Well well.....today has been an up and down day. It started at 730 am, the lowest part of my day, when my friend Bradley and I hop in my truck and start off on a hunting trip. We got 1 1/2 blocks from my house. Why? Because a repair I had originally made on my truck failed (NOT THE TRUCKS FAULT) and the poor girl hemorrhaged 7 quarts of ATF all over the road. Joy. so I had to fix that. it wasn't a hard fix, but laying under a truck in 40 degree weather with semi-warm ATF dripping in your face isn't exactly what I would call an enjoyable morning. Lukewarm ATF is the color and consistency of blood....bleh.
BUT, I got it fixed. Shame I didn't get to take a walk this morning. which is sad, because this was the day, by murphy's law, that all the shootable deer were going to be where I was going. Alas and sigh and all that.
On a happier note, I did manage to find not only a diagram for my research project, but I found complete engineering diagrams, cutaways and internal drawings of the B-17. This way I can match parts found on my lil safari to an actual place on the aircraft, and give a breakdown of what survived the crash. It will all come together and people can read it in my report if anyone wants it. After i turn it in of course. Anyway, I think I'll post some pics here for everyones viewing pleasure. Cheers.
