I'm sure a lot of the list members would like to see static pictures and action pictures if you've taken any. To post them, go to the photoshare link at the bottom of any Kolb list post and click on that link. It will take you to a page with picture files of all the Matronics list and there will be a link close to the top to enter new pictures. It takes Matt a few days to get them posted sometimes, so be patient if they don't show up right away.

He took me out onto the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday for a day of fishing from his very nice 17 ft center console boat. Little bit of a slow start cause there was no live bait available, then he dug back into his years of experience, and really got us into the fish. Great day, even got sunburned THRU my shirt, tho' the sunblocker did its' job on exposed skin. Ed has finished his FireFly and done a very nice job of it, and is almost finished building his custom trailer. I really like the spring powered back door support mechanism that he designed. Very simple and slick. I think we'll be hearing about another First Flight pretty soon. Thanks much for a great day, Ed. Lar. Do not Archive.
