Well, just a little note to let you know what is going on with Iron Jack. It sits lonely in Cocoa, Fl while Jean and I continue to hold garage sales and pare down on life's accumulation of goods. We have had garage sales for the last 3 weekends and because we made the mistake of scheduling one on Memorial Day weekend we find it necessary to have another one. Everyone who might have been a buyer must have been at the lake, the ocean, the mountain or in their backyard with the BBQ grill going full blast. Hopefully NEXT weekend will see a lot less STUFF in the hangar.
Jeanne has sold her small cabin and has a sure thing on the sale of her home. Unfortunately my deal on my little airstrip has had a little fallout as the potiential buyer and his wife had a LITTLE trouble when they came and crash landed on the property to the north of mine. Really and totally destroyed the classic straight tail C-172. The good news is that for all the damage to the plane there were only very minor injuries, a large bruise on the wife's left forearm along with a small scratch, the husband was even luckier with 2 small scratches on his right hand. They are a nice couple and I do hope they continue flying. Now they have the excuse to get a little faster plane.
My brother, Fred is still checking on and keeping the boat clean and useable at the dock, while I keep making lists of equipment and plans to update the wiring and equipment. Following the weather on the laptop I see that Cocoa is at least 5 to 10 degrees cooler than Dallas. Hopefully we can get the airstrip sold and get to Florida by July. It's only May and Texas is in a heat wave--yuck. At least Cocoa will have a little onshore breeze to make it seem a little cooler. Enough to this for now, see ya later.
