I called them about that idea and they had issues!
hehe!
Seems to be something about false advertising.

Jeremy,

It was great sharing space with you and SuperDave. By the way, your painting skill is sick as is your constant positive attitude. You guys were on point with the engine tech. Dave's plane had a whole pit crew. That was awesome to see. I would have believed I would be done with problems like that but you all persevered.

Good show!

Next year we will have to get a bigger cooler for you to graze out of.

Twiz,

Great meeting you and Dave, the entire process with Dave's motor was never ending. There was never a point of "giving up"...it was only, "what have we tried and what do we do next..."

This week was one to remember, and I look forward to hanging out with you guys next year...I might even be competing

We have the regionals in Vegas the weekend after next and that's the end of the season. After that, hopefully I can get back to my golf game! Todd will move up to Intermediate and who knows, I may even give Basic a try with my Yak! There's something not right about having to ask my 12 year old for help and tips about flying IMAC!

All the best.
Dan

I know how you feel Dan. There is something not right about giving Todd advice and mental preparation only to have him hand me my A$$ on a plate in the standings! Seriously, Todd is awesome, I really enjoy flying with him.

Twiz,

I need one of those "Peewee's playhouse" coolers that I can pull a 6 ft sub out of. As much contraversy that exists over the BLT cookoff, there is noone more qualified than myself. I eat 8 times a day!

Mike,

It's always fun to see you and fly together. I guess we are both retiring our 2.6M planes after this season. They certainly served us well!

Spike,
Let me know if you are actually going to get a cooler to bring your own lunch to the field. I can reduce my monthly food budget by not including a lunch for you. Maybe I can buy a new plane with the savings!
