bushes
Hi Andrew,
It's great to hear you've got back at it! Are you going to be updating
your website again?
My status? Sadly still at 1% due to about 10 false starts due to life.
Just bought into a 1946 Canuck tho (created the not for profit "Heritage
Fun Fliers Inc", so I'm back flying after a 10 year absence. Quite the
motivator! Now that the snag list on the Canuck is gone, I'm about to try
for #11, but this time with the Canuck to spur me onwards, I plan to keep
at it. My website has also been dead for about 10 years too.
Cheers & blue skies,
Pete :)
