Keep at it Bryan, I’ve always admired your build musings, and in a big way because you do have so many things going on. My life is the same, and my 8-9 year build still has a little while to go. It’s important to me, and it will be a real celebration when it’s “done”…but it’s not the whole thing of life.

For the marriage, this isn’t really the best place to discuss it. But I’ve been down both roads, one lost and one that we saved. Once we got past the terrible part we built our lives back together and Beyer and closer than ever. I would recommend trying to find that path.

Meanwhile, it’s about time to saddle up and ride that bronco. Good luck. Gordon

Sorry to hear about marriage problems. Seems that a lot of us have them at times and find ways to solve them. Great to here you are ready to get your inspection. Hope it goes well and looking forward to your first flight.

So, I've got my airworthiness certificate. Guess I've got to start flying again.

Flight review today. I'll be doing a bunch of time in the school C140, and then getting more C140 and Luscombe time from my hangar neighbors. After I'm proficient, I'll be looking for a little Sonex time. There are a few people within a couple hundred miles of me and I'll reach out. No hard feelings for anyone unable to provide that time.
