GremlinX. . you didn't make anyone mad. . if you had been more rude and obnoxious, people would have loved you even more. . .

That's how the Male Bonding thing goes. . you get rude, obnoxious, drunk, pass flatulence, puke your guts out and make a mess, and then all the guys think you are one of them and you are accepted. It's like going through tremendous hardships together . . the "I love you man" touchy feely ideology is the WORST way to be accepted. Be more like Maxx. . . a truly gruesome person, but everyone loves him.

So, stop being a ninny and get your travel plans together. If you don't show up, I will personally come up there and DRAG your butt down to JN. Remember. . I KNOW where you live., . . . . . . .

23 Days! The sod was laid Saturday around the Gazebo. The bath house is well on the way to being completed. New pics have been posted at www.joenall.com .

As of yesterday we have 365 registered pilots.

Just a reminder PLEASE be sure to download the wavier form for everyone in your party to have signed when you arrive at Triple Tree. This will help out at the gate and speed things up.

Any one who would like to help a couple hours at the gate between Wed and Sat please let me know. As most of you know who have been in the past we have a very small core group that host this event. It takes lots of people to volunteer to help us out.

Chris, Suck it up and come on down. If your caller messed you up, just get a new one. Heck it wont be the same without seeing you fish for planes in the tree. j/k

Unsure what day we will be down there. I only have one problem. I am wanting to come down either Sunday afternoon late or Monday EARLY morning. Well if I cant talk my grandparents into leaving either of those days then I am driving down with the trailer and truck and they will come down Tuesday with the motorhome. I just hope I can arrange a way it will all work!!! I have room to sleep in the new trailer!!! By the way my high school let me have that whole week off excused!!!

No, I'm stil waiting on a DA225 to power that plane.

Ya know, the wing cores that came with that had the tube sockets off about 4 degrees and were total junk. Had to get Flying Foam to cut me a new pair. Then there was the removal of the 5 lbs of spotting/glazing putty from the front of the fuselage, and re-laying of the fiberglass in that area to make it smooth and light. All it needs is to finish the paint and cover, and it's ready for a motor and radio.
