   Stan--

   How far downstate is this?  Your gyro looks like a whole lot of fun.  I think that I'd be just a little distracted having this machine around :)

   We were down over the weekend, ate breakfast this morning at the restaurant just west of the Interstate. Have a close friend that lives about 3 miles North of you, on 1000. We were visiting, several months ago when the storm that took down all your trees went through. You got hit hard, what a shame.Never serious, but always right.

   Stan, don't think that pic is close enough for them to use it as advertising. ;)

   I take it you two are recommending this as a good place to eat?

   My co-horts and I have bought our boss an Xmas present that will take him about 30 down the road from you, Monticello.  But he won't get to use it until Spring.  Two words:  choo, choo.

   Never have understood the fascination.  Flying has always seemed 100 percent better.jt8

   Ain't no mud here now - It's all frozen as hard as concrete. If I understood correctly, that restaurant you were talking about is called "Country Gardens". And it's on the west side of I-57 at route 9 ??? We may check it out this weekend when we're up that way. We're still heading north Sunday morning and coming back Monday, if your plans have changed.

   If it was here, the weather service would be saying, "yeah, but we're still under a drought advisory."
