Amazing landing! Johnson Creek looks to be an amazing place. As one who does most flying in the flatlands, I thought flying in NZ was something else - it still is, but this has its own brand of beauty. One begins to see the additional utility of tailwheel aircraft....

Congratulations!!!

It's 4:58 am - Good morning.....

Grant and I just finished listening to Carol Ann speak at the North Central Section Ninety-Nines dinner this evening. She is a phenomenal speaker - felt my adrenaline go up just listening to her tales of the 2008 flight! I am in awe of her drive and passion for her cause. Purchased books...

Um, yeah, what he said..... Hope you had a great birthday!

Darn - missed the bracket call! But I'm in another group on ESPN, so I can still keep track.

This is something you should definitely do if possible. You indicated that you left in November because you didn't see a way to move up. Just 4 (?) months later, the opportunity is now here.... . Unless the reason for the previous director's leaving is purely a personal one (retirement, moving...

'Brand X' Chili Powder http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/abs-chili-powder-recipe/index.html I like this recipe; no salt in it unless you put it there, and with the blend of flavors, you really don't need it. I find the peppers dried, and purchased a coffee grinder to be used just...

Catching up on many posts... can't believe I've missed this thread.... Thought I'd contribute with the veggie chili recipe I made at Oshkosh last summer. For those who prefer meat, convert by swapping out the veggie crumbles with ground beef. (Yes, I know, some will say 'chili shouldn't...

... or at least a Neo-Pagan..... (note: this post isn't meant to offend anyone, my apologies if it does) In an interesting discussion of differences in religions this evening, I naively entered "what religion should I be?" on Google. The first link took me to...

FWIW, I found census data extremely helpful when doing family geneaology work. The details don't become available for 70 years after the census is taken, and while the ones I researched didn't have income info, information about names, ages, race, occupation etc. helped me find my...

I'd been interested in flying for the Air Force as a kid from all the time we spent living on bases (Dad was a mechanic in the service), but didn't think that they would allow a near-sided girl to become a pilot. Thought and talked about it on and off for years, but didn't do much. Got the...

I'll never tell :blush:.... EdFred: smooth.... very smooth...... thank ye.... For those who're wondering, you'll be happy to know that Grant 'done good' with the b-day dinner and gifts - wonderful Italian food, champagne, cashmere, and gift cert to one of my favorite stores; I feel quite...

Thank you all for your wonderful birthday wishes! I am at work (looking at some pretty cool IFR weather conditions), but have had lots of the makings for a good day so far - - I get to read your messages; - had a couple of my staff folks sneak in my office last night and leave flowers and...

As Grant attested to earlier, he was banished to the guest room for a week when I was diagnosed with shingles a while back. I got the master bedroom, complete with my own bathroom and comfy, loose-fitting flannel jammies :) My case was pretty stealthy - my doctor at the time and I spent well...

Looking for some advice from my fellow POAers on one of my favorite non-aviation topics - dining! :) Our company is having its large annual member conference in Atlanta at the end of September. I will be one of the staff attending, which means long days on one's feet answering questions...

May not always take that much.... Grant and I were in the SUV, stop-and-run traffic on a busy road - everyone knows that this is the pace of this particular road, just stay alert and you'll be OK. We're in 'stop' mode in rush hour... BAM!!! Rear ended by a 16-year old boy who was to busy...

Happy Birthday, Kent!

Actually, it's because he's married to a woman who would have no problem giving him a smack or two upside the head if he tried something like that. Last time I looked, I didn't see the word 'stupid' painted on his forehead :)

Sorry, hon - no live animals on the menu. However, some awesome veggie chili can find its way on the list, along with a more traditional jambalaya for the carnivores.
