We decided to celebrate National Paper Airplane Day at the lumberyard, but its not going as planned…
-Heather& Nicole were disqualified for cheating after using high-end showroom samples for better aerodynamics.
-Andrew designed a plane with "optimal weight distribution," but he’s still staring at a single piece of paper, intensely debating the drag coefficient of printer paper vs. parchment.
-Jacie spent three hours folding a stealth bomber, only for it to immediately crash into the ceiling fan.
-Chad has been repeatedly reminded not to throw his airplanes at the fireplaces.
-Chuq refuses to launch his plane until he can accurately calculate the wind shear off the Illinois River.
-Everyone must wear safety goggles now, because Kristin is “accidentally” hitting people in the eye when she throws her airplane.
-Chris & Marty test launched a heavy-duty cardboard glider in the warehouse, piloted by Sam. It immediately nosedived directly into Craig’s forklift.
-Joe just crumpled his paper into a ball and threw it across the office.
-Jen is currently running an illegal betting pool from the breakroom, arguing the point spread should not be adjusted because of the ceiling fans.
-Amy is running air traffic control, which mostly just consists of her yelling at everyone to get back to work.

We’ve been around long enough to remember when “cordless tools” were just regular tools because nobody had electricity yet.
Thank you for supporting a local business that’s been helping build the Illinois Valley one project at a time since 1848.
