Since the list is so slow right now, I don't feel too bad posting this (slightly
off-topic, but maybe not) post. I had a visit today from another West Coast
builder, Mike Hardaway. He was headed back down I-5 from Portland and stopped
by MFR just before lunch. Like most people on this list, I had emailed back
and forth with Mike and had read his posts to the list but had never met him
face to face. And, like most people on this list, Mike is just good folks. He
saw my hangar junk, saw my projects, saw Scout, and we visited for just a few
minutes because he was facing another 10 hours on the road, with part of that
being the crossing of the Siskiyou Summit at the Oregon-California border.
I could already see that the clouds in that direction were thick, dark, and ominous
so I don't blame him for wanting to make best possible time in daylight.
Mike talked up the West Coast Piet Gathering with enthusiasm, throwing in something
about a chocolate cheesecake just for good measure. Surely he knows that
pilots as a genre don't need a lot of encouragement when it comes to food in
general, and there was no need to pitch the cheesecake too?
As in many instances when I've met other builders and pilots in this group, I end
up being the benefactor. Mike noticed my Honda CX500 project bike in the hangar
and mentioned that he had gotten rid of his two CX500s but still had some
parts and pieces, so he's passing them on to me. This is how we feed one another's
hobbies and pastimes! Thanks for the visit, Mike. Hope you made it home
safely.

Too bad Mike could have stopped by Colusa tomorrow to meet up with a bunch of the
WestCoast Piet folks here to see my work in progress. Gary Boothe, Chris Tracy,
Jim Boyer, Brian Reiger and his dad and others will be here. I wish I had
his email, I would invite him because he may still be around. Let him know, please.
We will meet at the Colusa airport (O08) at 9AM, then to 822 Market Street, then
to 843 Jay Street (my home and shop). Then lunch (chili and corn bread) at the
last address at about 11-12. It's all free, great company, but dessert may
be doubtful!
Don't think Scout could make it here on such short notice! But they are predicting
25-40 MPH north winds, could speed up your flight! You can always stay here
over night, lots of room!
Thanks,
Ray Krause
