Alright you guys keep talking about Cedar Mills. Ive been there and it is
nice. Ive got a new tent that my wife thought I needed for my birthday
that hasnt ever been outa da box. If you can talk Honeck into flying
into 3T0 Ill try and get off work and come down there too. (Im based at
MDF). Jay come on down here and you can explore a stop over for your Grand
Canyon trip. Bring that damn Aeroflash unit Ive been trying to buy from
you that you keep whining about. Anybody else in the North Central Texas,
Oklahoma area interested? We could turn this into a mini Pinkneyville? By
the way we had our Chapter 1115 EAA fly-in at GAG today and I flew 31 "Young
Eagles" myself in thirteen trips. Then I logged another hour and a half
taking some friends up. 7.1 hours in all. 96 deg. f. and rough air and the
kids and parents ate it up. Im pooped though. Think Ill go take a nap.

p.s. Honeck if you make this trip Ill come spend a night at your new hotel
the next time I go to Oshkosh. If you dont show up at 3T0, Ill flour bomb
your hangar as I fly over going to OSH. Hows that for a challenge?
