A friend just wrote ¡°you¡¯re an inspiration to humanity. It¡¯s been an honor to work with you.¡± It is an honor to share a life with Sid. I saw that sentiment in the faces of those who shared themselves in honoring Sid recently. Thank you. I¡¯m grateful for our FF friends and for the love and respect that Sid and I are able to share every day. Penny

Before I order online, does anyone have a good local spot to pick up a case of 20w50?

Your birthday
Sid, Happy Birthday from me too. If we had known last night we could have sung to you. It would have been dicey if I sung with any volume, because it would have cleared the museum - and Steve would have been left talking to himself. Consider yourself sung to by your many friends - even if it¡¯s just in our minds Dennis

Wednesday lunch at the Hangar!!
Rain or shine it¡¯s lunch on Wednesday at Mark¡¯s and Alex¡¯s Hangar! If we have to issue rubber duckies and/or water wings we¡¯ll be there. P.S. the night before is the EAA meeting where Steve Murray will be going through the resurrection of his RV-10 following the flood in September. Both events will be entertaining and worthy of the pleasure of your company. Bring your own food for lunch on Wednesday. There may be some extras - there usually are. El Capitan - Conquistador del Cielo and janitor

Looking for soil stabilization products - George Heddy.
Matt, Would your brother be willing to give me some advice on my landslide abatement project at my house? I could use some valid advice on storm water drainage solutions. Please send me his contact info if he is willing to help. Thank you. - George Heddy.
