these 20230321_144527.jpg life flight helicopter at Barnes Airport, this is the airport you can see from the mass pike 20230322_170443.jpg had a pastors conference in PA, right at the end of the first rail train in the US. As you can tell, it's essentially unimproved, and much of it was still frozen or deep mud. 20230323_151104.jpg my kind of store, near the NY/PA line out west

    20230327_165744.jpg 20230327_165751.jpg first skate of the year on the east marsh trail. Salisbury, MA and the view of upper Newburyport Harbor 20230405_110618.jpg took a little drive around RI after working on an aircraft at TF Green, discovered another lighthouse. 20230406_155446.jpg 20230406_160013.jpg 20230406_161853.jpg 20230406_162030.jpg 20230406_162259.jpg 20230406_162456.jpg 20230406_162743.jpg 20230406_163221.jpg 20230406_164119.jpg Halibut point state park, Rockport, MA.
    My oldest daughter was home so I took the family here for the first time. There's an old query, and endless rocks and views of the ocean.
    This is one place you can watch a sunset over the ocean on the coast of cape Ann, on a clear day you can see into Maine 20230412_104259.jpg 20230412_104509.jpg a number of years ago a sink hole developed in the street and the highway department had to dig it up. We didn't know if, but they disconnected our sewer line, and plugged the end of the pipe.
    A Crack in the pipe allowed the water out, and the pipe acted like a septic tank.
    Easter weekend the plumbing finally backed up, and we had my daughter and in laws visiting.
    The city has still not paid the church back for the cost to fix their mistake by the highway department, a $12,000 oops.
    Thankfully we could all move into my mother's condo for the rest of the time until the pipe was reconnected by the sewer department.
    20230414_170250.jpg 20230414_171500.jpg Newburyport is working on making their rail trail a loop, the sidewalk on Parker Street is almost complete back to the crosswalk by the courthouse. 20230414_171510.jpg how I control my speed on the bridge over the Merrimack River, it wears my wrist guard down slightly, but it beats crashing 20230426_145837.jpg
    I was excited to see that delta has some of their mavericks at Boston, still waiting for mine

    20230427_164502.jpg if you've ever watched that show "battlebots" getting an idea of the scale of the robots is hard, this puts it in perspective.
    20230427_175836.jpg 20230427_195320.jpg 20230427_195426.jpg had some time to wait while working on a jet, caught this sunset and my truck while waiting
    20230506_171709.jpg a rare sight, a whalejet still flying. Most A380s are being scrapped now, but covid caused weird delays in new aircraft production, keeping these oddball flying longer than expected
    20230513_102627.jpg 20230513_102844.jpg 20230513_103402.jpg 20230513_105106.jpg 20230513_105638.jpg some pictures from the Westfield airshow, my wife and kids were away for the weekend, so I had a fun day at the airshow.
    This will be the last for the air guard to fly F-15s, next airshow they will have battle-penguins, F-35 fighters.

    What’s your source for them being scrapped? Many were parked for a while. But as far as I know, most of those have returned to service. This map shows all A380-800’s airborne right now.. obviously the concentration is in the Middle East.

    Pretty sure the biggest threat to the A380 is newer, larger, more fuel efficient engines and the airframes they fit on.
    Now that demand is back after the pandemic any of the companies and banks with money invested in them want ROI.
