Well, Doug, I hope no one attending Copper
State flyin holds their breath for my arrival and speech (although I'm
certain the talk would have been breath taking
{:>)).
Actually, the trip does have a certain appeal as I
am currently living in the garage (actually only having breakfast, lunch
and dinner there) as we await the wall to wall remodeling being done to
our kitchen to be completed. But, I don't think it would be very smart on
my part to leave my spouse here to interact with the contractors while I fly off
to the wild west. In fact, I KNOW it would not be smart.
So sadly, it will have to be some other speaker - heck, just
about anybody on the list could probably find a topic of interest - in fact a
very intelligent fellow by name of Doug comes to mind {:>)
Furthermore, one of the things I have learned since "retiring"
in 1999 (for the second time or was it the third) is that had I know how hard
retirement was, I would have kept a job. There is simply not enough time
in the day (not to mention money) to finish all the projects you can get started
on when you retire and think you have all that time.
I discovered that while theoretically a retiree should (and
some do) have gobs of time - that now that you have the time to really get
into things of interest, they can easily eat up all that retiree time. I
seldom get to bed before 1130 and am usually up by 0630 to start my day of
projects.
So don't say I didn't warn you. Oh, and don't turn your
electronic hobby into a small business - that will really shoot retirement
all to heck.
Do I protest too much? Hee Hee

Dale: I'd bet the incomparable Ed
Anderson must be planning to make a super secret surprise visit out
that way.
It's a well known fact (among us who still have to
work), that retirees have so much free time on their hands that their
always ready, willing, and able to knock out a fun cross-country
trip; as long as they get to do it in their rotary powered
RV! :)
