“CARB HEAT ON” FOR SCENIC SUNDAY IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY OHIO

MINI AIR SHOW AT THE FAIRFIELD COUNTY AIRPORT NEAR LANCASTER,OHIO 5/15/2010

WELL IT IS SATURDAY AND AFTER PLAYING A ROUND OF GOLF AT PINE HILL GOLF COURSE NEAR CARROLL,OHIO I STOPPED BY:

TO TAKE IN THE MINI AIRSHOW. BY THE WAY Carburetor heat is an anti-icing system that preheats the air before it reaches the carburetor piston in powered light aircraft engines to prevent or clear carburetor icing. It consists of a moveable flap which draws hot air into the engine intake.

CLICK ON PHOTO FOR MORE INFORMATION.

NO THAT ISN’T ME DOING THE SKYDIVING BUT IT IS LINDA PLANTING FLOWERS AND WORKING IN THE GARDEN. MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE JUST COME STRAIGHT HOME TO HELP HER, BUT THEN WHAT WOULD I HAVE POSTED FOR SCENIC SUNDAY

 I’M OUTSTANDING IN MY FIELD. THIS PICTURE PROVES IT. AT ANY RATE THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

“GABE’S TREE.”

A SPIRITUAL SUNDAY POST

 MY GRANDSON WILLIAM FRAKER & MR. SCOTT DUBOIS  PLANT “GABE’S TREE.”

“Fort Miami Honors Student With Memorial Tree Planting
BY NANCY GAGNET — MIRROR REPORTER
A pine tree planted along the walk leading to the front doors of Fort Miami Elementary School during the Earth Day Celebration on April 30 will forever be known as Gabe’s Tree.
The tree was planted in memory of 8-year-old Gabriel DuBois, who attended the school before he was diagnosed in December with a rare form of lung cancer. He died on April 26.
“This tree is a symbol of all that he gave to us at Fort Miami and the Maumee community and will remind us that he is among us as he joins Claire and T.J. as protectors of the fort,” said principal Dwight Fertig, referring to former students Claire Rubini and T.J. Croll, who died in 2000.
Second-graders Seth Pasquinelli and William Fraker and Gabe’s father Scott DuBois helped scoop dirt on the tree.”

A FEW YEARS BACK MY GRANDSON WILLIAM SPENT A COUPLE MONTHS IN THE HOSPITAL (BURST APPENDIX). GABE WAS A FREQUENT VISITOR AND EVERY TIME HE WALKED INTO WILLIAMS ROOM THE EXPRESSION ON WILLIAMS FACE CHANGED FROM GRIMACE TO BIG SMILE. THANK YOU GABE AND GOODBYE. 

WILLIAM IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN HE NEEDED ALL THE HELP HE COULD GET.

SPECIAL THANKS TO THE MIRROR NEWSPAPER AND NANCY GAGNET FOR ARTICLE EXCERPT AND PHOTOS.

Colossians 4:7-18
This passage reminds us that God uses people sometimes children in accomplishing of His work.

WILLIAM TODAY:

SOMETIMES GRANDPAS ARE ALLOWED TO EXAGERATE. LOL

THE “KIDS” SAY,”THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.”
