annual interruptus

Sorry, Denny -- I feel your pain. Mine starts in March.

Thanks Jay, it's not a real bad pain, more like a 3 year old throwing
a tantrum because he can't have candy for supper...

Anyway, the new teflon engine hoses are on... We re-installed the
radios yesterday... The squawk list is all tick marked... He is going
to test run the engines today and vacuum the floor and wash the
belly... Should be good to go for tomorrow afternoon - cept we are
spoze to have a wind/rain storm......

He has a really nice F model Aztec he is trying to sell me - his Part
135 machine... Ahhh temptation, get thee behind me!

Our Governor, Ms. Granholm, is busily working up a new set of service
taxes for airplane mechanics, hair dressers, doctors, etc., in order
to fund her spending programs now that the auto industry has ceased
being the states cash cow...

Steve has recently laid off his part 135 pilot, his mechanic, and his
two flight instructors, all his planes are up for sale and I suspect
he is 99 & 44/100% of the way to GONE - to Arizona probably.... He
says her new taxes are the last straw...
Along the way, he has lost 20 pounds from having to do everything
himself now...
