We spent a beautiful week with my son Mike and daughter-in-law Cindy at their ranch including a real Texas BBQ with ribs and brisket. They recently installed a beautiful swimming pool on their property, actually fancy enough to call it a Spa. Did you know that car gas in that part of Texas is below two dollars a gallon? Guess what, Mike and I gathered up some gasoline cans, filled them with gas at a $1.95 a gallon and filled the tanks of old 8840X. At that price you can almost fly for free!! And on Thursday we were back on a heading of 300° to good old 2V2. Flying sure beats driving!! 54 Cessna Pilots Association -January 2016
