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.

Sad to hear.
I blame the 13 in the year for your accident and look forward to your
full recovery

Thanks.

I do have a whole new respect for people in wheelchairs, and the absurdity
of not building fully in compliance with the American Disabilities Act.
There are loads of things out in the community that limit the possibilities
of wheelchair bound people.

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!?

Yep, I hope. I was completely off all of the meds that kept me from holding
a medical, until the latest fall. I have to recover and catch up on a few
things, then the flying can commence!

Just about :-)

I knew you'd gone to Texas some time ago (some friends in Texas mentioned
it). When I lived in Texas, Mustang Beach was a reasonably popular
destination for us.

Hi Jay and Mary and all of the old school here on rec.aviation.

I have been lurking out here for years and dreaming about getting to your hotel in Iowa. Now that you are here in Texas with me. I am going to make that dream come through next summer! Its only about six hours drive time from me in Houston.

I have always Marveled at the work and vision you and Mary have had. Thanks for the memories!
