Jim & All,
It just seems like this wasn't meant to happen for me either. My wife
came home from watching out grandkids the other day not feeling well.
She's fine now but last night it started on me. Hoping today would be
better I felt pretty good other than some sniffles. As the weather here
seem to improve and it looked like I may be able to get thru I took off
in Gold Rush just before 11:a. I made it to almost the KY line north of
Nashville when the ceilings got too low. A few holes got me on top only
to find some cumulus just north in my way. I don't have on board XM
weather so I decided to come back down and 180 back. Showers to my west
at that point and a small one to my east made me realize I needed to
get my speed up and scamper back home to TN14. Gold Rush is back on the
ground and in my den and I'm happy to be here as well. I guess we to
will have to wait till next year.
Have some fun up there for us.
Maybe us flyers could find another good weekend before years end to
meet. What we need is a DOTH place here as well. After all we are fair
weather folks.
I'm going to include here two pictures of our new runway. These photos
were taken from my property. We have finally finished the grading of
the dirt between my 900 feet of green runway and my friends 2700 feet
TN14. By spring or maybe even before we will have the longest grass
runway in Tennessee. ;O) Yippee!! Over 4 thousand feet. She's crowned
and is perfectly level. Other than building Gold Rush this has been one
of the best projects I've ever been a part of. (That disclaimer
protects me from my wife and kids ;o)
Anyway one day I would like to invite you all here for some camping and
fun. We are right in the middle of the country so it might work out
well. The hanger / Home is a work in progress.
Best Regards,
Jeff R.
A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush
