Matt, Alan, Steve, Mike, Chet, I will not be making it to Iowa this weekend. Too much going on. My eldest is graduating next weekend. We have something Friday night, baccalaureate on Sunday, and a good friend's son is graduating on Saturday. Many of you have met Shane and Tristan (son) at our charity cuts. Tristan is graduating Saturday.

My splitter is still out of commission but light is at the end of the tunnel. I took the disassembled cylinder to a hydraulic gasket shop in Tulsa. They did not have a kit (or one single gasket in stock) and could not identify the manufacturer of the cylinder. However, they mic'd everything and were able to order all the gaskets needed. The kit should be here tomorrow or Saturday.

Have a good one. Carry on....

Brettl, Doug's cut is this weekend 16 MAY on the W side of Des Moines. Not that far.

I guess I don't remember the B1B operating out of Wichita? What year's was that?

Must have been when they where at McConnell AFB, in reserve service?

McConnell had them '88-'94 (Active Duty) and '94-'03 (Air National Guard). I enlisted in '99 as a crew chief on them.

Awesome Locust Cutter! I would like to catch up with you at a cut.
How about those Radomes <sp?> didn't they fit good!! Brought to you by
the same company that makes bowling balls........

 

[Locust Cutter]

I should be at the SEK GTG in Sept. The radomes weren't bad but R2 was a PITA as were over-wing faring seals, APUs and pulling the buffalo panels when breakers were out... It was nice being able to run the a/c on the ground though in the summertime with the APUs and having frost flakes come out of the vents up front...

 

[Homelite410]

I want an apu to at with!!!! That'd be funnnnnnn!

Living South of town, I generally buy non-alcohol 87 at the gas stations in either Mulvane or Derby that sell it. Or I'll buy 100ll av-gas at one of the airports when I am by one. I wasn't sure it the broadway store had non-E or not but most of the new QTs do. The one at Kellogg and Hillside also does as well.

 

[Homelite410]

Gotta brag a little. Nobody here has met my daughter but she is the reason I am not in Iowa this weekend. She wants to go to ORU in Tulsa, a private, very expensive school. She is very bright. I mean very bright. She has received $48,000 in scholarships from ORU. She received a $24000 scholarship today from the Muskogee Foundation; one of only four at her HS. She received the outstanding mathematician award (only one awarded at her HS out of 270 seniors). She received the outstanding History award (only two awarded at her HS out of 270 seniors). She is on National Honor Society, State Honor Society, and Superintendents Honor Roll. She was the President of 3 different clubs (State Honor Society, Pickle Ball, and something else) so she received a leadership award. On top of that, she lettered 4 yrs in varsity volleyball, and lettered on the tennis team. More than anything, she is an amazing person with a phenomenal heart, and loves the Lord. Needless to say I am proud as can be.

Here she is on prom night. Anybody recognize that baby on the wall in the background?
