This newsletter is, and always will be FREE! Why am I doing this? Probably because I need my head examined!

For the benefit of nameless parties (oh okay, I'll name them: park employees) I'm not selling anything. This is a free service I provide for my fellow fliers because the aforementioned nameless people have a problem with RC want-ads on the field's bulletin board (oh, but hanging posters for gun shows at the shooting range is okay, though... nice double standard).

As always, posting an ad in the Penguin is FREE, but if you'd like to show your appreciation for my efforts here, I will gladly accept a donation of two dollars. This donation is strictly voluntary, but if you want to show your support, it would be appreciated, (and you'll be helping support my bad habits). Make checks payable to Robert Osorio.

YOU GOT SCREWED!

Yes, this is a thin issue. I’m VERY busy at work right now and I was running late this month (oh, only a month late...) so I figured I’d at least get this out and update the ads if nothing else. I’ll try to have some more content for you next month.

I’ll leave you with this thought: If the Wright brothers could have foreseen Ugly Sticks, they would’ve just given up the idea of flying as a bad job and gotten on with their lives...

TOP FIVE THINGS TO DO WHILE YOU’RE WAITING FOR EL NIÑO TO STOP SCREWING AROUND WITH THE FLYING WEATHER:

5 - Reinforce the town levy... use all those busted plane fuselages you’ve been saving.

4 - Add another coat of epoxy paint to that warbird - heck, it only weighs 2 pounds per coat!

3 - Sandbag the workshop against floods... the hell with the rest of the house!

2 - 50 knot winds? Perfect weather to trim that new Ugly Stick in!

1 - Keep in mind that tornadoes are nature’s way of saying you own too much crap...
