Things you need to know...I think

Goodly evening all... :)

You know what I figured out I miss the most living in the city?

My Two Holer with catalogue rack.

Yup...a fella could sit there for a hour and count his blessing, plan his day, even plan his Flight Plan.

Why I would sit for a good hour in the Two Holer at the Flying Club and look at all the new inventions and read those interesting flying articles without a worry in the world.

Last week I asked if I could build a Two Holer overlooking the river at the Condo. 
Found a good spot to, right under a big old maple tree with a good view in several directions and good cross ventilation.

That Board of Directors would not even listen to my proposal.    :P

Did you know back in the old days we used to tow a Two Holer aloft with a rope ladder and it"s own two little wings.
Oh yes...I wouldn't lead you all astray... :P

That is where Co-Pilots came from...those trips back then were long.
One could not just park under a tree like we did on horse back many times.

No way...aeroplanes are different than horses, although they do use horse power.

Well I hear the old girl a coming so I had better leave the Pilot's Lounge before I end up somewhere else, but I am really glad I could help edumacate some of you folks.    :)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Just one question Doug. What do you use now that the Sears catalog doesn't come in the mail anymore? ::)

Hi Larry... :)

We still get several versions of the Sears Catalogue a year in the mail.

What they do here is drop them off in bundles at the condo and we pick one up.
If you order something once a year through the catalogue you always get a catalogue in the mail.

We are just waiting for the Christmas Wish Book from Sears, I love the Toy Section.... ;D

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Live and learn.  ;D
I had no idea it was still published. I have not seen one in years. But then I quit buying from Sears when they closed the local store.
