Just for the halibut, I thought I would take a look at good ol'

rec.aviation, and was heartened to see some names I still recognize! Glad

to see y'all are still here!



Mary and I are now in sunny South Texas, on an island in the Gulf of

Mexico called Mustang Island. We've created an aviation themed hotel here

called Amelia's Landing, and are now flying an experimental 2-seat RV-8A,

having sold our good ol' Pathfinder ("Atlas") last month, after 11 years

of ownership.



If you're interested, check us out he www.AmeliasLanding.com It's

quite a bit nicer here than Iowa! lol



I will pop back to see if anyone is still alive and/or remembers me!



And hello to you!



I see you in place to place online. Went and got wise with all the

homebuilders and got the RV grin, I see. Good on you.



I, on the other hand, am almost 3 months into time sitting in a wheelchair

from a fall off of a roof of a house I was building. Almost killed me,

literally. 8 broken ribs, deflated lung, fused vertebras T3 through T9, and

broken C1 with over 2 months in a halo. Broken pelvis which is what is

keeping me from walking. Lucky to have almost all of the feeling and

movement in all of my extremities, and hope to make a close to full

recovery.



2013 is a year to put behind me, but I am most thankful to not be pushing

up daises.

Holy cow, Jim -- and didn't you already have a really bad back? Ugh.

Glad to hear a full recovery is in the cards. I hope flying is in your future, too!?
