Thanks EZ. It was a 10 A++ at Bishop, Chicken Strip, and Kern Valley. Had a good airplane BS session with 701pilot and 172heavy, good guys. 701/Rick has put me up in his guest house, SWEET! Thanks Rick.

No, I would not do that to my wife, she is a great gal! I am here playing in the sun and she is at home teaching school and paying for my health insurance. In the rain, cold, and clouds.

I would be a damn fool! to throw that that away and lose my M7 too. For what a few minutes of pleasure? Not this guy.

We were at the gun store.

Good day

Looks like you're having an awesome time! Glad the Wx is co-operating with you. It was damn near 70 here yesterday!

Don

Rob, weren't you dodging a big snow storm about this time last year, trying to get to Austin?

I had the dates and times mixed up

BTW, 58Skylane is the man. He hooked me up with pit passes at the Anaheim Supercross. Thanks Pat.

No problem. That's the least I can do for you, Zane! The pits were crazy! And we never made it over to K-Dubs. I went by a few times, but never saw him.

Good on you guys! Living the dream.

Tomorrow going to fly out to Blythe then south along the Colorado River to Yuma to meet up with Rob for lunch and airplane talk. cublite might go as co pilot.

Cheers

If you are going to Blythe, be sure and check out a few interesting spots along the way:

Chiriaco Summit Airport, with the General Patton museum about a two minute walk from the airport. You'll see the armor and field artillery parked in front of the museum next to the gas station.

Ford Dry Lake Bed, just before you get to Blythe, the highway runs right past it.

Desert Center Airport, once the main base for Patton's training operations before he went out after Rommel.

On the way back to UDD, veer south a little and check out the two or three little airports out by Ocotillo Wells and Borrego Springs. Never been there myself but I've heard they're neat, out of the way places. If you keep going west from Borrego you can visit Warner Springs glider port and learn how to fly

Hey you guys look like twin brothers from different mothers

Brother from another mother. As Dr. Savage used to say.

Sometimes it good to be old and retired. From Palm Desert Ca. Getting the body ready to fly the Colorado River down to Yuma Az. today. Coffee, check. Hot tub, check. Sunglasses, check. Call wingman, check. Jack Daniels, check. Oops that last one is for later.

Cheers

Be carefull down there in Yuma, that guy can be a bad influence.
