Default Just checking in...how's everyone been?

When you do that, drop me a line. I am not too far away from there
and perhaps there is a chance to show you that GA is not THAT bad in
Germany after all...


Hey, GA is wonderful EVERYWHERE. It's just the damned cost of it that
sucks!

:-)

Thanks for the offer, though. I don't know when we'll get back, but
it'll hopefully be in the next two years. (We were hoping to go back
next year, but that's looking less likely since the bottom dropped out
of our economy. It's not a good time to own a hotel, that's for
sure...)

One bright note: A few months ago, it cost over $200 to fill the
"Mighty Grape's" 55 gallon transfer tank full of mogas. Today, after
a flight to Wisconsin, it cost just $98 -- an incredible savings!
Fuel now costs less than half of what it did this summer, which SHOULD
help to revive GA (and, hopefully, or economy).


Good grief.
