Yellowbird
Pre-takeoff checklist
I'm getting more and more settled in. Here's the Living Room: A fridge full of Dr. Pepper, a wireless router and laptop, a Sportys air-band scanner piped through an old stereo, a couple of bookcases full of GA mags and books, some pictures on the wall, and my old rocking chair.
Here's a nighttime view, taken before I hung the pictures and fixed the sagging bookcase shelves.
Now, the good news: the old gent from whom I'm still renting a hangar back in IL found someone who wants to rent my old hangar, so after this month, I'm out of that lease.
And the not so good news (maybe): The outfit that I'm renting my current hangar has someone who wants to buy the unit that I am in. (They are in the business of selling hangars, not renting them, but with the economy the way it is, they'll rent one out if there are no buyers. But buyers get first pick over renters.) This time, being in a lease works to my advantage, since they would move me to another vacant unit rather than give me the boot altogether. There are three other vacant units. They all have the same amenities, except that they don't have sealed floors or a view of the runway like I currently have. I could live without the sealed floor (nice as it is, though) but it would be hard to give up the runway view. There is a possibility that they prospective buyer can be talked into taking one of the other vacant units, but he really wants a sealed floor, so he'd have to be willing to put it in on his own dime.
And to wrap up, a nice nighttime shot of Yellowbird

All I have is storage shelves in my hangar and a trash can... and not nice shelves, but those gray metal open ended ones and plastic storage totes. I do plan on finding a way to hang some bulletin boards on the walls though, so I can put up my collection of Sun and Fun and Airventure posters. I do have some room for those over the workbench I have.
