Alex, CanJoy, Chuck, Doug, Charlie, 8Ball, Ben, Bret Mike, Red,

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement, glad to hear that it made someone smile, or stop and think, or something.

So far the posting has resulted in three offers of psychological counseling, and a voice-mail from a divorce lawyer (which I haven't returned yet.) Of course you know that not every one of Paul Simon's songs is entirely autobiographical, right?

It's fun being part of this community!

So this story outlines the reason i deceided that a side by side better fit my mission profile than a tandem. And yet, here i sit at Panera enjoying a crispy apple muffin with my morning joe. Alone. Flew into Mt Hawley, walked.up the hill to Panera. Beautiful clear blue, cold dense smooth air. Couldn't find a copilot.... tragic.

I've always wondered, if anyone has ever met someone in person, who the first time they ever saw each other was when one way flying their plane and saw each other's face from one on the ground and the other in the air.

Many years ago I was flying along the valley next to the Talimena scenic drive in eastern Oklahoma, and saw a family parked at one of the scenic lookout parking places and all their kids started pointing and waving at me. I waved back, and circled back around to make one more pass and all of them waved and smiled back at me. It was one of those magical moments that makes flying so rewarding.

Very nice! but what type of primer did you use...

[RKellogg]

Thanks! ...on the aluminum parts or the fiberglass parts?

Sure was swell.flying in my corner of the.midwest today, after two days of high winds and low klag. Eventually did.find a copilot for a trip around the county...
