  3. When we viewed the hotels website we too said the same thing about the pool area....Looks nice...Too nice to park sleds in ? Funny story.... When I first booked the Delta by telephone a few years back for the first time in the middle of February I inquired of the receptionist if the hotel had a pool onsite. The receptionist politely replied , yes. Subsequently I told the wife to pack her swimsuit. When we arrived a few days later the on duty receptionist gave us a warm welcome with directions to the elevator, bar, restaurant, mall, gym, & sled coral, etc. Not giving us direction to the pool I inquired where the pool was located. The receptionist gave me a peculiar look and and gave me the same directions as she did to the sled coral. I thanked her, went to our room unpacked & changed into my bathing suit and set off for the pool sporting my beer belly, swim trunks, flip flops & towel. I walked down through the lobby, past the desk & all holding court with Bill & JD whom we did not yet know, , and turned right out the pool door. Whoa ! Dam it was cold. it was then I learned the pool was seasonal - outdoors. Thinking there was a mistake , that there must be an indoor pool I returned to the front desk, patiently standing there in my trunks, flip flops & towel over my shoulder & glancing at those that were looking at me. . When it was my turn I stepped up to the desk / receptionist & with great confidence I inquired where the indoor pool was. I was told there was no indoor pool - only outdoors. I announced I was told the hotel had a pool when I phoned. The receptionist replied, yes Mr O'Reilly I took your phone reservation (coincidentally ) and I did tell you we had a pool but you didn't ask if the pool was open. Too funny....Hysterical.. Needless to say it was a comical minute. A valuable lesson was learned. : )

  4. This past Friday & Saturday was Boy Scout weekend at the airport & I helped out with Young Eagle flights. There were four of flying & we gave 107 kids a ride. All the Scouts were very well behaved. One group was fascinated by the fact my plane has ashtrays. The one in the front right seat spotted the 12V outlet in the panel & asked is that where you charge your Iphone I replied yes I use that to charge my electronics but this is really what it's for & I pulled the cigarette lighter out of the glove box...needless to say they had no idea what it was... One of the other pilots said as he was on short final one of the kids yelled "brace for impact" This past weekend there was a TFR in effect since President Trump was at his golf course in Bedminster, NJ. The EAA Chapter I'm a member of had worked out a system for us to fly with the FAA, Secret Service, FBI & probably a bunch of other 3 letter government agencies.
