I'm back home, commercial flight is so, well, none life threatening.  no 
wonder it has caught on so :-)  this year's round up had a different flavor 
to it, everything was at ground level,( and don't park in the street!)  I 
don't feel I have much to offer the group yet, but hey, I buy parts, so that 
must help. I definitely got a years worth of ideas to keep me busy.  I very 
much enjoyed talking with everyone and throwing out ideas, even if they were 
bad, just to see where the discussion would lead.  there is always something 
to learn from that format actually.   I would encourage everyone to bring 
pictures to share next year.  I was delighted how much people were looking 
at mine.  it must have taken all of an hour to produce.
    visibly missing this year, in my mind at least, was col. Anderson! 
those couple of days last year, stranded by the weather were so rare in 
these times of  push, push, push.  I still laugh at the scene of all of us 
bouncing around the grocery store in Bell, FL looking for something for 
dinner, ending up after long discussions of whose is best, with frozen pizza 
and ice cream.  it felt like my boy scout days.
    I encourage everyone to try hard next year to make this event.  we all 
need the camaraderie and the encouragement to stay motivated in the right 
direction.
