Some months ago I indicated hereon that I'd be moving back to Massachusetts to take care of my ailing sister for three months. That's when Mike Draper sent me a PM inviting me down to Plymouth for a flight. He knew that caregiving is murder on a person's soul.
It's been hard to get away because it's a sunup to sundown job and time isn't my own.
But my sister is doing well enough now that I felt confident telling her she was on her own and so today I drove down to meet Mike.
Long story short: Fabulous, perfect RV-8. Even more fabulous and perfect person.
I've never been in an 8 -- rides have been hard to come by since I sold my RV-7A in 2016 -- so we flew along the coast of Cape Cod, past the canal, up to Provincetown and down the Atlantic side across Hyannis and back home.
It's been a long time since I've made a new RV pal but I couldn't ask for a better one and a better day.
Thanks, Mike
PS: After you fly with Mike, you sign his baggage door. Fabulous idea
