After dreaming and lurking around this site for around a year or so and convincing my girlfriend of seven years, Jane (pretty much my wife) that this was a good thing to do, we made the plunge. We picked up the empennage from Van's on December 11th and headed south with the tail-kit in tow!
A little about me:
I'm a 300 hour instrument and commercially rated pilot, avid beer brewer, and surfer. I have an electronics background from six years of submarine service in the Navy, plus years of construction experience.
A little about Jane:
She is a retired general surgeon with an amazingly big heart. Her passion is saving animals. She volunteers at our local animal shelter 3 days a week walking 10 dogs a half mile each! She also does a lot with Mercy For Animals charity as well.
Pilots 'n Paws is in our future, big time.
Our very fortunate situation:
We have a small farm that feeds us and two other families which includes chickens for eggs, turkeys for meat, goats for milk and cheese, and a big greenhouse for vegetables. We work a lot, just not for anybody else.
So, this is my new job. Eight hours a day, five days a week, in the shop with the plane. So darn lucky.
Thank you all in advance for the assistance I will surely need!!!!
