Report from Arlington
At Arlington today, the following rah ilk were spotted, foraging amongst the
dry grass and halter tops: Ron "the Red" Waantaja was seated in a custom 3" high lawn chair emblazoned with a Flybaby logo - under Moonraker's wing. He seemed kind of low. John Ousterhout, having spent the night with John Ammeter, showed up a bit late this morning. When asked if he had been treated to more than a few glasses of "Arrogant ******* Ale" replied, "I'm not sure". Robert "O-Ring" Seals was his usual gentlemanly self, smiling and saying a few words to all his many friends. I didn't have the heart to tell him about his fly. and . . . just to be honest . . . Rich S. wore long pants today trying to conceal the fact that he had broken out with heat rash from being up there on Wednesday. I didn't take any pictures today. The only ones I took Wednesday were to show how the weather was. You can see them at: http://www.harbornet.com/folks/shankland/awo1.jpg http://www.harbornet.com/folks/shankland/awo2.jpg http://www.harbornet.com/folks/shankland/awo3.jpg http://www.harbornet.com/folks/shankland/awo4.jpg Rich "Gawd, I itch" S. |

Well, I'll be damned. Every one of them sympathetic characters, likeable, altruistic, and of good repute. I thought it was Wantaaja, however. Are there no scoundrels there? Where's Mickey Via? |

... Rich If you see my son-in-law, Robert Borovec say hello from his Father-in- law. He is probably around the UL he donated to Arlington for display or selling a couple of engines he brought to clean out his garage on Mercer island. Y'all have a good time. Wx in paper looks like it is best in years. Would love to be there and meet some of the group from r.a.h. Big John Point of the sword My time is up for playing with airplanes this week, John. She who must be obeyed hath spoken - tomorrow is the deadline for grass mowing. If I don't, I'll be dead. I also found out this morning that, on Monday, the runway at Port Orchard will be turned into ground up chunks of blacktop. They estimate two weeks before re-asphalting. I'm afeerd that it may turn into two months. I may be able to get off on the grass if I'm solo and low on gas. May have to go up there (after mowing) and practice my short field technique while taking field measurements. Hope I don't have to move to another airport in the interim. Rich |

"Ron Wanttaja" wrote in message
... .. . . And for those asking: It's "W a n t t a j a". Just like it's pronounced. I gots pictures from Arlington, but they're all of Fly Babies.... Ron Wanttaja I have it entered in my spell checker so's I don't misspell it. Unfortunately, it is entered under: Wanttaja Waantaja Wantaaja and several other variations. I apologize for not taking the time to cross check the spelling with my address book entry but, "A rose by any other name. . . " Rich S. |

What with Boeing moving corporate hq to Chicago, and their production to the Van Grunsven "quick build" plant in Malaysia, we can no longer afford to air-condition Washington State. The entire financial climate has undergone drastic changes as well. A new five cent/gallon gas tax is being levied to provide meals on wheels for those commuters who have been gridlocked on the roads for sometimes days at a time. The cost of saving the environment is steadily climbing. Low cost hydroelectric power is but a memory, as we are forced to release all of the spring melt water from the dams to insure the salmon will survive. The pols and greeners have failed to notice that there are so many salmon nowadays the commercial fisherfolk are sometimes giving them away on the dock. Yes, Washington is still a lousy choice for those looking for a place to find a new residence. Unless you are flying a small aircraft, don't even bother to visit. If you will stay away, we'll even send you some complimentary latches. In most cases. ) Rich "I'm allergic to sunshine" S. |

Plus, I also found out how to spell Wanttaja. Sorry, though. I know you want my hitek Hartwell latches, but you can't have them. |
