Good Day from Aussie Boomerang Brother   Message List

Good Day Mr Octogenarian. (Rusty)

 

      I was pleased to see your many friends congratulating you on your eighty year Milestone. As is my way, I sat back and enjoyed reading the many accolades that came your way.

 

      You are often in my fondest thoughts, a bit like “Fried Eggs and Crispy bacon”. Like fried eggs and crispy bacon though we just don’t come together as much as I would like.

 

      Reading your health problems reminded me of my brother “Jack”.

 

       I was also reminded of wise words that came my way when in Primary School.

 “Being of good health, beats being of good wealth.”

 

      No! That doesn’t mean if you’re sick you must be wealthy.

 

      I found a source of plywood again. Hoop Pine Marine 6mm five ply and 4mm three ply.

      Nearby another supplier has 6mm Pacific Maple marine grade at about 60% of the cost of hoop pine.

The grain texture is very different so I plan to have lots of fun checking which one is better regards flight performance. Hand sanding them is what I would imagine it would be like rubbing the fur from a ferret.

     

      The words on one of Gary’s shirt, is still ringing true.

 

      “Do what you love, Love what you do.”

 

      Sure works for me.

 

                  Boomerang Brother Bob
