Better Half and I will miss being in the company of many of the best people in this world for another year. Past excuses aside and though those excuses were legitimate this year Better Half and I will be welcoming a new grandchild in early Nov. l realize we could make the celebration but for unmentioned reasons Better Half and I decided no travel 2 months prior to little one’s arrival. Please forgive our absence. Next year every attempt will be made to be in the best company on this planet. Till next year ... nti

If there was a post or discussion of Gov. Abbott’s newly proposed gun legislation, I missed it, but I want to make everyone aware and ask that they sign the petition:

Pecan and or Pumpkin. I have the brisket and or steak or Shrimp Creole. Tell me what you want.

I bought a brisket a few weeks ago and aged it in my fridge and then smoked and cooked it. I age it until the expiration date and then one week more. It really does improve the flavor. It is just me and wife so I can not eat it all so I slice it up and put half in the freezer and ate the rest at home and with my shooting partner next door. I still have a little bit in the freezer. It also makes great burritos.

Thinking about it. What time does it start?

[TheMom]

I received a call from Cherokee Village today, they said that only 4 reservations have been made to date. Beginning Monday they will start taking reservations from the general public. Give them a holler . . .

There’s only three weeks to go until the shoot!!!

I have the brisket others please bring sides. I will also have plates and eating utensils as normal. Looking much forward to seeing the “El Roy Gang” again.

I am a flight instructor again. I did this years ago and our gliding club was short on instructors. The other instructors ganged up on me and in effect said “you will do this again!” I am glad they did. It gives me purpose.

Took my check ride two weeks ago. Two hours after the check ride I was in the back seat of a glider teaching kids how to fly. It is great. I was not worried about the flying test as I have never stopped flying. I was really worried about the oral exam.

The FAA guy was good to me. Since I was an instructor in the past he did not legally need to give me the oral test but he did. He did this to find my weak areas on air law and give me guidance. The FAA guy was a good man. He is also a member of our club and we have frequently flown together. He knew my skills and the check ride was very easy.

It is fun to pass down skills to those that want to fly.

As this is a private club the instructors are paid the grand sum of zero. This is okay as I am now back in the game that I love.

Once again I just received a call from the Cherokee Village guy. He was in kind of a panic because there are so few reservations made for that weekend. I told him I’d once again put it out here and ask you guys to get off your butts and make those reservations. He’s really hurting because he has turned down several groups for that sane weekend.

*To those few who have reserved a house/cottage/room ~ thank you!*

[TheMom]

Looks like I’ll be able to make the shoot after all. WHOOP!!!

[TheMom]

One more week ~YIPPEE!~ ping.
