I did not find the plane. He may come down later with the controller before the battery in the plane goes dead and fire up the engine so we can hear it. I just went up the street because the pro guy was flying as he usually does early. He said the novice could hear it in our yard, knocked on our door but we were gone on the bikes. He did not want to come in yard without us here. Would not have mattered to me. Scooby would have enjoyed the visit.

Al also adheres to the 5% rule which is applicable in this case.

Halito Mick, Al, Jeff, Chris, Russ, Wooders, Toakers, Lurkers, and any other 'ers out here.
Speaking of planes....we had two C-130's in town for couple days. The were flying over the general area Friday and Saturday. They over flew the Spartan Stadium prior to our first home game. I think that was the only reason they were around this area. Saw them overhead couple times. Fun to watch 'em. Company I retired from made some composite parts for those aircraft. I love aircraft!
Y'all have a good day, and be careful out there. I have seen so many ******** running red lights, I now sit there for 4-5 seconds after the light turns green to wait for these idiots. I cannot believe how many people are out breaking laws and creating havoc. Just watch out for these turds. Lurker out.....

We were cruising along yesterday on US 385 coming out of Channing headed to Amarillo when we came up on traffic. It’s a two lane road, I have my signal on to indicate I am coming to pass when this dude in a gawd awful colored Honda, pulls over in the opposite lane blocking our pass while he negotiates his at about 80. I am RIGHT behind him and when he gets back into our lane of traffic accelerates to about 100 trying to keep us behind him. Not so says the CVO and we ate him up and displaying his IQ as we passed.

You should have seen the surprised look on his face as we breezed on by. He tried to keep up for a while but was at a severe disadvantage as traffic got a little heavier and he could not negotiate the passing zones as quickly as we could. Some people. Kristi asked if I had enough of the testosterone display and I told her it was only a Honda.
