The only thing i can't figure out is where they're gonna put the number 3 wire for his landings. After the wild and wooly chase the other day i don't think i saw a drag chute on the back of his golf car and he's gonna have to have something to get his wheels on the deck when he finally gets there.

Inquiring minds want to know....

What Junction 29 cleverly forgot to mention what that He and the Honorable Lady "stole" the cab...they didn't get in a cab that was occupied by a legit driver. The devil is in the details!!!

Made a quick trip over to A-4's hangar late this evening and guess what I found??? The workers have backfilled the plumbing trenches and laid down the vapor barrier. You know what that means don't you??? The concrete, she is a comin'.

One small step for man...one giant leap for the A-4 clan.

Whew! Do you guys think that this crap is easy to make up?????


To the Mayor and the people of Gillyland,

Could we please be considered "Outliers" rather than "Hangers on"?

Thanks

We've been trying to keep up with the goings on since we ventured into the frozen north tundra last week. Sounds as if there is far too much fun being had. Can't believe how much we miss the sunshine, not to mention all those who've checked into the neighborhood since we left. But never fear, we shall return soon. BTW. Did you see the cute way Carol covered our pelicans to protect them from the frost?

Keep up all the good reporting......it brings great hope and comfort to those serving in the trenches of "grand kid land".

Looking good! Imagine what it will look like a week from now. It goes fast but waiting is sooooo hard.

That looks a lot like the surface of Mars. Did you make a wrong turn or landing error?
Or have you been following UK drivers? Someone's reading a map like they're lost!.

Hope you are both keeping up with the kids! I forgot to mention that I brought your basil in last night as well... Everything else is on it's own out there... See you two in a bit and enjoy the snow!

Default 28 Days

Well, it is Feb. 1, 31 degrees in Kennesaw with a windchill well below (and we thought the south was warm!). Just looked at the calendar, we CLOSE in 28 days. OMG, so much to do so little time. My nd neighbor reports the tile guys were there for 10 hours on Wed. Cannot wait to see if it is as beautiful as I imagine?
Looking forward to seeing all of you... And counting days!
