He has been among the missing with his newsletter and provocative questions! Have the Students of the Corpus Christi area overwhelmed him?

I rather miss him asking some question and then sitting back and enjoying all the answers. Not a bad way for him to work on his colliquial English!

Perhaps he has been so engrossed with the construction of the N&M railroad that he has forgotten us.

I trust that this will draw him out of the woodwork!

Floating Capt,

Your ability to judge character is uncanny!!! I have been here, merely just below the surface. We are going into "STANDARDIZED TEST" season which requires much more of my time then before. Also my CAP activity has also picked up ...

This link should take you to the latest stuff we have been up to...
http://www.caller.com/ccct/local_news/article/0,1641,CCCT_811_4459499,00.html

We are building an operational unit and staffing our squadron.

Rest assured I have a whole slate of things for the Spring. I ordered more TRACK and my Daughter, The Boo, and I are saving for some rolling stock.

There will...soon...be a flood of pics and features from me.

Capt Carrales,
The Flying CAPT

If you need some PICS of THE FLYING CAPT, here is a quick fix...

We can't find the ground to dig a hole to plant anything right now! Just plowed 3" of fluffy white stuff off the driveway. It's just great living out in the country with 275 feet of driveway to the road.

Joe has gone with the strength and as he drives through King Ranch every day he decided to become a drover, where he is now no one knows.

Ian,
did you know that King Ranch had a big operation right here in little Milton, DE for about 20 years? Some guy was trying to sell me land downwind of it and saying the wind don't blow from that direction but a couple of days a year when I knew full and well that it was the prevailing wind direction! about 8 years later King Ranch closed down the operation and all that land is now housing development ---- Beautiful lawns!

Yeah hind sight is a wonderful thing; but if he was an Australian you would say he has gone a droving down along the Diamantina with Conroy's sheep. This is to do with the legendary Australian bushman; Clancy of the Overflow. He was also acharacter in both the Man from Snowy River movies.
