Wow, we could do a lot with a million, but if you look again, the goal is a thousand.

I was thinking like my ex wife, just add a few zero's to the number.

Gunny, from the bottom of our collective hearts, I want to thank you for your donation, thank you!

Didn't even know that donations were needed or accepted. I stuck a little in the kitty. I've more than gotten my $ worth in help, friendship and, enjoyment on TPW.

Gene, that was very nice of you to do. Thank you again from all here on TPW, I don't publicize the donation feature here, we try to keep our community running with the three sponsors we have, but we are always accepting donations, and they are always needed.

Typically we have had a Summer raffle if you all remember in the past, and we were able to generate additional funding to carry us through the rest of the year, but this year I was kind of out of commission through much of the summer, and not really ready to take on the additional duty of organizing a fundraiser for our community, my mind was elsewhere, so we are short, I skipped this years Summer raffle, we are very tight, but additional monies by donations are always very much appreciated.

I never would have even brought the donation feature up, but it obviously came out in the post above, nothing I was planning, it just came out.

Thanks again Gene, very much.

Any estimates on how much it will take to get the corporate jet back up and running?  

 

Like others, I had no idea that you accepted donations or where or how to do it.  Now that I know, I am broke for the remainder of the month.  Insurance premiums due this month, you know and grandchildren back to school.  Now, a neighbor wants to cut down a heritage oak and that's going to be an expensive project.  Will have to borrow money for my share.  But, it will be well worth it as it has worried me for a couple years.  Next month, I should be able to pitch in some pennies.

Paint is done.

 

Gunny, that was just the primer coat. 

Here's the finished one.

Boeing is still trying to get it to pass FAA regulations, we've asked for a refund. 

Here's a close up view.

We need more room.  They used these in WWI and WWII.  We have a chopper from the yacht for a onesy or twosy.  But, to make a trip to Africa for some wood or to Brazil for some wood, we need a bit more room.

John test flew this one, but said it was not in the budget.

 

Needs more windows and a paint update scheme.  I wouldn't want to go on a business trip and be shot down as an enemy.

We might could talk the President out of this one, plenty of windows.

 

Especially since he doesn't like the color scheme, he may give us a good discount.  

Guys just as a piece of info how would we go about saving a post to our own computers?? Not really from the free for all forum but from any forum topic like questions asked and answered.

Pat, I just created a file folder and copy those posts to that folder after naming it. That folder stays on the desk top. There's probably a more elegant solution but this works for me.

If you just want to copy the text Pat, the best way I can figure on is to copy paste the text into a .txt doc such as your notepad app if you are using Windows, then save the .txt as the name you want it, to a folder of your choice on your PC.

 

Could also use the snipping tool feature, and save as a png. file.
