New Mooney plate.

 

 

 

 

I asked my daughter-in-law if she could make a Mooney plate. This is what she came up with. This is a metal business card size. She has a new laser that she engraves with. They come in different colors and only cost $10. It would also make a good luggage tag. She can put any text on it that you want. Contact information is:  On Facebook search Harper Gray Designs'

Crack Sealer Arrives : 3-25-2021

 

 

Thanks to our unloading crew.

The truck load of crack sealer and new sealer machine came in a day early. The truck driver was able to pull the truck right up to the storage shed making it easy to unload since it had a lift and a pallet jack to move it. But as always we appreciate all the help that showed up. Dennis Ramsey is going to put out a call for helpers to crack seal in the near future.  So if you didn't get a chance to help out with the unloading, we can always use your help when the sealing time rolls around.

1-23-2021 Phil and Pam Rainwater - New House Update

We were sad to see the Rainwater's move

but they are coming along on the house 

that they are building themselves. 

Nice 1967 Piper PA30 Twin Comanche

Oconee County Airport - Clemson, SC

They bought us lunch at a great Cheeseburger

restaurant.  

The house is dried in, Pam is painting the ceilings

and Phil is finishing up on the wiring.

The Pole Barn is almost finished. Phil and Pam

have done most of the work.
