Mark, show her how an airplane can be part of the d=E9cor.
Here is a picture of my dining room, with my Pietenpol wing when I was
just
getting started on the project. Of course, I was recently divorced and
had
no one to consult with about furniture placement options:
Note the bandsaw sitting in the dining room. Who could object to that?

Hey Tools!
Looks like the Angels of the Air have smiled on me, and I have the truck
and
resources to move the piet project. I load the truck next Monday,and I
am
building a crate to move it in. I expect to unload it into my living
room of
the apartment I am renting in Nashville, and then drive it down soon
after
that. My wife is supportive spouse, but a 15 foot fuse in the living
room is
pushing my luck [Shocked] :D
I have your phone number, and here is mine in TN: 615-487-9784.
Woo Hoo! Many thanks for your kindness, and I look forward to meeting
the
Tennessee contingent of the Piet Fliers :D

Yeah! It's a fine bunch of people! Merry Christmas to all who read this.
I repeat a favorite Christmas line, "Just remember what the REAL Cristmas

Wow, that's great news. Odds of me being there are slim, but someone will and
will get ya hooked up.
Also, my son has been running loads of vanities and granite tops from chatt to
Nashville, coming home empty. May be able to get him to grab it there for you
and bring it back.
By the way, merry Christmas to all! As for this favor, just passing it along...
Have been helped like this many times in the past. I'm currently storing another
Piet project up here in wisconsin as it turns out! It all works out in
the end...
I'll give ya call so we can get a plan to deviate from in motion.

Wow, that's cool. We got a slug of our dc9's back with the merger... Who knows.
Will have to look into that.
We've got "the spirit of delta" our first and employee bought 767 in our museum.
I got to fly it a couple of times.
Really like those sorts of things. Our l1011's were known as puds. Pan am, united
delta. When the wind would kick over the rudder full travel, you could still
see part of the pan am globe painted on them.

How Funny Jack!
Yes, I have thought about the "furniture" idea before, but realized I married a
woman smarter than myself, and she'd catch on pretty fast... We are getting
rid of the couch, so I thought, hey! A cockpit has a seat, we'll just put the
TV where the Radiator would be on a Model A powered piet... Use it for a living
room couch!
The look on her face still keeps me sleeping with one eye open.

Hey Jack,
So, you got to keep the PIET project, the bad saw, old rifle, puny antlers, r
eloading "horn" , two sawhorses and one chair? And of course, the dinning ro
om!
Congratulations on the decor and surviving!

Sometimes you see something that really strikes you, and just a few minutes ago,
I did. I was on Chris Tracy's Westcoastpiet site looking for pictures of the
Aerial biplane and was scrolling down the list of names and tail numbers on
the Photos page when I got to the M's and noticed 'Miscellaneous', which I clicked
on. Two pages of Piet pictures in there, and a builder could do a lot worse
than to spend a rainy afternoon looking at almost any of the pictures on Westcoastpiet
to get ideas on how to do things. Sure, you can start with the ones
that are familiar and are standouts in the fleet, but some of the offbeat
ones are interesting too. "Der Faker Fokker" comes to mind (check out the Texas
Air Museum link on the Photos page).
Then there was the image that caught my attention (see attached). This is the
embodiment of what it means to be a builder, a dreamer, an experimenter. Someone
who has little more than the dream, the beginnings of an airplane, a helper,
and a thin silver strand of a vision holding it all together. This says it
all.

| Subject: | Re: West Coast Piet Project for Sale :( |
Well, an update for any who are following my saga (and if you are, what a sad life
you lead!!)
I got a call today from Tools (AKA Mike) and what a great guy. Ever since I decided
to build a Piet, I have met nothing but great guys and gals. I know other
hobbyists and car clubs, Gun enthusiasts, Ham Radio guys (I am one of those
too), etc... All those mutual interests have great people that participate.
And I am sure they have their fair share of good folks too. But...
I am and have been members of various "hobby" clubs (including Model Airplane clubs
most frequently over many locations) and I have NEVER met as nice and generous
people as I have in the Piet community.
Mike Cuy befriended me once with a DVD, and he knows me not.
Gary Boothe visited me and bought my dinner when I had first ordered my plans (and
still checks in occasionally to see if I am still breathing Piets...AND recently
offered to store my project for me if I couldn't find a suitable solution
when I move...)
Jim Boyer always made me feel important and was a great conversationalist at the
West Coast Piet June gatherings, and ...
Mike and Vic Groah welcomed me to their home and let me sit in their yet to be
finished project when I was just getting excited about the potential build. I
was too fat and large to fit in, but the wooden shoe horn and Vic pushing on
my head got me sucked into the seat long enough for a picture...
And... a man that I met on the first West Coast Piet gathering I attended, Jim
Markle, offered to let me stay at his house as I traversed the country on my first
trip to Nashville when I was relocating... I met him ONCE, and even then
that was not why he offered to let me stay... He was just a member of this list!
Good Lord...
...AND, this list, did a fundraiser for that same Jim when he was going to sell
his project to raise cash... (Good Grief folks: What group does THAT for another
person that many will never meet!!)...
All of these memories (and many more:
Charlie Miller giving my wife her first ride in a Piet and setting the "Hook" for
me ;o) and it was a bumpy, windy day at that!)... AND all the food Charlie
and his beautiful wife provided...,
my friend Jorge in Hanford visiting a few times and sharing with me so many ideas
and hours visiting about my build),
being "inducted" into the Great Waldo Pepper phraseology club by watching a DVD
of the movie given to me by Gary Boothe so I'd understand the inside jokes on
the list, AND, the patience poor Gary had when first meeting me as I babbled
on INCESSANTLY at that free dinner he took me to.. Poor man hasn't recovered yet
from the earful of non-stop talking I did that night...)....
4 years of West Coast Piet gatherings where I met and fellowshipped with MANY a
good person,
Yes, all of these memories are special to me, and at 54 (OMG... Why do I look 76??),
I am glad I can continue to make more memories with this group, as I can
keep my project, thanks to more friends I have yet to meet face to face, but
offering to house my project for me until I can get settled, and even then whenever
I am ready to pick it up.
Now, shouldn't our own FAMILY operate that way?
As we gather this Christmas/Chanukkah season, or whatever you celebrate, I hope
you remember that THIS group, is different.
Different than most people that you will pass walking down the street, who look
down and don't say hi,
>From a Civic Club like Rotary/kiwanis that gathers once a week and fines each
other for various newsworthy activities,
Different than various hobby clubs that meet and share ideas and techniques
Piet People are seemingly joined by a project, values and time that ties them somehow
to 1930. A time when people were neighborly, trusting and helpful.
Somehow, inconceivably, the elements of the project attracts the person who seems
to resonate with the era of Americana values: to help others when others need
help--- Remember the stories of Bernard Pietenpol himself leaving gas in the
plane's tank so he could fly others to get help if needed in an emergency---
Seems that sentiment follows the set of plans... or.. somehow those people are
attracted to the plane itself.
It's a mystery that will continue to follow the future generations of Piet builders.
Merry Christmas.
Mark
