New Arrivals!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome Miley and Leland

Well our family and extended family has got lots to brag about now. Our second granddaughter was born on the 28th of November. Johnny and Savannah are the proud parents of a brand new 2007 model baby girl. Miley Elizabeth weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce and was 20 inches long. As grandparents we were there to check and make sure all of the features and parts arrived intact. I am proud to say they did! It always amazes me at how small newborns actually are and try to remember all of our kids when they were that small, which I cannot. Birth, yes. Size, no. anyway here are a couple of pics of the grand new arrival.




As you can see everyone seems to be happy with the outcome and in the true spirit of grandparents, we can now spoil them and then send them home!!!! Ashton cannt wait to get home for the holidays to see her new niece.

Also our good friends, extended family members, motorcycle riding buddies, and all-around good guys had their first grandson as well a few days earlier on November 24th Mike and Lisa received a special package named Leland. Leland was, according to the proud grandparents 6 pounds 3 ounces and 18.5 inches long. Here are a couple of pictures of the soon to be spoiled grandchild with the newly annointed grandparents:



You can tell from the pics that neither is very happy at all!!!! It was fun talking to Mike on the phone last night grandpa to grandpa....... Just remember Mike I have seniority. I mean I do have five. Alexis,Tallin, Aiden,Brayden, and now Miley you need to catch up! HEHEHE!

Well that is the news for now and I will endeavor to keep the posts coming at a bit more reasonable and timely rate.

New Post- Stan can stop with the incessant nagging

Ok, so I have not posted in quite awhile now and for that I apologize. Learning all the ropes at AT&T has been quite challenging yet fun. I am finally kinda settled into the new job and it is a lot more fun and less stressful than the previous life. I have also been working at the airport helping do annual inspections on a couple of aircraft. I have been doing that in the evenings, so it has cut into my blogging time. I still have one airplane left to do and am hoping that it will get back together over the weekend. AT&T is in Christmas hours now so that will also take a bit of time but I will try to post something on here more frequently than I was so my blog does not send me emails telling me how I have forgotten it and do not love it anymore. LOL!

Anyway here is a couple of pics of the Mooney Steve and I performed an annual on in its stages of disassembly:




The Mooney, a 1978 M201 is back together and flying around again. It was a straightforward project.
The other aircraft a 1973 Cessna P337 Skymaster is a lot more complicated aircraft and has posed several challenging tasks. Here are some pics of it:






So I guess that is it on the work front I am saving the important entry for next so it pops up on the top of the page!

Update on the NEW Job

Well as you may have noted I have not been posting as often as I was. This is partially because I am in my training phase and have been looking at a computer screen for 6 hours a day. I did luck out though and do not have to go to Detroit on the weekends. I do however, have to go to Indianapolis every Friday for face to face training. I will try to put something up on Saturdays and Sundays for the next couple of weeks. More as it becomes available.

PS: Thanks Stan for the warning on the freudian slippage! ;)
