Well, shoot. My brother just scheduled a family lunch in Pittsburg on Saturday. Next time you're up this way, give me a holler. :) Have a good flight. :)

We've always had better, friendlier service at Alpha Air. A friend of ours (no longer with us) started the business. When are you coming up? I could run down and take you out to lunch depending on which day.

Hi Dave! Hi Bill! One of the many things I love about Christmas is connecting and reconnecting with some of my favorite people. :) Bill, we're doing great! Thanks! Both using BasicMed. Tom is still giving flight instruction and keeps talking about retiring from flight instruction. We still have...

So, I flew a Christmas tin full of rum balls to a local neighbor's grass strip yesterday. Looks like the last warm day to fly here for awhile. This year's batch of rum balls was the best ever. I find they taste better if I drink eggnog with rum while making them. :-)

Ted, we hope you and Laurie and the kids come back down again soon. :) Our good friend and airplane mechanic, Zach designed and built the hangar (with our limited help). He lives on a farm with a grass strip just 4 miles down the road. He's going to be building a hangar on his farm in the near...

With our stack doors we had the option of either a trough, or a rail bolted into the concrete.

Ted, there are a few drawbacks to the stack doors. If you have a snow storm and the hangar faces north, a little snow can come in.

Ted, I don't know if you remember seeing them when you were here at the farm...we have Horton Stack doors and just love them. Funny...I noticed them on the Aerostar hangar in the movie "American Made".

Dang. :( I was looking forward to having you in the neighborhood. I talked with one of the Woodfield (MU27) pilots the other day and I think they still have property for sale there. I remember that you didn't like the available hangar. But maybe you could build?

Ohhhhh, that looks good! Funny...I was thinking about this thread while making rum balls yesterday. :)

Bob just now departed KLLU, headed for Gaston's.

Bob and Carol had weather issues and are here at the farm for the night.

Ted, if you all will be driving down I-49, please stop in to see us going to and/or from Gaston's. Our farm/airport is only one mile east of the interstate, between Lamar and Jasper. Tom and I would love to meet your family. :) Perhaps the kids will need a stop to burn off energy. :) Weather...

I loved our flight together. :) The other day I ran across a picture of us getting ready to go up...glad I didn't make you throw up. :)

Congratulations, Ben! Tom said you did well on your first, and your second solo. :) He enjoys flying with you. :)
