[color=#FF0066]Ken,
Yes, I was very sorry to hear about Mike's passing. I had always hoped to meet him one day. My message on the thread in the Clubhouse is #190 I think. I'm doing well (not flying much...work gets in the way....don't you just hate when that happens.) I slacked off once I stepped down after my second term as club President... (term limits...) I had to devote more time to earning my keep!!! We've got another Night Fly coming up later this month... I'll definitely be there for that, and when the weather starts to cool a tad more, I want to schedule time to spend at the airfield flying. I miss the comaraderie as much as the actual flying!

Bill,
How are things Down Under....???? I see they haven't arrested you yet for anything!!!! Keep that landing strip mowed.... we are still trying to appropriate funds from RCU for the trip down!!!

Foodstick,
I'm like a bad penny!!! I just keep turning up. This hobby is very addictive...as you all know! I love it!!! We've had girls come out to the field and fly...but just like at yours, they quit and move on. I'm hoping that perhaps with all the electric planes now, maybe some will stick around. For me, the smell of glow, gas and jet A reminds me of all the time I spent as I was growing up on boats in the Keys and flying back and forth to the Bahamas. (kinda like the smell of freshly mowed grass....it's a childhood memory thing) And the reason the wife was better than the husband is simple... WE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS...LOL!

We are all still here because there hasn't been a 12 step program invented to cure an R/C addiction!!!!!!
