Hello from the Volunteer State

Welcome! What's the story with the 7ECA you'll be flying? Friend's airplane? Rental? Or did you just buy it recently?
 
If the oleo's are holding fluid and working it's the nicest landing gear around...
If they're not kept up they work ok but feel "squishy" and compress too easily during a bounce.
All in all, good landing gear...
I had a house in a little town just South of you called Tunnel Hill Georgia. I got up to Chattanooga every week or so. Beautiful country.
Welcome to Barts Board

As a kid I used to love to backpack in the Cohutta Wilderness Area, just across the GA border.
 
That's funny. But nobody who misspells the contraction for "you are" should call anybody else an idiot.

Lived in Huntsville in the 1960s. Loved the country between Huntsville, Tupelo, Suwanee,
Athens - gorgeous to fly over. Tennessee was the nearest place one could find a singles bar. Didn't call them that back then.
 
Sorry Chris, I'm a retired teacher. The "your" in the last line of the sign is spelled as used in "your book." The context of the last line calls for the contraction of "you are." Should be spelled "you're."
But the sign is still good. In the seventies I lived in Santa Fe, NM and used to teach Texans to ski. We needed this and much more. :)

Welp, I'm a retired student...
Still don't see nuthin wrong wit the sign...

I suppose it depends on where in these formerly United States you are sitting as to what is korrect concerning spellin 'n such... 🤓
Some places in South Louisiana think the word "Grammar" should be followed with "Cracker"...
Probably easier ro get a concensus on a TCDS...🙄

Who was actually born in the South...just not in this country.
 
I apologize. I try never to criticize anyone’s spelling directly, or their grammar. But it does drive me absolutely nuts. Apostrophes where they don’t belong, or using I when it should be me, and vice versa, or folks typing “walla” when they are trying for the French version of “there you go” - just nuts.
But Southern accents and phrases are plenty fine with me - bless my little heart.

Credentials - lived in Florida and Alabama. Spent time in Georgia building airplanes. Love the people there. Just happy to be in SoCal for the final curtain call.
 
Yes. For me it was "pardner."

We were floating around this afternoon on the north runway of one of the world's busiest GA airports - 80 degrees. All by ourselves. We called each other "company."

What a beautiful day . . . Nobody but us. Must have been a football game or something. Eleven landings, thirty minutes including taxi. You can do that in Tennessee, and on grass, but in February it might not be 80 degrees.

You would like my airfield. Grass runway, and total taxi distance from my hangar to the runway threshold is 50 feet. If I need gas, that's another 50 yards.
