Pete, Did you eat breakfast at the Unique Cafe or lunch at the Timber Lane Cafe while you were in town? Both are good. The owner of Timber Lane is a pilot.

Mission Accomplished!

Hmm,
I can see the NTSB report now,
The Experimental Aircraft, over laden with contraband and in clear violation of Federal mandates (illicitly purchased alcohol being transported across state lines) and transporting to potentially underage consumers, crashed after several six packs broke open and impaired the Pilot's...vision....however, only empty containers could be found at the crash site. Van's Aircraft, the manufacturer of the kit stated their aircraft were not specifically designed to carry contraband and they disavow any knowledge therein....
Smokey and the Bandit notwithstanding...

No, but we will be back - 2 cars, and a great new airport building. Cheap gas too!

Actually Pete, that's pretty good. It reflects the complexity and attention to detail that the homebuilder faces, and shows that while we think of ALMOST everything, we miss something once in a while.

In this case, if you are going to keep it as a creative trim detail, maybe they should be polished?
