    Hey Russ...I have been good...<br /> I've been around I've just been busy <br />on other projects.... Daniel sold my SR back in <br />July. After I had the engine redone it's stoped on <br />me and shut off on climeout... The crank twisted. I <br />believe do to over boost or something. But I <br />had Shane Morris redo the whole entire engine <br />all together and decided to put the plane up for <br />sale. <br />I am towards the end of finishing up a project on a <br />offshore race boat that I am putting back together. <br />It started with a simple project and it has turned into a <br />full blown 100 percent rebuild and I'm also finishing <br />up on a place that I have been building for the <br />last few years in Costa Rica... I have been <br />flying I still out of our airport at least once or twice a <br />week. <br />Have been flying in a Sky Catcher and <br />in a 310. <br />This weekend coming up I plan on taking up <br />the Drifter out for a spin... I do have plans on <br />getting another SR in the next coming months <br />maybe as a project and turn into an LSX but <br />after I finish 1 of these 3 other projects that <br />way I can stay busy and happy...<br />How have you been??? Hope Lou Ann and <br />Youself are doing good and full of blessings...
