Ok Dave. The 'truth' is, I'm from Red Neck Land.
I am a Red Neck. The name, 'Lovinggood' is pure Red
Neck. Don't believe I'm a red neck? Have you seen
my glider trailer? It ain't no stinkin' Cobra. More
like an intestinal tape worm.

Oh come on Ray, your trailer is fantastic! Redneck chic at its best!
The visual play between the corrugated roofing tin and the smoothness of
the red bondo (well. it will be smooth whenever you get around to
sanding it) is very aesthetically satisfying. Tying all your buckets
and other miscellaneous stuff on the outside of the trailer, leaving
plenty of room for a larger beer cooler inside, was brilliant. And I
thought using split tin washtubs for fenders was a stroke of genius!

It's a small country as well. Just ask an Alaskan.

Indeed, "where are you now?" might be a better question.

Alaska, where you can't drive your car between some of the towns
without putting it on a boat or a train... I'll bet you guys are really
enjoying the flying weather up there about now... haha... Alaska -
big... yes - useful... no - I'm moving out of Texas, and it's killing
me! Well, maybe not. Clovis NM is only about 10 miles out, so I guess I
can stand it. I think one of my employees put it better than I've ever
heard it. He said thet he's glad to be where the natives are proud of
their homeland and heritage, and that you don't get too much of that
anywhere else... I've found that to be true. I've also found that
others just don't get it. Rave on Alaska... most Alaskans are from the
"lower 48" anyway.

I've seen this alleged trailer, and you really shouldn't insult the
tapeworm like that!

Is there a picture somewhere (of the trailer, of course; I know what a
tapeworm looks like)?

That's not my LS1-d in the photos, but an LS1-c. That
glider looks nicer than mine.

Trailer built by John Byrd, according to an entry in
the glider's logbook.

Trailer would look a lot nicer if the owner (me) would
paint it. But on days that are suitable for working
on stripping paint and painting (all to be done outdoors
at the airport because I don't have a garage), those
same suitable days are good enough for flying. Screw
the painting of the trailer, LET'S GO FLY!

The trailer serves its intended purpose, even if it
looks a wee bit funky.

Well, you're obviously mistaken then, arn't you? This is an

No, no, Andre. He's not Dutch, he's American. He's joking.

And they never do put US or USA in. It's like English postage stamps.
They don't say the country because they invented it. We're all their
guests really.

...and you forgot to say Netherlands.
