I had. Here in the lower end of the american continent (you know America is not just the U.S.A. ;-)) the temperature rised to almost unbearable and of course, thirst was one of the most important feelings in the last hours of the past millenium as in the first of the present one. I started on friday on a country house,eating "asado" what you may call an argie barbacue, with red wine from Mendoza (ahh Shane you must taste this one!) and several toasts with a neat champagne Navarro-Correas. Of course, I didn't drove that night and relied on Wandita for transportation. We survived. On saturday, the heat was as usual on this time of the season but for a change we visited a novel restaurant here advertised like a "Irish Tavern". Not having visited Ireland -yet- I can't vouch for accuracy, but it looked just like any New York or Boston irish pub I visited. I tasted a Guinness dark beer at a ridiculosly high price, but they are imported and not as easy to get as buds and other american beers that I don't like too much. What the heck it was the last time for that year! Sunday 31st: No alcohol but a toast at 00:00 with champagne along with my family. A warm tought for you guys (and girls) was dedicated. Later, when I visited W. family reunion, I was served a non-alcoholic contraption called "Lemon-fizz".Agh. Water for me, please! Yesterday I had more and more water, since the year started really hot and I spent all afternoon until 8:00 PM hanging about the swimming pool. OT content? Yes, I sanded the innards of the ultra-thick fuselage walls of my Eduard Sopwith Schneider, because something inside me told me that a Sopwith Cook Up was riping out.

The dinner was held in a friend's country house and cooked by our friendly host (wich was quite a sacrifice to agree stand by the grill in such a day). But unlike brazilian meats (wich I tasted repeatedly during vacations some years ago) argie meats are butter-like in softness and have less grease. A different kind of cow, I suppose. But as in a "Churrascaria" we had plenty to choose and even more. Before the ribs we tasted "chorizos", a sort of sausage for grill, and "morcillas" sausages made with blood and spices that I remember that were frown upon when somebody mentioned them here in the list. I forgot to mention, but I had some seafood (how are called those rings that we ate inPensacole, Bob?) to go with my beer on saturday >Did you like Guinness? I had my second Guinees ever , still horrible! A matter of taste, my dear. Wanda likes those watery mexican beers, yuck! >Is that the 1/72 one? I am thinking of doing that for the cook-up >As the 1914 Schneider cup winner, would that be acceptable? Yes it is. Apart for some details that can be improved it is a nice straightforward model, just be careful with the ludicrous flash at the seams wich need to be refined once the fuselage is closed. I guess I have to replace the PE struts, but I'll left these thoughts until I get to do it if I do it before the june ending date. My references are the datafile and an APMA article, bith courtesy of the nicest aussie couple I ever met. But next for me will be the Nieuport 28!

On the plus side, we were getting six calls a night from telemarketers and now don't get any. The down side is that we miss calls from folks passing through, although if you call the local model shops, they can give you my number :). We could have hooked you up with the grand tour of the largest hobby shop in the Quad Cities (my basement) and a nice Italian New Years eve dinner. The down side of the dinner is that you can't move for a couple of hours. Sort of like those snakes that eat a groundhog whole and then can't move for the rest of the day. But it beats the Lutefisk at Christmas on the other side of the family. My birthday is 1 Jan, so my wife bought me a copy of Alcorn's Master Scratchbuilder book. I regretfully have not completed a single model this year, although had I not been lured away from the bench yesterday by my alma mater whupping off on Purdue in the Rose Bowl, I would have.

Since there will be one lower wing left over, depending on the type you build, it could be put to good use on one of the other kits. Thoughts?
