It's amazing when you think about it. Matthew and I managed to get out of bed at 9:00 this morning, drive to the office, and tow an airplane 30 feet to the yard beside the building. Upon arriving at the side of the building, we discovered that our original plan of placing the aircraft on the lawn was nearly impossible thanks to some heckling onlookers and an African American Gentleman sitting on the steps yelling obscenities at us. Not to let a bunch of liberals get the best of us, we turned the aircraft sideways, picked it up, and carried all 1.2 ounces of it onto the lawn. Then we went inside and sat at our desks surfing the internet and complaining about the heat and hard work.
So after the arduous task of placing an airplane on the lawn, we set out to sit in the shade of the wing all day and tell passers-by about our welcome back Technology BBQ & John Wayne film Festival this wednesday night at 6:00. (For those convoginators or readers who would for some reason be in the Hope area...) I digress, getting this thing in place was literally a "bitch and a half." Getting it back out will be a full "two bitches." It makes for a nice picture though, and I love the look on people's faces when they see it and ask, "Did you crash land that here?" I keep a straight face and say, "It was more of a precise landing, really..."
So as the sun came up, the high grade copy paper heats up and expands, causing it to slightly curl and sag. We tried to prop it up with sticks and mounds of pine needles but to no avail. Unfortunately, a dim witted passerby casually threw their half-smoked cigarette in our direction and not only burnt up our Tech Plane, but also caused 3rd degree burns to Matthews thighs and the arches of my feet...who knew? Anyway...fun for all... Off for a smoke and a pancake!
