    Hi Gary;

    How are you keeping with all the COVID going around down there?

    Just responding to your latest response to flightrite. I haven't encountered anyone quite as negative as that guy before.

      Hey Scott,

      good to hear from you. I've been thinking I should call you for a nice catch-up. 

      I am surviving okay. Actually staying in my little caravan at Taree airport at the moment.

      I was wondering how your eyes are these days.  I had an operation on the right one last year for a retinal tear.  And I was due for one on the left next week to remove a membrane on the macula but that has been postponed due Covid. But my vision is actually okay at the moment.Anyway, the more recent Flying Around vids are reassuring; they show you're back in the sky -saddle.

      I hope that you and Chris are doing well up there.  

      Let's hope the nightmare ends sooner rather than later so we can hook up again.

      Yes, we really miss travelling, both here and overseas.

      Sorry to hear about your eye, but glad it seems to be OK.

      Last year I had my cataracts done (both eyes) so that was another procedure to endure. My eyes are going well at the moment. It has been over 12 months since my last eye injection and that problem seems to be resolved.

       

      We have moved the airplane closer to home and that has made flying easier.

       

      At the moment, we are painting the outside of the house. So that has put a bit of a damper on the flying for the past couple of weeks. We have about a week more to do and then I think we'll fly up to a friend's place in Childers and stay a night or two.

       

      I have a gig skippering on a cruise boat around the islands. The boat is owned by the community center and we carry about 6 or 7 passengers to one of several destinations. I have a cruise tomorrow to an Irish pub. So, staying reasonably busy.

       

      We're starting to look at flights to the US for early next year. Since we haven't been for going on 18 months, we might stay longer than our usual 3 month trip.

       

      How is your little bird going these days? I guess if you're up there you're getting some hours up.

       

      Have you had the vaccination yet? Chris and I have had both shots and we're ready for things to get back to (semi) normal.

       

      OK, that's it from here. Take careof yourself and stay healthy.
