[Rhodes22-list] New airship for Brad

[Michael D. Weisner]

Herb,

We live on a 1/3 acre lot (we built on 1-1/2 lots) in a development of tract 
homes that are on 0.20 acre lots.  My R22 is less than 20 feet from his 
house.  A silver tarped R22 probably isn't the nicest thing to look at half 
the year (the other half it's just the empty trailer) but hey, he bought the 
house with full knowledge that I stored the boat in that location.  He has 
been talking of selling for the last 10 years, maybe I'll buy it for one of 
my daughters if the price is right.

I love folks that think that they can move in and try to change what they 
don't like.  It reminds me of the people who buy lower cost homes located 
near the airport and then complain to have the takeoff and approach paths 
changed because the noise is bothering them.  Duh, why do they think that 
the housing was inexpensive?
