A rare treat when we are all together, this time in Lewes DE at Neil & Barb’s home. A day at the beach and an evening in Rehoboth.

Amazing 19-day visit to Kenya and several of the best locations and lodges.

I took 6,700 photographs, some of the best are here:

Nice video, edited and published by Neil showing he and I flying the Citabria, viewable here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1vwVplIVEM

Hi – thanks for stopping by, but we’ve moved to Facebook.

You can find us at Facebook as Mike Parry, and Lynne Parry. The boys are there too.

Thanks

1946 Piper J3 Cub flying, Landing

With expertise of Roger and john – my collaborators in the project – the J3 Piper Cub rebuilt engine ran for the first time today. This is a major milestone in the restoration we’re undertaking of the 1946 J3 Cub – an American Classic!

Enough already! 25 to 30 inches of snow fell Friday night into Saturday. What a mess. The Delaware State Governor ordered all cars to stay off roads and declared a state of emergency. Bloody nuisance and with more snow projected for Tuesday and Wednesday this is not going to end soon.

I left Argentina on Friday evening (10 hour flight) not knowing if we would land at JFK because of the blizzard. There was just light snow in NYC, so all ok. But on the Amtrak train south the depth just kept building. Amtrak did a great job keeping their service running and I got to Wilmington. The station was open but buried in snow. Dragged my laundry (suitcase) to the office, to collect my car.Despite it being unlawful I drove the Audi home. The car was just fabulous, just perfect for such conditions (unplowed streets, snow banks). The Q7’s power and all-the-time-four-wheel-drive payed dividends – she handled it so well! I dropped my buddy Pat at his house, the set out for home. Valley Road was unplowed and I followed a Power Company truck’s tracks and just kept moving. The Q7 climbed the Meeting House Hill without problems – yeh!

I got to Foxmeadow, which had been lightly plowed, and to my driveway – which hadn’t. I got the car off the street but with the depth of snow I couldn’t get further up the driveway. Lynne and I had to dig it out later in the day, no big deal as the snow was light.

Hopefully today Foxmeadow will be cleaned-up, and my driveway too. Our plow-chappie promises he’ll be later. He needs to – I have a conference in Connecticut to get to tomorrow!
