I've had a couple more request about fuel. There is fuel on site at $4.60 gal for the past couple weeks. I have ordered a case of turbine oil from the airport. They usually get BP. It will be probably a dollar a quart above cost. We've got several more commercial tents ordered this year. Where the row of tents in the grass parallel to the runway meet the tents along the taxiway, it will be a little congested as far as trailer parking behind the tents. We will work it out the best we can at that "L" junction. We have a limited number of tables for rent at $5 for the weekend. Some of you have already reserved some. Let me know if you need some.

Thanks for asking. Detached retina in the right eye. No explanation . Doc repaired most of it Saturday morning. Followed up Sunday morning with more repair. Tuesday was small repair hopefully the last. Doc said I should be good. We'll know how I've healed up in about two weeks. Sight seems to be returning a little better each day for the last 2 days. I appreciate the help u and Bob-O gave me Friday , it's good to have friends. It turns out according to the Doc, if I would have loaded my truck by myself, I could have done more damage from the strain. Again, thank you.

Vernom,

Glad to hear your on the mend. I've had my fill of eye problems too... Not fun. I'm getting together my ransom demands for your monster bag of Peanut M&M's you left at Bomber Field. It will be returned to you safely at MAB ( minus a few ) . I think a extra scoop of Ice Cream ( flavor of my choice of course ) at the Saturday night dinner should cover part of it. I'll get back to you with the final draft. See ya soon !!!!


Cheers,

Danno

We know how you abuse captive sweets. If I have to send in a rescue team to relieve the M&Ms, I will, cause I know they won't make it for another 3 weeks.

These fingers haven't played a six string is 30 years. I should pick one back up. Get David Reid to join in. He's gotten into them in the past couple of years.

Time to make ice cream today or tomorrow. Good news is I get to sample the goods, and resample, and resample and etc. putting it that way, maybe there will be some left for the event.

I've had a couple of people ask if we're doing breakfast this year. Bob-O and Dawn and the rest of the breakfast crew will be doing breakfast Fri and Sat mornings. Pancakes, bacon, sausage and eggs. Ready around 8:30 or 9:00 each morning. Buck usually furnishes coffee. Be sure to thank them. They do it for you.

Also, we have 17 commercial tents rented. If you want one let me know now. We're getting tight on room if you want to be next to the taxiway.

Over the past many years, Patricia with Boomerang Jets has donated a kit for us to raffle. We know Boomerang is not around anymore. Many thanks to Patricia and Alan for their many years of support. This year, Barry with Kingtech is helping us with a K140. A perfect size for a lot of jets. Be ready to purchase some raffle tickets and say thanks to him when you see him at MA along with the other vendors who continue to help.

I guess we should probably go ahead and start a fuel money collection for Danno now since he will most likely be leaving all his money in Vicksburg again.

Kevin,

The good news about your prediction is, at least I did pre-registered !!! Win or lose, at least Vernon got his money, But I'm gonna get that back too from him on the spot landing wagers !!! : I'm still holding his monster bag of Peanut M&M's hostage as well.. I sent him a peanut out of one of them to show him I mean business !!!
