Default For my RV, Santa brought me....

The debris of another wonderful Christmas morning liters the living room floor. We've had our coffee and Blueberry Buckle. I sort through my trove of building related gifts and find a new Perma-Grit block (smaller size), Torx driver set. A new set of scissors for cutting fiberglass and various deburring wheels and other gizmos.

I peeked in the garage and what I really wanted I didn't get. My RV is still in pieces.

Gil,
To get the best stockings from Santa you absolutely have to have a flying RV.
Look what I got.

I tracked Santa using FF weather brief. Do you see where he went and when?





I was right there. The best stocking ever with top items inside. All RV stuff including Vans calendar.







It took me couple hours to catch him but... man, was I satisfied. He even fed me great dinner I could barely breath... Hauling gifts back home








Get that RV done asap.

Default For Christmas Santa gave me ...

Christmas Eve dawned clear and crisp. What a blessing after we received over four inches of rain in two days!

The grass strip was solid enough for me to go flying.

My five year-old son and I went for a short flight to give Mamma some free time.

We flew around a little bit before he asked if we could go to Greenville Downtown (KGMU) so he could play on their playground. That lasted about 10 minutes due to the cold wind before we loaded backup, took off, circled his school, and went home. Total flight time .7 hours + a life time of memories!



Christmas day was an exact repeat of the 24th, weather wise, anyway. I did make it out late in the day just to cruise the mountains a little bit.
