Good morning! Knowing that I am barely awake and a wee bit on the tired side, I am here physically anyway! First of all, Charles has posted the puzzler for this week and I want to thank all who ventured a guess at last week's puzzler on the knobs. Not too many of you ventured a guess on this question; we posted a little longer explanation of what knobs are. Coming home yesterday, I was noting all the knobs that lie between Louisville down to Cave City off I65 - a very beautiful area. Maybe this week's puzzle will get you scurrying for an answer - remember - think OLD. Words change meanings or have different meanings over the years; sometimes the obvious is incorrect. Click on the URL in my signature line call gensoup to give it a try and I'll try to answer you back sometime soson!!! Now - many have asked so I will take just a minute. Our trip was wonderful, even in the heat. And yes, I was reunited with the first love of my life, "Charlie". Charlie is in better shape than I am I think; he turns 50 years old next year and is as sleek and beautiful as ever. We spent about 2 hours together with me remembering all the adventures we shared - and if you missed my last week's post - "Charlie" is the airplane I soloed in when a mere 18 years old. The current owner is a wonderful man, the 3rd owner of the plane and it was awesome to climb in Charlie again - it's like a mini jet in style with the roll back canopy. It has all the original panel, and the original engine. The owner also builds and flies experimental aircraft, gyros and gliders so we had a wonderful time seeing these planes in addition to a solid wood plane that looks like it was built in the late 30's to mid 40's (I forgot to ask). We made the Sweeney reunion in Bloomington IL on time and had a delightful time there which included a wonderful bagpiper player who not only played but explained how the bagpipe is played and tuned. Then a trip down to the town of my birth in Lincoln IL and a wonderful visit with my aunt and uncle there - my aunt being the one who got me "hooked" on genealogy in 1970. Then home to Glasgow by 6 pm last night. Sometime in the next couple of weeks I'll have a couple of pictures of "Charlie" and me - my dau and I are downloading our photos now and I might privately let anyone interested to see them. Maybe! Have a great day, I have to get back to reality now .... ugh! See you tomorrow with another of the almost concluding chapters of the Carter diaries.
