Siouxland Chapter 291    Martin Field, South Sioux City , Nebraska          Nov 2009

Next Meeting will be Sunday, Nov 8 at 2 pm in Grady’s hanger at the Sioux City , IA airport.

By the time you read this your stomach should be back to normal after eating all that left over Halloween candy. Nothing like starting out the Holidays right!!

I sent out an email asking the membership what day would be best for everyone to have our monthly meetings and every one of them said Sunday afternoons would be the best in the winter, so Sunday it will be. We will go back to 2 PM. The only change is that it will be in Grady’s hangar.

Grady has volunteered to cook brats and/or hamburgers for each of our meetings so thanks go out to him for such a great offer. I’m sure most of you know how to get to Grady’s hangar. Go one block past Jetsun to the North and wait for someone to let you into Gate 12. Honk and if no one shows up call my cell @ 490-0324 or Grady’s @ 251-4538.

We will be working on the Jacobs engine getting it ready to restore for the Museum. If you have tools, bring along a few. Socket sets and wrench’s will be needed. We have a lot of rusted nuts and bolts to remove. We can  get the crankcase cleaned and have the cylinders sand blasted. We have our own bead blasting cabinet for the smaller parts. Then we can re-assemble  and paint it up nice. We will start working on the engine around noon and can continue working until the last person is ready to leave.

Please help me to talk Grady into purchasing a large enough air compressor that will run our sand blasting cabinet!!

Enclosed in this newsletter will be a membership form. Please fill it out and mail it in or drop it off at the meeting.

Keep your engine warm this winter
