Ya, I'd probably say the same thing. I mean, *having to* fly somewhere
to look at an airplane, have lunch at a favorite spot, commit general
aviation, enjoy a day away from the business...where do I sign up for
stuff like that? :-)


Besides, I only did it so that:

(A) You have a manly low-wing to fly to OSH this year (instead of
another rental "C" product)...

Ah ha! I was suspicious of this aspect of your true intentions. While
the rental "C" planes have been of the nicer variety, the cost has been
a bit much...ok, a way too much. Need to start dumping that kind of
money in to my own private aviation sink hole :-)


(B) I can enjoy all those beers you're going to be buying at Friar
Tuck's!

This aspect was always assumed. Yep, it's just might have to be a
couple pitchers for you and Mary along with as much caffeinated
beverages for the kids. I'll leave enough in the flying budget to
accommodate :-)

Good luck, man. I hope it passes the corrosion checks... I'm keeping
my fingers crossed that the wing spar comes out all shiny and pristine!

Me too! I've seen some of the ugly Cherokee spar corrosion pictures out
there...nasty, very nasty.
