I don't remember a tv-show called Green Acres, what is it?
Btw, what building is yours?

It's an old 1960's sitcom Frank... It almost predates me!!

Oh.......kayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy............................     ::silly::

FINALLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE..............................................      ::silly::
 
The cold beer is in the fridge (   ::drinking::  ), and anyone who does a low pass ( I hear all the nieghbors LOVE this.....  a typical weekend conversation seems to include the following:  "Hey, did you see who buzzed us?  Is Chuck in town?")  ---  NO KIDDING on the name...  a guy named Chuck used to live here, and flew a pretty Stearman out of here.......) anyway, if you meet the previous criteria, you get an automatic invite to stay and imbibe!   

One day while staggering up the road with what seemed to be my millionth load of junk, I saw one of the neighbors do the PRETTIEST touchdown..  in an old C-172...  right AT the threshold....  Aw, man!   ::bow::

I vowed then and there, to only try to sneak in here at NIGHT....  I imagine if they ever saw my landings, I'd suddenly be looking for yet ANOTHER place to live.....   

::loony::

C'mon by for a cold one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.  NEVER move yourself.  It makes you yearn for your own funeral.    ;)

Hey S'Mom,
hope youre getting all settled in there at  your new place. Moving is such a pain... really makes you realize how much "junk" you have. Hope you have some time to kick back and relax now. Sounds like you have fun neighbors too. ::wave::

Ha ha, didn't call anyone to help, but NOW....  the "call" will stay out there for any and all to drop by, oops, I mean, drop IN, for a cold one!   ::wave::

It's slowly turning into "home", well, as much of a home as I ever manage....   ;D    Usually that just means somewhere to set down the sixer and prop up my "Low Flying Aircraft" sign.....

Nice to see all the activity in the Coop!!  I'm trying to catch up....   ::type::

 :D

Thank you for the pm, my mom had a good day with me and my brother Michael  ::wave::
I really hope it is a small world in aviation since I'd love to meet you people here, especially as a pilot since you guys/gals must be great to work with  |:)\

You know, I think I found it in FSX (Flight Simulator 10). Btw, is there a big drop-off downhill after one of the ends?
As you can partially see however there aren't any buildings at the strip, but there is a hangar-like building and parkinglot textures a few hundred meters to one side, left-side if looking towards the drop in the runway direction however looking at Google Earth then that seems to be just a random autogen scenery and not authentic building-positions.

Gee, good question Frank...  I've only walked down the road (that parallels the runway) twice so far, and each time it was after sunset, so I am not sure about the drop-off.  I don't recall that, but it was years ago when I got to fly out of here, and that was one time only.  I'll have to investigate!   

It's a pretty day here today, but the wind is blowing hard and it's still in the 30's F.  I may wait until the sun comes around and it warms up a bit!  I still have plenty of unpacking to do indoors. 

I'm so glad your Mom had a special day!  That's great.   :)

Later...  the hangar-mom...   :D

It's to the point where I'm happy when it's above zero  (-20 C).

Although I do have to say, seattle at 40 degrees feels colder than fairbanks at zero, so it could be a case of that if you have humidity.  ;)

Welll-lll-lll, since I was sitting here in my bare feet and tank top, a 30-degree day with a stiff wind seemed COOL enough to me!    ::whistle::

But hey, I'm an Idaho weenie now...  no winters here....  it's been a few years since I was USED to 40 below and 8 feet of snow....  oh yeah, wanna try learning a whole new vocabulary for being cold?  Try living in a tent at tree line in NH....  now THAT will make you appreciate being comfy and warm and cozy.

Gosh, I guess I've bee truly "Californicated" cause I consider anything below 32 degrees (F) as cold--can't even imagine having to be out when it's 40 below  ::loony::

Wow Soccermom! You had told me you were moving, but I did not know you were going to live over a runway! Gorgeous choice! Any free alchool party in sight?!?  ;D ;D :)

I give that landing a 9 . . . on the Richter scale.
