Hey Jay, I get sore even thinking about kick boxing, and it wouldn't be a result of being the kickee, but rather the kicker . In contrast to your weather, we've been in spring-like weather for quite some time, with the temperatures in the 60's most days for the past month. We're even getting some rain, which we needed since we've been in a 100-year drought for the past few years.

Today my friend, Don Douglas, had an article written about him in the Greeley newspaper. I met Don Douglas about 9 years ago out at the airport. He flies the same type of plane as I do and so we hit it off instantly. Now he's helping me to build another one, similar to the LongEZ, except it's a 4-place version known as the Cozy IV. I help him with his computer and various other high tech gizmos like his scanner, printer, and digital camera and he helps me out with my airplane. When I was a kid, I used to see the name "Donald Douglas" in the closing credits for the Flintstones, which was my favorite cartoon. I remember thinking, "That man has two first names that both begin with the letter 'D' ". Little did I know that some 30 years later we'd meet and become good friends. The newspaper had a photographer come over to his house and out to the airport and take lots of pictures for the article, but then published the article with no pictures , so I've included a few pictures of Don here.
