$20 please...going to the lake bed in an hour with wood!

Crap, we're definitely not going to make it. I'm really bummed - I hope everyone has a good time out there! I really want to get out there sometime, so if you do another one this fall, even if it's just a day trip deal, let me know.

I don't know if anyone is out there yet but we are taking off in about 30 minutes. We'll see you guys there!

Just cane back rob....took a bunch of wood out this am with lowrider . Look for the beer and tequila in the bushes behind the wood....

C ya around 10am tomorrow

Akt

Sounds good! Taking off now.

Well... Gump is on injured reserve for today with a back issue. Can't move too well. Dosing up on IBU's and stretching so hopefully tomorrow I can climb in the airplane and make it work. It AIN'T happening today.

Gump

We took a bunch of wood out today...

I will be there in the AM.



Lowrider and his 206 an my 180


Lowrider departing


A quick trip to the reservoir...again we saw a bunch of horses and did some skiing on the lake (where there was water) More places to land here than one could imagine. LOTS OF OPTIONS..This spot just happens to be a favorite. Its called "3 wagons"

Have fun and drink many beers for me. Laying in hospital recovering from surgery on ruptured quadricep tendon. No fly drive or work for 3 months. 1st thing my son asked when he saw me was if we could fly to chicken strip with rob and Brian when I get better.

The thesis can wait till Sunday! Get those tires on and get over there on Saturday! This is pretty much the last large Fly-In Camp for the year AND Kevin made T-Shirts! You wouldn't want to miss out on that!

All right...got the 8.50s on but I'll be out there tomorrow!!

See you tomorrow!

Yuk Buzz!!

Do what they say or you'll be walking like Chester on Gunsmoke. Hope you had a good ortho guy. The quad tendon is a no-joke injury. Bet you can guess how I know.

Find the BEST physical therapy group you can. It takes a lot of the right stuff at the right time to bring it back.

Get well soon! I recommend Lay Z Boy and computer tuned to BCP. Oh and whiskey too.


Cheers...Rob

***HIJACK OVER*** we now return you to your regularly scheduled program.***

Beautiful day! Leaving in 30 minutes.

I think we need to make this bold sooo...

Frequency for the day is: 124.20

Hopefully you've checked that one out and it doesn't belong to any ATC!!!

Just a reminder....Freq and Name!

124.200 "The shot gun shells"

You guys have fun. Since I couldn't even consider going due to work ( losing 66 homes in this area to the big brush fire this summer, I'm real busy on the crane), SO.... I was kinda glad to see the local weather here would have precluded me launching anyway! 25+ mph (90 degrees cross also) and 34 degrees, and supposed to snow some more, slate grey skys etc etc. Have a good one.

Looks like Rob doesn't need a commemorative T-shirt but a commemorative bottle might help wash all those pills down. That table looks like my wife's side of the bathroom.

I have decided not to come. It's killing me too.

My better judgement says the wx although VFR at the moment has all the indications of sucker VFR. The TAFs for getting home are really shaky. 8 hours of flying is a lot for a 1 night camp/party. $470 in gas, all the deferred projects from the shoulder debacle, air races, and AOPA. You get the idea.

Y'all have fun. Here's to wishing I was there.

Cheers...Rob

Looks like those guys are getting some primo wx. High of 66 F, wind 5mph out of the NE, and clear skies.

Absolutely perfect wx here at the house..... 72 degrees, no wind.

That pic is from July. I am well on my way to getting 90-100% back.

Kevin I will buy one of them good looking shirts in large if you have any left.

Gump I thought you would be out there for the party.

My call on our ugly wx was spot on. Fluctuating between MVFR and IFR.


Glad y'all had a sweet day!

Cheers
