I spoke at a professional organization in Atlanta last week. Angie and I took the S2000. It was nice driving around with the top down after dark. We went flying today.

Ultralight aircraft, used ultralights for sale. I went for a great ultralight airplane ride the other night. John's Dad, Mel took me up for about 20 minutes or so. It was great.

One of the springs broke on the garage door this week. I found replacement springs (wholesale) replaced them and was testing the door and the whole mess just exploded. It was a humbling experience. I could not fix it by myself. I had to call a professional. The new 1/2 bath laundry room is finally nearing completion. I think I have been working on it for about 8 months. I am ready to move on to another project already.
