Hey Dave,
Not much happening here in Texas. Drove my Amphi to work three times this
week hoping for a "lunch on the lake", but schedule just didn't allow that
to work out as much as I had hoped. I think Debra drove her's only once
this past week, however, she was stopped for a light when a stranger in a
car pulls up beside her, hands Debra a picture they took of us with 2
amphi's in the 4th of July parade, talks for a bit, then drives on as the
light turns green. Don't know who they were.... Wierd, huh. Amphi #4 is
still sitting on the trailer since end of August and the van full of her
parts. Been busy traveling all across the country ... Pa, Co, NM to get
any "fun" work done. And to boot, with the FAA restrictions on the
"enhanced" class B airspace, it takes a little more work getting plane off
the back yard runway as I'm under the DFW airspace. Speaking of which, as
for get together locations, DFW is somewhat center east-west wise, south of
center but for a fall or spring season get together, is great weather.
There's at least 5 swimming cars in the area and with major international
airport, wide variety of hotels, area attractions, and quite a few medium
lakes about the size of Celina great for cruising, this could be a good
spot for a get together if people would actually show up. Now that I think
about it, even with that Yankee cold front that blew in dropping us to
about 70, its a great day for a swim. Bye...
