Hey Guys, I just got home from CC #12. I was able to get there in m hay ghetto cruiser after a grueling 5 hr flight straight into the sun all afternoon Friday and a couple stops because I wasn't sure which I was going to run out of first (Sun light or fuel). Ed Fisher lives on a beautiful private park and he and his wife were incredible hosts. His life story could fill a full camp fire evening easily. Saturday a problem was discovered with the fifth bearing that I installed about 5 weeks ago and all day Saturday was spent installing an entirely new set up and I'll have 25 to 30 hours on this one in 4 or 5 weeks again. I met many new friends this week end and several old ones that the relationship grew. All you guys that I met and shook hands with remember your number cause I can not remember your names. The trip home with a brand new major part on the engine was just a little up on the anxiety scale that usually does not bother me. I wind at 9500 feet was a very good tail wind but something funny was going on with buffeting. I circled down through a cloud hole at Danville Va. cause I thought I was loosing my prop. When I got below the clouds it all got smooth again so I continued on from airport to airport just in case. Around Skyline Drive I climbed back up to 9500 and flew for about 150 miles there again and the same buffeting was happening although I stuck it out longer and found it was not continuous so i think it was something in the air. 4 hrs and 10 min to home including a 20 min fuel stop. The new fifth bearing seems to be OK so far. I just can't go without saying what a great group of men were there this week end. The level of experience and the expertise in all kinds of fields of industry is incredible and the common thread that I noticed was that the group as a whole were all achievers and can do attitudes that i am certain got them along well in their lives. I met John Kerneey for the first time and another stand out was Anthony who proudly serves America, I think is rank is Captain Purple. There were several other stand outs but me and names don't get along well. Just thank you all for sharing your lives with me for the weekend I will always cherish it. Joe Horton, Coopersburg, Pa.
