Hey, do you get an "employee discount", Ron?

(If we see you at OSH '08 in a Columbia 400, we'll know the answer...)

Hey, Don't get him thinking! He does get a Cessna discount (which we
don't need). He's really not a good Textron employee, we don't fly a
Cessna, we don't have a Lycoming engine, we don't have a Macauley prop,
I won't get off my John Deere. If we ever get the airport property
built we might get an EZ GO (especially if he can get a good price on one).
