A lot has happened since I last made an entry.
I might be a few weeks out with dates, but around weekend of 28 March Stan's sister Ada and husband Rob Nicholson came to visit our hangar. We all stayed overnight at our favourite Yarrawonga Waters. It was great to have them there as Stan and Rob put their heads together and worked out a few minor problems. Stan and I thoroughly enjoyed our weekend - hope the Nicholson's felt the same. Since then Rob has been hospitalised with a scheduled major back operation so it will be some time before they can return to Yarrawonga.
The following weekend my brother Kevin and his wife Sandra from Orbost were passing through Yarrawonga so we also met them at the hangar. We now know we can fit two Prado's and a caravan inside along the driveway edge of the hangar. Not sure why but they seemed a bit nervous when the hangar door opened above their Prado!
We took some merbau timber to Yarrawonga for edging the outside of our sliding doors. Stan fitted them and then they received a couple of coats of paint to dry for a week.
Came home Sunday and next day Stan's cousin Shirley and husband Ken Methven from Warneet visited the hangar in our absence. Apparently it was blowing a gale but they said 'they'll be back'!
Then it was back to hangar again at Easter, this time for several days. A bit quiet as the McLean's and the McNamara's and several others were away at Narrabri - getting rather wet and muddy - but that wasn't supposed to happen.
Stan fitted the merbau to the doorways, then painted all some more. Very pleasing end result.
Had three good flights during our stay, first time trike out of hangar on new asphalt. We will have to think about being really lazy and fitting a remote to the hangar door controls.
Last Friday, 24 April Stan talked his cousin John Morgan from Morwell into driving him to Yarrawonga for the day. It was a bare block of land last time John was there so it certainly has changed. Stan had a few things to sort out getting ready for the next time he's out of work and can work at the hangar instead.
Next time we visit Yarrawonga it will be sometime in May - where has the year gone?
