Happy Easter. Some of us we're blessed with a beautiful coating of new snow making the world look like a new day

Grandkids had a blast for over 2 hrs on the hill behind the house. Best sled snow all winter, er.......spring.

Cool fun. I saw a "Yard Sale" wipe out at the end of that toboggan ride..... MK

Spent Saturday on the island with Bob replacing the bearings on the seaplane Dolly and running around chasing parts and ice cream in his 35 flathead Ford

Gotta love this time of year. I get to fly till 9pm every evening and still have enough light left to change the oil after landing at 8:59.

One of our aviation friends needs all the help and prayers we can give. He's not a name know to most people. He's not famous because of gaint leaps in aviations growth. He's a humble man who tells the amazing life story of a friend and mentor, a living history of early aviation and a man named Cole Palen. Jim Hare as been hanging around the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome scince he was a small boy. He has actively been a part of the team starting in1981. He is one of the large drops of glue that have held the Aerodrome together every day he's there.
The Aerodrome has had a few announcers over the years but IMO none as colorful as Jim Hare. The team puts the shows on every weekend but Jim announcing from the rickity tower has been the airboss for as long as I remember keeping the show going as the wheels are falling off the wagon with everything we we're trying to start and keep running,
Jim was told a couple weeks ago the he has inoperable stomach cancer and most likely not going home again. He's a great guy with nice kids and wife. Working at the Aerodrome has never been a great paying job, more a love affair with things that are important.
If you were every lucky enough to make it to the Aerodrome and Jim was the story teller then you were treated to a great memory.

Family could use some support for the tough road ahead.
