Happy Hour! We had a good time visiting and trying out new recipes for snacks. Good ones. It was nice to get the group together for the hour or so each evening at 4.

this is the inside of a boat.

You have to see the next picture to see the finished product. We visited the home of the original catamaran boat. Splendor Boats. And we watched the fiberglass process. The owner stated that their product was one of the few that put the foam insulation in the hull of the boats. He stated he developed the catamaran style The boats are customed made for each individual. He does not use a dealer. You come to him to plan your boat. Now his grandchildren run the plant.

The owner of the Splendor Boats talking to us, standing on one of his boats. 28 feet is the longest they make. We were able to get in the boats on the showroom floor and see the fine craftsmanship.

The young man with his back to you is one of the grandson's of the owner. He asked if we had any questions. Yes, where does that piece you are working on fit in a boat. He smiled and said. "We diversify, so that we keep busy year around. This piece is the housing for a fan that will go into a large chicken coop. We were at Silver Lake, near Mentone, which is the egg capital. Interesting.

A bell helicopter. We visited the Lawrence D. Bell Aircraft Museum, in Mentone, IN. This is a helicopter that had been used in one of the "wars" Mr. Bell was born in Mentone and altho his family moved to California he did not forget his home town. There is a library that he funded and then he had his memorabilia

sent to Mentone for the town to have a museum.

Looking at the helicopter.

This power cement wheel barrow. Mr Bell developed this to make it more efficient to pour the runways when building airports. Very Useful. This one was found in California and brought to Mentone and restored. Two weeks later, they found one in North Webster, not far away. Now they have two!

The famous egg in Mentone. The largest egg, what about the hen? Just a few of the pictures of an interesting rally.
