A-Berrying

This week's work included adding some fencing on the left and starting some strawberries.  It's some easy to see progress, which makes me happy.

Air And Space

France's national air and space museum is at LeBourget, and these two rockets stand outside it.  Even they were surrounded by aircraft on display.  The large plane is an old Antonov from the Ukraine and the sleek black one is the new Russian fighter.  Tomorrow, some pictures of flight.

Past Half

I have merely to add the medallion on the end to be done with this side of the row.  Yay!

Along The Jetway

 At Le Bourget, the planes that fly are parked along the walkway to the viewing stands.  This means you get to see them up close and personal, along with drones (surprise) and missles and helicopters.  As you can see from the pictures below, Israel was especially proud of its Iron Dome system.  You can also see that it was a very cloudy day- and this was the best day of the three.

Filling In Holes

This past session, I was just filling in holes and pushing the piece forward.  Nothing stands out as "done" this time.

Beautiful Tools

 Tools can be beautiful, too!

C & K Connectors And Other Things

I -really- liked the way this connector company (C&K) displayed their stuff - so much so that I made Andreas take this picture and the rep came over.  We talked for a while about how I liked what he did with his stuff and that there was a lot of beauty in industrial things.  We were some of the few people who took time to talk to reps during the public days.  After he gave me the cute tiny notebook and pen below, I told him my son was an aerospace engineer.  He felt his time had definitely not been wasted!  My son Sean got the notebook.  I kept the pen to myself.  More pictures of what I thought artistic below, and a couple more drones, too!
