Surfin’: Short Bits

This week, Surfin’ is full of short stuff that is not big enough to be tall stuff.

Helicopter Guys

Steve Robeson, K4YZ, emailed me regarding the last installment of Surfin’ … specifically asking about the Polly’s Pancake Parlor customers who arrived and departed by helicopter.

Steve wrote, “You kinda left the story hangin' about the helicopter and the restaurant...Who were they?  They made an off-field landing just for breakfast?”

We asked the waitress about the helicopter guys and she said they were regular customers and not celebrities. And, yes, they flew in just to have breakfast.

Polly's Presidential Perspective

I wrote about the view of the Presidential Range from Polly's Pancake Parlor in my last installment of Surfin'. Above is a photo of that view.

The peak on the left is Mount Adams, left center is Mount Jefferson, and the big guy on the right is Mount Washington, which is about 50 miles away.

Surfin’: Some Ham With My Pancakes

This week, Surfin’ successfully makes a connection between radio jacks and flapjacks.
