Took the words right out of my mouth. I love it. Congrats!

Very, very nice. The house is great, but even more impressive is the very well-maintained property. Someday I hope I don't have to commute too far and still have 1+acre with trees like that. Unlikely, in DFW, that's for sure.

Were you in the airlines? My dad retired (early, of course, damn management whole different story) from DAL back in May after 18 years with 12 years with the Marines flying Skyhawks beforehand.

Six years with the USAF and 31 with ExxonMobil. Over that span I flew the following equipment:

T-37
T-38
KC-135 (Boeing 707)
EC-135
C-141
Gulfstream II
Gulfstream III
N-265 (Saberliner)
Citation 3
Gulfstream IV
Global Express

Also have a few hours in a Falcon 2000 and a Gulfstream 5.

The first 5 were with the Air Force and the rest were with Exxon and ExxonMobil. Well over 10,000 hours of flight time. I stopped counting a few years ago.

Very nice, Frank. Were you a company pilot for XOM flying the C-level guys around? Were you good buddies with Raymond? haha.

Anyway, hope over the 31 years you were with XOM, you got a piece of the stock action. What a great stock and very well run company. Of course, they are so well-run that the backlash is brutal on their staggering profit. Oh well.

Oh btw, very nice planes, I'd love to take a G5 for a spin around the block.

I love that house! The stonework is a great touch. It looks like it will be a chore keeping up with the landscaping though. Good luck with that!

Well, now I feel inadaquate. My neighbor who shares my private drive just drove by in a red Ford GT.

You have the lightweight advatange, although he probably has you beat in the tire width department.

QUIKAG

Yeah, you're probably in big trouble if you try to race that Ford GT.

Yeah, but it still sounds like fun
