A good story is always welcomed: - How did you get from 1) Sunny Florida to 2) Bigger-then-Life Texas?!

Some pilots sit LOW in the seat; - They're shorter than others. :naner: :doghead: :naner:

Nice looking "mini"! - What's the story on the place with the random oil signs, some kind of park or something?

What a beautiful machine!! :drool:👍:drool:

I need to qualify that "fun" comment, per the remark once of my former flight instructor: - "It's always better to be DOWN here wishing you were up there, than to be UP there wishing you were down here." Here's a pic for starters

I bet she's a gas!! That was mighty game of you to tackle the "tail dragging". I got half-way to a glider's license as a young buck, but then ran out of time and money. That was that. But pretty hard to beat the thrill of flight. It's fun!

Whoa...I missed that Stinson on the first pass: - Sweet! What's the story behind that, like how did you decide on THAT airframe?

I'm guessing you didn't lose any sleep making that decision: - "Hmmm, a commercial standard civilian jeep or a tricked out brute of an M109.....which should it be?"

There's a mighty fine item, and a winch to boot, nice score. What's the stack behind the cab on the driver's side, is that a stanchion for an antennae maybe?

I bet that's beautiful country down there. Cynthia Ann Parker was "saved" by people who thought they were doing her a favor. She spent the rest of her life trying to return to the Comanche. She considered them her real family, where she felt most at home. Her story is pretty amazing. If you...

Maybe you got Comanche blood in you from way back and you're feeling a tug from the old ancestral lands: - That town would be named after Quannah Parker, Cynthia Ann Parker's son, and one of the last of the fighting Comanches. How long has your family been in Texas?!

I'm not a Texan, but welcome anyhow from Virginia.

That's funny, because kind of a similar story with me and my beautiful bride. She's native to Tennessee, from Chattanooga, and came to work in D.C. on the Hill for Senator Howard Baker. She wouldn't cross North of the Potomac and lived in Virginia. I got sweet on her, but lived in Maryland...

You're a good man, but Seabees can be confounding; you just might have been confusing bullheaded-and-stubborn with tough. :naner:

A little side-drift and sorry for the interruption to all you Texans, but One Bee to another, cheers. I was BU; what was your rating? :beer:

You all should lay claim to the birthplace of Sweet Tea ("it's the water"); that would be funny! :mrgreen:

Sweetwater is a really fine name for a town, and especially one where the water sometimes gets a little scarce now and then. Sweetwater; that's great. Is there a story behind the name?

I'm not a Texan, but I do like my refried beans, so anyhow: - Welcome.
