Deschutes County Fair

It's FAIR WEEK AGAIN. It takes months to prep for this event. I will try to post some clips here through the week.

Nice Sunset

Thanks for the great images Randy.

The prototype is done. Here is an image to look at.

Bend Aero Modelers Airshow

We spent a few hours at the BAM airport this Saturday. This club has a very impressive airport setup. It's 700' long and it's paved. The pit area has material down to keep rocks and dust from getting to the runway. Very nice.
What a blast to see all the different types of planes. Even a Toro lawn mower, you have got to see this thing fly!! The kids had a great time. It was a little far for us go drive but was worth the time effort and fuel to get there.
Members of the BAM do this every year and camp out in the High Desert.
I will post some images as a slide show to the right.
Enjoy.

Common Courtesy and Respect

Where has it gone? Does it still exist? Does anyone know what it means? Are parents teaching this to their children, or are we expecting someone else to teach them.
Seems to me the number of juvenile punks are on the rise and no way to stop them. You can not reason with them, all you get is an argument.

But it's not just the kids.... It's also the Adults. Have you driven on the road lately? No wonder "road rage," is so prevalent.

Are people so stressed out that they have forgotten how to function as a society?

Looks like I only have questions and no answers.

4th

I thought I would try out a camera at the light show. Here are a few images.
