I have a story about Springfield, IL. It was back in the day; way before 911 when a lot of the commuter airlines boarded from the same gate. We were going to pickup one of the company jets in maintenance from Springfield, IL. Once airborne from Ohare, we asked the flight attendant when they switched from a turboprop to a jet to Springfield, IL. She said they have always used a jet to Springfield, MO. She had a field day with us when she figured out we were corporate pilots. We should have never kidded the flight attendant about the non-availability of coffee onboard. The worse part was when on the flight back from Springfield, MO to Ohare, the pilot made an announcement over the PA; “for those that have an interest, Springfield MO is off the right side of the airplane.

YOU were infamous. Pre 911 versus post, was like 2020….i solod shortly after. I’ll never forget the sense of suspicion that followed … in airplane so small it would bounce off the biggest building in my city.

I spread some gravel to extend my turnaround and placed the pots approximately where they needed to go.

That looks lovely. I always pick the rocks up with the mower - we've got a few areas on our property that would benefit by that --- choke out the weeds and give a shape to an otherwise 'jungle' area...and give a place for a fire pit.
 
That just looks like someone is not going anywhere soon…. :)

Our village gets 3M granite chips from them for free or next to… last summer they laid tar down then spread the granite. Yep after winter plowing there all in the lawn. Raked 16 5 gallon buckets full today

And the 560 got a bath and de-winterized
 
I’m having the world famous powdered egg breakfast at the cheap motel the VA has for me. I’m selling another 10% of a kidney to pay for my rocks.

Okay I’m here for my first year checkup for kidney surgery a year ago.

Looks like you are the only non-Russian poster today!
Glad you made it home safe & sound and before the next snow storm hits. We're winding down our time here, and will be heading back to MN in a little over a week. Hopefully the snow from the storm coming over the next couple days will be trickling into the lake by then.

Thanks! Yep, seems like I’m the odd one out today Glad to hear you’re wrapping things up and heading back soon fingers crossed the storm isn’t too rough and the snowmelt makes for a peaceful view over the lake.

I know its not the same...about 2015 we went down to Florida -- it was a major splurge, we stayed at the Vinoy hotel in tampa.

Now, I"m not much more than a dude who was raised by by Grandma...and old polish woman who cooked everything from scratch daily, and was more often than not 'helping' her --- and picked up a lot of skills along the way. Eggs being one of them. I have no idea how much butter was used - but the Brunch buffet at the Vinoy had THE BEST eggs I've ever had in my life. Very custardy, and satisfying. Moist. That was a $60 breakfast back then. I want to go back :)

I say this because yours likes like the exact opposite...

Here's to your health...
