After a couple of rides in the Yak, today Ads got a seat in something a little slower, chillier, less sophisticated but ultimately just as satisfying - the AgCat, a bi-plane.
It's like wind-in-the-hair motoring, but faster and at higher altitude.
Not a bad payment for a few hours washing down planes, including one of "his" beloved Harvards.
He also had a hand in the Catalina Restoration, which was finally raised last weekend. Very satisfying for the team.
I spent most of last week in bed, made up for it by doing far too much over the last couple of days and have a bit of burning, wriggling and writhing going on tonight. While sleep might be out of the question, blogging isn't.
Being in bed during the day gave me an opportunity to watch a bit of TV, specifically an item on Discovery Channel, Superweapons of the Ancient World about the Claw of Archimedes, in which they built a replica of it and a Roman war galley, thus proving that it could indeed have done as legend suggested.
Clever fuckers, those ancient Greeks.
