Congrats on great grampa news.

My son married at 42, I am barely a grandma and lots older than you, with a slower tiger. But at least Im better looking. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 12:13:59 PM PST US From: TeamGrumman@AOL.COM Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: AOPA Tiger article --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com In a message dated 11/27/05 4:43:20 AM, res02p3h@verizon.net writes: > Does your Tiger have a T-G cowl, and a Lycon-massaged engine? 152 kts=A0 > in a Tiger is pretty sweet. > Yes, I have the new cowling on the plane. The engine is the original engine with 1200+ hours on it. I did do a top-overhaul with new Lycoming cylinders, bored 10 over, port and polish. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:40:38 PM PST US From: Matt Dralle Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Just A Few More Days Left; Lagging Behind Last Year... --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: Matt Dralle Dear Listers, There are just four more days left of this year's List Fund Raiser!
