Elliott Brack

I went to Elliot Brack's funeral yesterday. He was a friend. And he was quite a character. He was one of the first people I met outside of work when I moved to Georgia. He was sort of a variation of the main character of Tom Wolfe's "A Man In Full". I used to say that Elliott and I had a 50-50 relationship. He told me what to do and I did it. His 50% was telling me. My 50% was doing it. He was a fixture at my church and involved me in all sorts of things. Including organization of our "Civic Breakfast" where we invited leaders from the community for information and opinions of the community. It goes on and on. There were 260 people attending his funeral. He will be missed. https://www.crowellbrothers.com/obituaries/Elliott-Earl-Brack?obId=48440319

I broke my new kodak digital camera. What a drag. It didn't take much. I got it for 80 bucks but still. The LCD got broke somehow. Renning's Maxim: Man is the highest animal. Man does the classifying.

Man, it has been a while since I blogged. Here is a good one to get started again. -------You opened it, so you believe in it too. Something good will happen to you between 12:00 pm and 9:00 pm tomorrow. No catch. It could happen anywhere or anytime; you will fix your relationship problems for the next 2 years, maybe it was someone you once loved (or still do) and can't get them out of your mind, or money, or something you lost, or just someone that's given you a helping hand. To spread the positive karma, re-post this in another city in the next 10 minutes. You will get the shock of your life tomorrow. I believe. I hope you do too. What do you have to lose?go

I have had the flu. I went in the walk-in clinic and they said they would call me if I have the Swine flu. They haven't called. Last weekend I helped DJ's Dad do a little demo on his barn. Time to replace some block now. Here is a youtube of the wall coming down.

It seems like it has been raining a little bit everyday. The plane is in the shop with a bad cylinder. I am getting itchy to fly again. The Binghamton airshow is really large this year. The Blue Angles are here and all that. I will be watching from the house. I don't really care for the large airshows. The smaller ones are nicer, not all the crowds, prices and hassle. My camera is damaged. It was in my pocket and a piece of metal flew up that I was working with and it struck me in the groin and got the camera LCD screen as well. I am not sure which got the worst of it. Time for a new camera. I bought that camera about three years ago. I can get something a lot better now for less money. I remember buying a Sony Mavica years ago (1999) for 600 bucks. I planned to have the 1-megapixel camera for 10 years. It just doesn't work that way. 5 years is about it before new features and performance render things obsolete. We experienced yet some more rainbows. Look closely and you ca...
