Meet in the NE Tie down area 11:30 to 11:50. Enter Restaurant 12 O'Clock High. See you there.

Weather looks good. Any takers.

Re: 4-8-11 Lunch Run Prosser, Wa.

I was planning on heading out around lunchtime myself, meeting up with DCO-65 the Taylorcraft pilot from MMV. I've only got about 2 hours to burn though, otherwise I'd join you on your Prosser excursion. Was thinking of buzzing down to visit Drifter.

Rob,

If the weather turns out to be decent, I might be up for playing hookie on a friday! Wonder what James and George are doing?

George, I'll buy the gas for the RV =D>

The Spokompton weather the last few months has been more like the left side of the state. We have had measurable precip 6.5 out of 10 days for the last three months.

I'll be watching this post to see what you decide. Early afternoon departure time would work better for me.

Re: 4-8-11 Lunch Run Prosser, Wa.

Well, I will be here for sure. May be able to leave work for a while for lunch/swap flying lies. I'll post my cell number on the whiteboard in the pilot's lounge if anyone needs a ride, etc.

Hey Meachamlake it will be good to meet you. Don't have the exact time nailed down yet. Probably 12 O'clock High. I'm thinking the Speedway Cafe.

Re: 4-8-11 Lunch Run Prosser, Wa.

Looks like we can park on the NE Ramp. A gate leeds to the road then 600' east to Wine Country Rd. Turn left restaurant on the right you should see it. Cheers...Rob

Let me help you Chris. This always worked in the fire dept.

Chris: Hi boss I'm sick can't work, put me on sick leave so I get paid. :D

Boss: I'm sorry to hear you don't feel well. I will see you Monday, get well Chris.

Chris: Hey boss you want to fly to lunch with my BCP buddies.

Boss: Yes. You know Chris, I have been thinking you need a raise.

Good day

Re: 4-8-11 Lunch Run Prosser, Wa.

Go directly across the street from the NE gate and parking area, (we call it the restaurant parking) under the cable and into the parking lot, past the motor homes camped there and you will be at the Barn restaurant.
Good home cooking!
Prosser also has the lowest fuel prices in the area.

Must be nice to work for the government, some times any way.

Sounds like any other federal/state employee that deserves a raise.

Sounds like this might turn out to be a great meet up.

Hey that's an excellent plan Rob, and it's always worked well in the past 8-[ unfortunately I'm now the boss :roll: so taking a day off without everything going to hell in a handbasket while I'm gone [-o< can be a bit more problematic, but I think this Friday is looking good if nothing blows up 8)


I have the same problem and share your pain! #-o

Thanks Fishdoc hope you make it, we need to meet. You have a Maule too, don't you?

I am the boss also of the rental house fleet. If their drain gets blocked, well, I'll fix it after lunch. If water is flooding the house or sparks coming out of the wall, I will miss lunch. Dang I hope that don't happen. I guess I could let insurance fix it. [-X

Meet in the NE Tie down area 11:30 to 11:50. Enter Restaurant 12 O'Clock High. See you there.

Cheers...Rob

Let me help you Cliff. This always worked in the fire dept.

Cliff: Hi boss I'm sick can't work, put me on sick leave so I get paid. :D

******************************************************************************************************

Try this one on the wife.

Pilot leaves the house about 10:30 a.m. to do some work and run some errands. On the way out the door he answered his wife's "what time will you be home?" question with "probably about 1:30, I'll have lunch at Wendy's"

1:30 came & went, 3:00 passed, at about 6:00 pm he rolls in the driveway, and begins the apologetic story:

“I finished the errands about 11:30, had lunch, and I started home, when alongside the road I saw this attractive girl with a flat tire on her car. I stopped to help and got the tire changed. I strained my back a little too.

She offered money, but I refused, so she suggested that I at least allow her to buy me a beer, that it might help my back. She said there's a tavern just up the road. I agreed to stop, we had a beer, then another beer, then a couple more, and I realized that this girl was not only pretty, she was very very friendly.

Before I knew it, she was giving me a back rub in the hot tub at the motel next door. And that is why I am so late getting home.”

His wife looked him right in the eye and said "Don't lie to me; you went flying, didn’t you?”

Good day
