Does a wife get to keep her RV?

[Paul Thomas]

but flying formation has got to be more fun.

Congratulation on the engagement.

[TeaSea]

My wife hates flying...

Get's sick everytime she's in the plane....

Thinks it costs way too much....

But, she has ignored the amount I've spent.

Flies with me when she can.

And never complains.

And that's why I love her so much.

Paul,

Add my congrats to you guys too.

I found a girl that told me to sell the 9A I was building and buy the 7A instead because she wanted a plane that would do acro and pull G's!

Thank you God!

I love that girl!

Somehow she has more time in RV's than me though????Seems like she gets offered rides more often than me, wonder why

Must be something in the water lately...

Congrats Paul and Louise. You know, they have a real nice little chapel near the EAA museum... Of course, then your anniversary would always be during Oshkosh.

Thanks everyone! Louise and I are very happy, and even though we expect this to be a long engagement (we are both professionals in different fields that may keep us in different cities for several years), we are blessed with these magnificent time machines known as RV's....we can be together pretty quickly when we find ourselves with a long weekend!

We're talking about a -10 because we think it would be a fun project, and a nice traveling machine. Louise hasn't experienced the fun and joy of building, and I think doing a project together would just be fabulous....we don't need another 7 or 8, a 4 would be a toy, and while I'd love a -3, that's kind of like a guy buying a motorcycle for himself....so a -10 would be a nice machine to have in the hangar someday to do a little traveling. The back seats would give us lots of room for wilderness gear! For now, when we are traveling together, we'll just flip a coin, or take the airplane that is best equipped for the weather we expect....

We've had a little fun hinting around about this on the forums for a couple months, but in truth, I can't imagine finding a better match.....and yes, it was the RV world that brought us together. I am embarrassed to admit that I didn't remember meeting Louise at LOE because of all the folks I was being introduced to...heck, according to her, Ken Krueger walked up just after she did, and of course, I zeroed on on the engineer! OK, so I'm a guy and a geek....

Paul

Absolutely true!

What are you geek guys thinking???

As a non engineer, I would have gone straight for the girl.

I dated an electrical engineer once, who was also a pilot. If I had known that I would be building an RV, I would have hung on to her. My electrical system would have been much easier to build and I would have had a co-pilot who could trouble shoot electrical problems. Oh well.

Congratulations to both of you.

Congrats to both of you! May you both be VERY happy!

I would like to throw in my congratulations also. I wish you the best in the future!

Congratulations Louise!

Katie had an RV-4 when we married three years ago. She still has it... I think the only way I could get it away from her is to pry it from her cold stiff fingers!
