Wow what a blast browsing through the TBN site. Nearly 500,000 posts and what? - 13,000 + members.

Sure has changed since I used to frequent this place. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I still see some names that I recognise but it looks like many come and go over the years as I have done /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

All is going well over here. My business has gone berserk and with 2 kids it keeps me busy. Never much time for playing on the net anymore.

We haven't had rain for such a long time it must have been 8 months since I hopped on the tractor too /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I have had a new joy in my life this year since purchasing a plane. I got my licence at the start of 2003 and bit the bullet towards the end of last year and ended up with a cessna 172xp.

I guess that 99% of TBN members will be happy with that purchase as it was made in the Good Old U S of A /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

So I guess that toy has superceded the tractor as the toy of choice. It sure goes a lot quicker /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I hope all is well in the TBN world.

Is there any earth shattering news regarding TBN members that I need to know? I'll try and get back and check again soon.

Cheers

All the best to you Neil;

The plane sounds exciting. I always wanted to fly but never seemed to have the extra time/dollars to make it.

Are you using the runway Harv put on the photo of your place??

Don't stay away so long this time!

Neil,
I often wonder what you are doing, you use to be such a regular poster. What do you do with the plane is it just for joy or is it a business tool /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Let's see, if Vin and Neil take off about now they should be able to stop in San Diego California and pick up Leo. And they could all be here in norte tejas the twenty fifth!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hello, Neil. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Did you ever find your boot? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hey Neil! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Good to hear from you again.

Now that your plane has preempted the tractor ( /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif), are you going to try to talk Muhammad into setting up an Airplane Forum ? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif At least that way you'll still keep posting here. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Sorry to hear it's so dry there. I know there are plenty of guys who'd be happy to send you some of the rain they've received. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Don't be a stranger! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Howdy, Neil! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I can sure relate to how life can get in the way of tractorin'. Same thing's happening to me right now, but I don't have anything as cool as a plane in my pile of excuses. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

I keep planninig on making a TBN comeback when/if things settle down again. Hope you'll be doing the same.

Great to hear from you. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

The plane may go faster, but can you slap a FEL or MMM on it? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Welcome back and don't be such a stranger around here! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Thanks to all the well wishers here. Gee I do wish I could spend more time here. The folks are so friendly compared with those on some of the aviation sites I have been to.

In fact the Cessna Pilots Association website looks VERY MUCh like this one. I wonder who got in first /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I think it was Big M .

Yep using plane for work. Unable to justify it otherwise. Have clocked up 100 hours in it since I bought it. It's in for a major service, hence I have time here !!

No - I never found BOTH boots, but did get one back. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That's what I like about TBN, the personal touches !

I would LOVE a runway but alas, not enough room here for that. If only I could paint one on just like Harv did.

Cheers all. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
