Low, slow and illimitable.

Vance- Malapropism? There's another word for me to look up . Thank God I am amphibious and can use the dictionary with either hand. My left hand isn't as nimble, but I can usually open up a dictionary in the general vasectomy of where the word Is that I am looking for. Stan
 
Sorry Vance my bad. Perhaps impertinent is a bad choice is this case.

Perhaps the following will help me out of this one.

Main Entry: smart

Part of Speech: adjective

Definition: intelligent

Synonyms: acute, adept, agile, alert, apt, astute, bold, brainy, bright, brilliant, brisk, canny, clever, crafty, effective, eggheaded, fresh, genius, good, impertinent, ingenious, keen, knowing, long-haired, nervy, nimble, on the ball, pert, pointed, quick, quick-witted, ready, resourceful, sassy, sharp, shrewd, skull, slick*, whiz*, wise

I will try to stay on my level and do better. Time for some English 101 on my part.
 
Nicely done Stan.

Nicely done Stan.

My favorite malapropism is “I you goen to be impotent you haf to look impotent.” From the Amos and Andy radio show.

Words can be very confusing Jeff.

For me Impertinence has always carried with it a connotation of bad manners and you have always seemed the antithesis of someone with bad manners and incapable of impertinence.

That is quite the thesaurus, where did you find it?

We are leaving Deming, New Mexico.

We would have loved to see Rocky but we are trying to make some distance today so we can encounter our weather challenges with time as a resource. We have not yet decided where to turn north.

We are driving a Chevrolet Traverse packed to the roof with our booth and materials for the show.

So far it has been lovely although we missed Jim Mayfield in Avondale due to a previous commitment and we sailed right by the Pima Air Museum.

Thank you, Vance
 
Sorry will miss you

Sorry will miss you

Vance and Ed, I fly into LA on the 6th and was hopeing to drive up for a chat and visit but your not going to be home, buggar.
It makes me feel like you planed to avoid me :sad:

When do you get back home?

Graeme.
 
Visited the Memorial.

Visited the Memorial.

Hello Graeme,

With no weather problems and no stops we would be home on the February 10th, more likely would be the 11th or 12th.

We usually stop along the way to visit friends and take in the sights. It all depends on the weather.

I am sorry to have missed your arivial.

The weather man thinks there will be a foot of snow on Wednesday so we are trying to make time while the weather is nice.

We stopped at the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial of the Permian Basin in Midland, Texas that had a remarkable life-size bronze of three soldiers and a Bell UH-1 helicopter on a stick.

Two Hundred Twenty five men from the Permian Basin were lost in the conflict.

It is always the impetus for quiet reflection as I read the names of those who didn’t get any older.

The Confederate Air force museum next door was closed on Sunday.

We are in Greenville, Texas tonight, we hope to make Dayton, Ohio by tomorrow night and spend Tuesday at the National Museum of the United States Air Force before we go to our hotel in Cincinnati. We are going to set up Friday and the show is Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

We love traveling this great country by automobile and we feel it will be even more pleasurable by Autogiro.

I have probably driven or ridden across the country more than one hundred times. This is number four for Ed.

Thank you, Vance

I vividly remember my first flight from Newark to Burbank. The weather was clear all the way and my admiration for those first wagon train pioneers took a quantum leap up. It is a vast and beautiful land.

To drift slowly across it as the barnstormers did is quiet a dream to have, and aspire to. Chris's flight I would imagine was somewhat constrained by time. To be completely unfettered however, wander where the mood takes will be a wonderful thing to experience.

Sorry to have missed you two. My working a twelve hour shift today didn't count.

And yes the weatherman is predicting gloom and doom, so get through as much territory as you can, while you can. We'll catch you next time you're through this way.
 
Illimitable Wanderings!

Illimitable Wanderings!

Nicely put Leigh,

I feel that illimitable wandering in an Autogiro with Ed may engender a great adventure.

Thank you Rocky, it sounds like it wouldn’t have worked out anyway. We hope to be back through around the ninth depending on the weather. I will give you a call if our end might work.

If the storm is not too bad we will take a more northern route.

We made it to Dayton at 12:40 and we had some rain and ice but the only snow we saw was already on the ground.

Ed nearly took a header on the ice in the motel parking lot.

The story is the storm will hit tomorrow night.

I will give Rick a call tomorrow in the hopes he will join us at the museum.

I am looking forward to a nice visit if I can stay awake.

Goodnight, Vance
 
That worked out well!

That worked out well!

We were up early and called Rick and left a message.

We went out to the car and it was covered with Ice. I used the coffee maker pot to wash it off with warm water.

We slipped and slid over to the National Museum of the United States Air Force and it was closed for weather.

Our Chevrolet Traverse is doing very well in the icy conditions.

We stopped off at an AutoZone and got 50% off on an ice scraper and windshield washer fluid.

We headed over to my Friend Gary’s Harley Davidson Shop and it was closed.

Gary pulled up next to us in the parking lot and he suggested we head south for better weather so we called up our friend Dan Regan and met him at the Fulton Airport where we flew hangars, admired his sail plane, told old motorcycle stories, tales of Dan’s trip to Alaska and his very fortunate discovery of a mechanical challenge. We had lunch and generally had a lovely time.

Ed admired Dan’s rubber chickens and he generously gave one to her.

We are staying at the very difficult to find Super 8 for a very reasonable price about an hour south of Dayton. We will try for the museum again tomorrow.

Hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow. It is supposed to be sunny on Thursday.

Thank you, Vance
