Do you think A4 would be happy to pilot it (we could use Brinkley as the runway) and what about putting Jimbo in charge of the maintenance crew?

Have a really great holiday and we look forward to seeing you again real soon

The private plane fund is gaining ground what with the few quid that the Lady Mayoress has won in addition to her $30 lottery ticket a few weeks ago. I'm sure that A-4 would be happy to fly a nice, moderately sized, high performance jet but we will have to send him to school for familiarization classes! If we assure him that there is no MB ejection seat on the aircraft I think he'll probably go for the idea like a donkey eating strawberries!!! I'm sure that the fee would only be enough to cover operating costs which might be fairly reasonable!

From what I hear from Jimbo, we could probably used Hillsbourough Trail for a landing strip as I have it on good authority is is flat, straight and has little traffic to impede high speed vehicles!

I think that Jimbo would be wonderful with the maintenance but I only worry about what he will charge us for his time???

We need to SKYPE when we get back home. We miss you guys too much!!!

Regards to you and Hugs & Kisses to the girls!!!

I'D BE PLEASED TO CAPTAIN YOUR BIRD. I do have an issue with piloting something that Jimbo did maintenance on. In lieu of a MB I could get by with just a chute. Brinkley is still my preferred landing strip. Landing to the east is up hill . . . which helps keeping me from running into Bobby & Susie's house . . . . and to the west is an empty lot and the marsh. (they would have to move that big diesel pump that's been parked there forever for me) For each landing and T/O the people that live on Brinkley would have to suspend the Pony Rides they have been giving to people touring the model homes. HEY . . . we could make this work.

Well, we are one-of-a-kind golfers. It takes incredible skill to join our club!

This is getting exciting, now A4 is up for the piloting and Jimbo happy to manage the maintenance.

Maybe he could even fit some solar panels to cut down on fuel costs.

Just a silly question, what's an 'MB' when it is at home?

We could have two landing strips, one for southern Gillylanders and outlanders down Hillsborough and one for Northern Gillylanders down Brinkley and we could always move if the Pony Trips are fully booked in advance.

Glad the donkey's are liking the strawberry's.

Love and kisses from the girls.

Hang on a minute, I haven't entirely lost my marbles, I said Jimbo 'manage' the maintenance, not do it! or if I didn't I meant to.

With his keen eye for small detail there would be nothing overlooked and I would be more than happy to stand half way down Brinkley and wave you intrepid flyers off.

Has anyone heard of any drainage issues in Gilchrist?

There's a storm drain at the bottom of Brinkley on the west side of Dafoe that they have been working on. Other than that, I haven't heard about anything in 209 & 210

That would be a Martin Baker Ejection Seat. It is one of the WILDEST rides you'll ever take.

Thanks A4, we don't have an MB but we have something similar in our home, its called 'Her Ladyships Clip', which comprises of a sharp blow around either the left or the right ear, with either a forehand or backhand, accompanied with an exclamation along the lines of "get up and get something done" which accelerates one very sharply out of the seat one was sitting in.

Did we ought to suggest to Her Ladyship that she will have to fly on all the private Gillyland flights from now on, to administer a 'Clip' when the pilot is not behaving properly or am I getting muddled up with something else and is this a different type of Ejector Seat?

I am only joking, she is a kitten most of the time (except when dealing with The Governor or Jimbo when a firm hand is manditory)

If anyone else is going into Gilchrist please stop by and give us a post...

Musicman Ed and myself have been in Village of Hillsborough since 4/23...but we went to Gilcrest Pool until ours opened mid June.

Welcome home!

What have you heard or seen? Gilchrist is hilly so should be no drainage problem overall.

Great time today for the 24 Gilly golfers who teed off in the Gilly Firecracker Scramble on Pelican Golf Course this morning. A very competitive outing with all six teams ending within 4 shots of each other. The ultimate winners tied at one under par...Bob "A4" Johnson, Jim Pezzanite, Teryl Bishops, Brent Curry, Gale Gayheart, Brian Pease, Donna and Stan Lavender. Deb Bacon won the one putt challenge with her sinking of a 35' putt. Wow! Stan narrowly edge out A4 in the closest to the pin on hole 7. Happy 4th to all!

It's not a good thing to be giving your pilot a "clip" unless you've been taking flight instructions and soloed. It's a long way down.

Dear all,

Just a short note to say 'thank-you' for all the celebrations going on in and around TV today (4th July) to celebrate my Sister-in-law's birthday.

We find it just amazing to hear of all the celebrations going on and wonder just how you all managed to find out it was her 75th birthday today.
