Talking Christmas Loot!

My wife was awesome as usual and purchased this baby for me this year for Christmas:



This thing is way cool!

I actually found a frame to fit it in Knoxville today for a reasonable price. Store was named Michael's.

I was also blessed this year with assistance on my final avionics package order that I received a few weeks ago.


What did you all score with ???

I'll never forget a bike I got for Christmas when I was 10, but I think this may take the cake!

Aerosport Power IO-360B1B.

Should be here in February!

I woke up late this morning (recovery time), and found Tanya in the shop wiping down bench and tool box surfaces with a moist rag. She had already mopped the whole shop floor. Priceless.
