Can you believe it? Already we're coming into the Fall of the year; how can that be, it seems like Summer just got started? But in this neck of the woods fall makes for some terrific flying days-cool mornings, light winds, and only an occasional chance of rain. What more could a guy ask? It also means that the winter building season is fast approaching as the cool mornings turn cold, and for those in the northern regions the blacktop runways will turn white with snow, so it won't be long before the wheels and pontoons give way to skis-at least for the adventurous type. It also means that it might be time to straighten up the shop. During the flying season, when the main function in the shop is repair rather than building, things do tend to get a little disorganized. Personally, I can't deal with clutter! I'm okay with a little dirt, but clutter is my Achilles heel; it just drives me nuts, and if I have to hunt for a tool or part for more than about three seconds, it's time to take a minute to halt production and straighten things up.
