Piston Popper Jan '18 Building Session
« on: January 15, 2018, 06:16:09 PM »
 Yesterday was the first "Building Session" get together of 2018 for the Minneapolis Piston Popper club. It's a tradition started something like 6 or 7 years ago with the idea of maintaining some club activity during our arctic freeze months. For this event we meet one Sunday a month at our club meeting site, the EAA hangar at Anoka County Airport in Blaine, MN. We normally get going about 10:00am and this year we'll do January, February, March and April. Most will bring a current project either to do a little work on or maybe just for show and tell. If nothing else is accomplished, it's always a good BS session. Here are a few pics from yesterday.

Sorry I didn't make it. I worked until late Saturday night, got up way too early and just wanted to stay at home and be warm. It never even crossed my mind about the session.
Thank you for the great photos Wayne.

Looking good, Wayne!
