Ken I hope you have a wonderful birthday today! :yes:

Do the kids have anything special planned for you?
 
Thanks, guys. If the weather holds, my little league team has a game tonight. Last year we also played on my birthday, and the guys won 23-11, so I'm hoping for a repeat. But a rainout is also possible.

So I'm just working, shopping for a new airplane and eating Cocoa Krispies all day. Same as usual! :)

So, Ken, are you shopping for an airplane because (as you once told me) you never stop, or are you actually intending on buying another airplane?

Yes.

I bought my airplane right, and even in today's market I'm confident I could get at least as much out of it as I've got in it. On the other side of the coin it's a buyers market on two of the airplanes I'm interested in, Senecas and Barons. My third interest, Malibu, might be a candidate because an STC for a FADEC Cont 550 is really close, and that is a really sweet install that deals elegantly with most of the engine issues that have plagued the piston PA-46s over the years.

I like my Lance, but flying my family flirts with max gross weight these days (kids sure grow up fast!) and I would like to add 30-40 knots if I could. If I can upgrade in any sensible way I will, but just like in real estate you have to buy right. I'm in no hurry.

Happy birthday Ken....

Is there a TBM in your future? Maybe one of those orphan (Dayjet) Eclipse's? AH! The wife got you a Citation Sovereign...
What a wife!
 
Thanks, guys!

Spent my B day at the oceanfront Westin Diplomat in Ft Lauderdale. Played some blackjack and came out $23,000 ahead. Too bad it was play money.
