13 Sept., 2008 -- EAA meeting today

It worked! The computer that I've been hassling for two days performed all day just fine. It's slow, though, with an ancient Celeron processor. We really didn't have much time to play Flight Simulator, just tweaking and fussing, and exploring software options.

The flight simulator is surrounded in the EAA hangar by airplane stuff: an airplane engine, a skeletal airframe, airplane construction tools and parts, and a big barbecue (we gotta eat, ya know).

Hurricane Ike's eye is marching into Arkansas tonight. Here today the clouds rolled around low, spitting mist at us now and then. Tomorrow we will probably get the big wind and rain.
