I think I was at St. Augustine a couple of weeks ago and most of the Spruce
Creek gang up there for breakfast. I was wondering if there was an air show
planned until someone told me the real story. Too bad no one called ahead,
I think your gang pretty much overwhelmed the lady who was single handed in
running the restaurant!

Actually, we DID call ahead, but they didn't adjust. We do have quite a
collection of aircraft on Saturday mornings for breakfast!

Another haunt is TICO (TIX).

I have been thinking about the drive to the airport lately and how nice

it
would be to live a little closer. I have a brother that is also a pilot

and
he lives about 4 miles from his plane. Mine is more like 25 road miles

away
and requires a half hour drive. That really makes a difference when

you
are working on the plane and remember you left something at home that is
needed for the current job.

This got me curious about the situation that others have. So, how about

it?
How far do you live from your plane and how long do you typically spend
driving to get there?

About 50 feet -- I used to live 50 mile from my plane in the People's
Republik of Kalifornia. That really got old!

We have a asaying that, if you've lived at Spruce Creek and die and go
to heaven, it is just a lateral trensfer.
