While there...

...my son TJ & I test drove this beautiful Boss 302 that the owner may want to sell. Man! What a ride!! Lots of power, smooth 4-spd and incredible road gripping rigid suspension! 'Makes the CS feel like driving a Bronco in comparison ;-) 'Not sure if I'll buy yet - upon talking with "Uncle Joe", I have alot to learn about the type...

Hey...I was born ready! Up, up and away.....

The knee was pretty sore and swollen after I got home since I did way too much on it while I was there. But I wouldn't trade any part of it for anything! I had a blast!! So many great people and lots of awesome planes! The knee is a bit more swollen after the surgery (thank God for ice), however, the constant pain that I had before surgery is gone right now. I am just taking it easy and letting it heal up.
