Mrs Pab and i spent a extremely enjoyable day today driving the scenic Taconic Parkway to the Rheinbeck Aerodrome in Rheinbeck, NY to meet up with a few fellow Stewie owners. It was a really nice day, sorry more of you NE folks did not join us. Hopefully next time!

Here are a few pix:

Looks like fun.

I have always wanted to see that.

Maybe someday.

Lee, I gotta tell ya. It may be time for you do do a visit up North!
I'd sure like to show you some Northern hospitality!

Glad you are still with us! Hope the health issues have gotten better.

Maybe I will if they will let me cross the border. I'll try to refrain from using terms like y'all or thankee.

Health thing is still there. I'm carrying that damn rock around where ever I go. I'm told this too shall pass. Well.....I'm waiting.

Can't they blast that thing with ultra sound or something like that?? I thought I've heard of a procedure somethinkg like that.

batguano · 07-13-2008, 07:56 PM

It's called Lithotripsy. I had it twice about 15 years ago. They will only do it if the stone is too large to pass. I'm told this is a small one. All I can say is it is one tenaciuos SOB.

I hope that I can join in with the next trip. Nice pics Pab, I love the fearless flyer one! The weather was lovely yesterday.Nice to see JJ and Bat posting again. Thanks "y all" for sharing about your trip.------J

Red Stwokay · 07-14-2008, 02:13 PM

Hey Pablo! Hi everyone!

I think I recognize Mr. Pablo in the pic and must be the missis in front of ya. I think I see H20 and his missis as well. Is that right? Don't recognize the other couple...

Hey RED, you have a good memory and excellent powers of deduction!

As for those other two in the photo, they shall remain anonymous!.......

Red Stwokay · 07-14-2008, 02:44 PM

Unfortunately I've been using the car about as often as I'm posting, not good. Gotta git my missis to take some rides as well. Been ridin' the two wheeler more lately. Don't mind getting that messed up by the weather as much... Got caught in a real douser week or so ago, new meaning to the word WET! Kinda like YUK!

Hope to see everyone, at least as is possible, soon!

Happy ridin'!

jagg · 07-14-2008, 03:40 PM

We're fearless, 'n we fly in ancient machinery......It was the coolest thing I've done in awhile.

Anybody remember the movie "1941" ? I'm Belushi in the front.

The Hudson River below, with a grumpy old dude in the foreground.....guess who?

This is a good look for me........

batguano · 07-14-2008, 06:17 PM

I have got to go there and do that...

592 miles...hmmmm

Joyce · 07-14-2008, 06:37 PM

WOW!! I had no idea that you would get to fly in one of those old planes, that is soooooo coooooooooool! Jagg, nice to see you, that must be JJ behind you, he doesn't look grumpy at all in fact he looks like my brother who is a really great guy, I guess that is why I appreciate JJ sense of humor as well as his common sense.
Now I am really bummed out that I didn't go. Well maybe next time!-------------J

Scooter · 07-14-2008, 11:23 PM

Wait - phthphthttp - you got to FLY, too? I didn't get that from the first post...

Now I'm way jealous, and apparently living on the wrong side of the country. Nice pics, Pablo and jagg, thanks for sharing. Who's the cute chick with the grumpy guy?
