Huge congrats Steve. Keep us posted on Phase 1. I'm going to have to stop by KHAO and check it out while I'm in Ohio. Sounds kind of like 52F in Texas where DR and the boys play.

Blast it! Missed your next big milestone again!!!  Was hoping to be around when Stan did your inspection, much less the gravity-breaking!
A big congrats Steve. I'm going to have to pop my head in again sometime soon. Just don't let Hersha convince you to do formation in the 9A with him and the gang. He almost did that to me at the VAF Beer Fairy meeting at OSH.
Now go burn off those 40 hours!
