July 2003

Rex has put a request on the Net for donations for the tractor, and as everyone does not read the Net, I hope this might help us get enough donations to buy a new tractor. Treat has found us one, "A Ford" that has very little use and is considered by the experts as a bargain. The two we have are on there last legs, the major mower will need at least two thousand five-hundred spent on it just to keep it going. And these mowers are old "almost as old as me"! So we do have to replace them. Please help. We need at least $35 from everyone to get the $3000 needed. In order that we do not loose this bargain Billy Owens has stepped forward and he is the last person in this world I would want to let down and I am sure you will feel the same. So would you please send your donation to Krystal Ericcson at 251 Sonoma Valley Circle Orlando 32835. Rex will keep a thermometer on the web of how the fund is doing. At the moment of writing, we have ten percent.

I am off to Arlington on the eighth of July for the Northwest E.A.A. Airshow which I have been a part of since 1994 and say my farewells, I shall miss that part of the country and this show. They are a lesson in how friendly a show can be, without all the bossiness of Oshkosh--a joy to be part of. They have all the other shows to offer including War Birds, and Ultralights are respected and well thought of.

The July meeting will be on the 12th because of July 5th weekend. I hope you all have a great time and be careful of those bloody fireworks. They can be dangerous.

I hope you all saw Kerry Richter and Candise Coleman reporter on Channel Five, flying around the lake in a Searey They are going to build one at the Science Center, which seems to be a great idea.

Our Editor had to go into hospital to get a heart check. When I did the same, I did not come out and they did a quadruple By Pass. I wish her better luck, so for those that say 'em, say one for her, please! Thanks Robbie you're a pal. (She came out with a 100% clear report. Thanks for the prayers--they worked!! --Carolyn)

As I lay on my bed, thinking about you, I feel this strong urge to grab you and squeeze you, because I can't forget last night. You came to me unexpectedly during a balmy and calm night, and what happened in my bed still leaves a tingling sensation in me. You appeared from nowhere and shamelessly, without any reservations, you laid on my naked body... You sensed my indifference, so you applied your hungry mouth to me without any guilt or humiliation, and you drove me near crazy while you drained me. Finally I went to sleep. Today when I woke up, you were gone, I searched for you but to no avail, only the sheets bore witness to last night's events. My body still bears faint marks of your enthusiastic ravishings, making it harderto forget you. Tonight I will remain awake waiting you..You Rotten Mosquito!!
