Question Bittersweet present

Well I got a call on Christmas Eve & a buyer wants my Cherokee. In Eight years, she's safely taken us to Osh twice, Sedona & the Grand Canyon, and on a Canadian fishing adventure. Not to mention countless visits to see the kids in college, trips to Branson, MO., and to the DFW area to visit relatives and go to TMS races. She was my first airplane... we logged over 130 Y.E. kids and many more were unlogged. I'm awash in emotion. On one hand I'm turning loose of a trusted old companion. On the other, now I may have the money for a "new" engine and prop for the 7. I'll definetly have some motivation now to get finished and airborne again.

My lovely bride got me an Air to Air Warbirds 2007 calendar signed by Paul Bowen, the photographer.
And a leather A-2 jacket.
She is the best.

Default Stocking stuffers!

7/16" GearWrench
A bunch of #30 and #40 drill bits
A #40 reamer
A travel mug with photos from my RV-7 Web site
...and a Craftsman bottle opener for that post-work session beer!

Sadly there were no hookers under the tree...I guess it'd be too hard to explain to the kids.

RV Santa rocked my xmas:

1) The AeroElectic Connection
2) Kitplanes e-subscription
3) 25' air line
4) DeWalt boom box for the garage
5) and most importantly, enough funding for me to buy the fuse tomorrow....gotta do something at work when no one else is there!
