Talking its nice to hear from ..........

you guys on here. i am very fortunate to be able to fly as much as i do. i dont know what i would be doing if i hadnt found aviation to fill my need for a incredible hobby. we are a lucky group to be aviators.
the rv6 has treated me very well. no complaints. at this point it just keeping up with the maintenance and what needs to be replaced next. i am an expert in changing tires now. did a front yesterday. found if you get some extra long coarse threaded bolts to get the tire started together that helps a lot.. enjoy your rv and fly it far. come to turbo rv hotel and spend a night. great place to sit on the dock, relax and talk flying. maybe go for a boat ride.

Reminds me of a good friend that owned a machine shop. One day he got a call from an employee saying, "Boss man, I won't be in to work today as I feel I've got a touch of Leukemia coming on...but I'll be better tomorrow."

Turbo, congratulations. That's awe inspiring. At the rate I fly, it'll only be 63 years before I get to 3800 hours!! I'm almost certainly be dead before then, though

If the past 20 years are any guide I will be exactly 180 years old when I hit 3800 hours.

Those numbers are amazing Turbo. You should be able to get on the OSH program for something like that 4000 hour milestone, shouldn't you?

I did have a sick day yesterday but unfortunately I was having some eye surgery. I'm also in middle of my condition inspection and I'm ready to have my 7A repainted. I couldn't handle my terrible paint job anymore & will be having a real painter do it in the next couple of weeks.
I'll be sure to make it there before you head back up to New England.
