Wooden Canoe made with Mark V

[charlese]

Another little story - My son and Grandson were going biking in the Sierras. They left their home in Ventura Co. CA, (elevation low) As they were ascending to their destination, a bag of potato chips in the vehicle exploded! Chips all over the place.

I can remember the days of fountain pens and the blue/black pockets of air travelers that carried the pens with them on a flight. Even in the old DC-6s. When ball point pens came on the scene. That was supposed to be the end of leaky pens. At the time, (1944) I was in the 6th grade and had an ink well on my school desk.

And Chuck, with that ink well, did you dip your quill pen in it? :)

You should have been in the first semi-load of inflated chip bags to be transported over the Rockies!:rolleyes:
