Jim & All,
It just seems like this wasn't meant to happen for me either. My wife 
came home from watching out grandkids the other day not feeling well. 
She's fine now but last night it started on me. Hoping today would be 
better I felt pretty good other than some sniffles. As the weather here 
seem to improve and it looked like I may be able to get thru I took off 
in Gold Rush just before 11:a. I made it to almost the KY line north of 
Nashville when the ceilings got too low. A few holes got me on top only 
to find some cumulus just north in my way. I don't have on board XM 
weather so I decided to come back down and 180 back. Showers to my west 
at that point and a small one to my east made me realize I needed to 
get my speed up and scamper back home to TN14. Gold Rush is back on the 
ground and in my den and I'm happy to be here as well. I guess we to 
will have to wait till next year.
Have some fun up there for us.

Maybe us flyers could find another good weekend before years end to 
meet. What we need is a DOTH place here as well. After all we are fair 
weather folks.
I'm going to include here two pictures of our new runway. These photos 
were taken from my property. We have finally finished the grading of 
the dirt between my 900 feet of green runway and my friends 2700 feet 
TN14. By spring or maybe even before we will have the longest grass 
runway in Tennessee. ;O) Yippee!! Over 4 thousand feet. She's crowned 
and is perfectly level. Other than building Gold Rush this has been one 
of the best projects I've ever been a part of.  (That disclaimer 
protects me from my wife and kids ;o)

Anyway one day I would like to invite you all here for some camping and 
fun. We are right in the middle of the country so it might work out 
well. The hanger / Home is a work in progress.

Best Regards,

Jeff R.
A258 - N128LJ / Gold Rush
