Mike/Airhead was awesome. Amazing mind in that guy. Missed his calling; funniest poster to ever grace this or the FW board. I regret I never got to meet him in person.

Doing fine, fellas! Yes, been in MT for 3 years now. Got my first SS check in Aug.  :uhoh Fishing, golfing, and wintering in Texas gulf coast near Corpus Christi in our 5th wheel. Oldest son works at Boeing, youngest just graduated from CMU with biz deg last year, works for Johnson controls.

My wife Laura and I met Mike on the way to SF with my then-16 year oldest son. Met at the cafe below where he lived. As funny in person as he was trolling the boards!

This view never gets old waking up to. Flathead Lake.

Our boys and a spouse just left yesterday after a long week-end.

Hey Rip!
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Looked at that pic of the family and wondered how fast time flies. I still remember your two little tykes crawling around the CAF hangar when you visited. Glad they are doing so well and you're all happy.

Rip, you ought to stop by my new forum to say hello. There's a few people there that you know, and it's not a flame warriors type of place.

Icecreamonmars.com

If anybody there starts to mention anything about a carpeted garage, you just let me know!
