I picked up a propeller from a friend in Tennessee on the way home from Gulf Shores. I had it inspected and overhauled here in Michigan, and it looks great (my recent efforts to downsize photos taken with my iPad have been overly frustrating

Thanks Arash. I figured someone would pick up the gauntlet, but would have bet it would have been Ryan. Maybe he's already too busy with the calendar.Aryana wrote:Miles it looked brand new again. Here it is from FB, shrunk down using an app called SimpleResize
(I posted the picture of our newly acquired house from my PC. No problems there.)

Miles everyone, but me, needs a boat to go along with their airplane. Two places to hide all that $$. I guess you get a pass however since you have 2 planes

Frank, I put boats in the same category as wire wheels on cars: I love them as long as they belong to someone else. Karen's cousin has a boat, and we've already agreed to exchange the occasional ride. I already owe him one.

And, according to the previous owner, every drop of water applied to that lawn this summer fell from the sky. No use wearing out a perfectly good well pump if you don't have to!blueldr wrote:Miles,
