Hi Herb,

  The plane is coming along quite well, its mostly me that's the hangup.  Since I retired a few years  ago, finances have been slim pickings, 

and the other problem I'm having is a health issue that I am mostly recovering from.

  My wife an I are making plans right now to move to Florida to a retirement village, where I will go back to work and have some pocket money,

and therefore I should be able to afford the flight training and sundry costs of actually flying the plane.

  As far as the plane goes, it virtually finished, with the exception of firing up the engine and dialing everything in.  In the meantime, for the last few months

I've been working on my GlaStar.  Since I have all the parts on-hand, it doesn't cost me anything to tinker with it and get it closer to being done, too.

  Sure is hard to get much done in this sweltering humidity.  Don't mind the heat, but god does the humidity get me down!!

  Here is my plane out on my front lawn.  Underneath the wing gap cover is my ballistic parachute.  If you look closely, you can see my video game modified 

joystick, complete with the push-to-talk com radio button and the coolie hat for electric trim.  I left the doors off.  Kinda seems dumb to have doors on with this heat.

  Best regards, Herb….and thank for asking!!
