Doohicky Machine

Today's story and sketch "by me" the first thing you see

in the sky is a flying machine just renamed (Doohickey),

previously test flown as the Thingamabob, the Whatchamacallit

and twice as Thingamajig 1 and thingamajig 2, from the "FSU"

special projects division, "Scrapbook or Scrapheap".

It is for advanced aeronautical students to repair and

reconfigure machines that failed, (Crashed during testing),

and find what caused the failure, then rebuild the machine

with best guess upgrades and better chance of the test

pilot surviving another mishap.

Today you see test pilot "JB" in the Doohickey, who was

overheard when he strapped into the deluxe double nylon

strapped low back lawn chair, (If it's a chopper I

can fly it). And so far so good JB has just logged hour

two, and has flown all the way to Arizona for a Mimosa Moon

Pie lunch, (moon pie with orange creamy cheese filling,

served with a glass of Dom Perignon), only available on

Sundays at the Sandbar, but that is a story for another time.

Until then taa ta the Rod Blog
