Too late.  Got in the last 30 minutes of one they did with Norton Aircraft.  They built a 1:1 model to test radar reflection.  Wish they'd re-run the episode.

 

 

...actually.... NatGEo had it on last week...

 

 

SHAZZBOT!!!

"Na-Nu Na-Nu"

If the program is on DVD, maybe Cube Manny can get another view by requesting a copy be ordered by the local library.....

What are chances it floats away with the next heavy  rain in Vance's area?

 

 

Akkk!!  The horror.  The horror.

I did take archive photos before sending it to the Great White North.

Gott sei dank !

Manny would be heart broken if he couldn't let his tear-filled eyes gaze once again on those signatures....

Hopefully the spies have not intercepted the gadget...and hopefully Nat Geo has not gotten wind of it or they will be running a special on it.

The details of the bolshevik infiltration, err, postal strike are as follows...

Rotating strikes, a different city or two every day for the past week. (So mail could be delayed a whole day - imagine my shock!) On Friday, Canada Post declares that due to the decrease in mail volume, they only plan on delivery service three days/week for the time being due to lack of work for their unionized employees. Doesn't side like much of an order of battle to me, it is obvious to me that neither side has a proper Field Marshall in their employ. I haven't noticed that my junk mail is any later than usual...

Meanwhile I have sent one of Manny's spies my cats down to the local clearing station so I will know asap when the Ho arrives.
