A couple more shots from the good ol' CLPA daze days
« on: March 10, 2010, 02:52:24 PM »
A couple of old Kodachrome slides from Les McDonalds old Kodachrome 10 daze days...
First Kodachrome 10  is from his Jan 73 collection...Great looking model...(both of them!:)

2nd shot is a random Kodachrome from his WC Holland 76 trip and his fellow competitior T. Hara and his amazing FLYING BOX! Hey Les...Do you remember what model was in that big fancy box?

That box contains his "Hurricane". He used it for many years and it flew really well.
Hara is a pretty cool guy and was a big deal in Japan during the glory days of stunt.
Back then the Japanese team seemed to be connected with the Enya factory and he had a pretty potent .45 in the front of that thing.

I see people my age out there climbing mountains and zip lining and here I am feeling good about myself because I got my leg through my underwear without losing my balance

Is that near Mountain Home and Bull Shoals Dam? Been there. I think I saw you down at the local general store one afternoon, sittin in a rockin chair with two fellers whittlin..  H^^ LL~ LL~


You say old men...Whittlin' Diddlin' n' Fiddlin'???
Sure sounds like my family tree...Humm? Maybe me n my twin sister had uh nutter brotha? Hummm?
That twoood' huv' made us triplets instead of just twins?"

 (Maybe that other little new born fellar' wiggled off away from Mary and I that night , while we were born under that old maple tree down by ta' pig trough?"*

 (That was Arky birthcontrol...in those daze days.)
 Us up the river , back woods folks..would  often put their newbee's out in the woods over night under a tree.
 If we survived until daybreak..."We were meant to survive n' survive...and they then, would keep us.

The gene pool seems not to affect one's abilities to play banjo, however. I'm from a different continent altogether.
This is me, last year....

What is this relationship between guitar playing and control line stunt. There CANNOT be a coincidence. It is just coming up way too frequently.

Can't be true that Americans don't recognize their national musical instrument?  ;)
I do play guitar, but that's not what's in the picture.... It has steel strings, however... ;D
