I'm tryin to get there as quick as I can, but I missed my shuttle at Seattle to Walla Walla, so I got home in the middle of the night, took off and about 6 am got grounded at Salt Lake City for flyin through restricted airspace......they have yet to release my plane. But when they do I'm back in route. So if ya guys see an F-15 tryin to catch a blur, that'll be me.......

You get the new plane or you still got the old one? It's a wonder they didn't shoot you down Then ask questions

If yer flyin now your about a week early! Or maybe just hang out with Tandy for a week?

Naw , he just has a very strong head wind. He's also trying to figure out how to mount that saddle on the fuselage for Jim.
Man what are you doing going over restricted air space? Ya ain't a susposed to do that?

I am not going to be there even tho I signed up for it . I emailed Danny and Nick about a month ago to let them know that. I would very much like to be there and meet you guys but it ain't going to happen. I would like to explain why, and be very truthful about it .....

I'm what you call a workaholic I guess. The last vacation time I took with my family was in August of 1999 ..... Myrtle Beach. I also have three sisters whom I adore. Two of them live out of state .... Wilmington Delaware and Charleston South Carolina....... I have never once took any time off to go visit with them and see their new homes. They come back home several times a year to see me..... but I have never been to see them.

I got to thinking to myself..... how stupid I am. So starting now I am going to get my priorities more in order....my family first, then comes work. I am going to take the family somehwere.... visit a few days with my sisses... maybe play around of golf

After i got them taken care of i will try to attend another get together with you guys..... my apologies but the clock is ticking and I need to get my act together before it's too late....

Y'all have a great time .... and somebody smack cp for me ...

Nick Arrera · May 3, 2008, 07:08 AM

I'm 40 minutes from Wilmington Delaware .. You get there give me a call we'll go chase the little white Pill .. I two was looking forward to this .. maybe next year ..

I had also planned to go, but now cannot afford it. Two days ago, one of my best friends for the past 45 years passed away and made me realize, I need to to spend more time with my family. I also think do to the weather in this part of the country, this is probably not the best time of year to have this.

cproader · May 3, 2008, 11:09 AM

...........are ya serious.......it aint this weekend.......

If that aint the biggest blunder I ever made....

......ya gotta be kiddin me, right...

Good grief......well ok......I would like to apologize to ya guys fer bein such a #$#$#% !!!!.....I am home now, because after bein up all night Thursday and sittin around waitin fer my slappin to end, I just couldn't get there on Friday....the wrong Friday.....

.....and on my way back last night, my mom calls to tell me my dad was in the hospital with an unknown illness. So I am going to be there today with them, and I'll be drawin up plans fer a legal airspace route to see ya guys NEXT WEEK-END !!!!......

So prayers fer my dad, and unlike some of ya, I believe in the power and effectiveness of prayer.....

...I aint namin any names er nothin Jerry....

Yeah that's right. I want you to pray harder than anyone.....

Well once again I feel like a comeplete idiot fer messin up my dates, but I can guarrandamtee ya it is gonna probably happen again at some point......

With the cost of fuel rising so drastically in the past year or so we have all but totally curtailed our little evening and weekend pleasure drives around the countryside.

I can't imagine what a recreational flight half way across the country must cost!

In all honesty, I'm not seeing much humor (for you) in your trip so far - what a bummer.

I have no idea what it costs to violate forbidden air space either.

My prayers are with your dad.

Tandy Reeves · May 3, 2008, 11:26 AM

cp our prayers are with your dad for a quick recovery, for your mom and you to stay strong and by his side. God be with you.

Nick Arrera · May 3, 2008, 02:30 PM

Will say a prayer for your Dad and family CP .. Forget about the cost of gas Bud , I think the air ports charge you a few grand to land there .. Cp , my adoptions papers are in the mail ..

Jon Scanlan · May 3, 2008, 03:09 PM

My prayers also go to your Dad and family also CP

Jon Scanlan · May 3, 2008, 03:13 PM

I don't know what we are going to do with you CP? You go to Japan for a few days and lose a week. Must have been you being crook Talk about me being a day ahead
