Greasing it on nudged 50K today. The hero has been hurt, but not seriously. Will it affect his flying lessons? That remains to be seen. Now that he has four women in his life, will he evaluate which of the four might make a good partner to relieve him of the dating game? Lots of questions to be answered in the next 10K.

Greasing it on snuggled up to 40K today. With that milestone 2/3 of the the first draft is finished. The last third will resolve the plot and bring in the P-51 airplane as a culmination of the other airplanes that Larry Dean has experienced during the 40K romp.

Another productive week. Greasing it on is now past 30K. More adventures and new friends. Reflections on his solo flight and almost disastrous cross-country give Larry Dean much to think and talk about.

Well on the way with Greasing it on. Passed 21K today with a new historical aerial adventure for Larry Dean as well as meeting a lawyer at a present-day McDonald's. As the story progresses, he wakes up to another day of vacation. Larry decides to take a cross-country flight. What will happen at the other airports is yet to be written, but I'm sure there will be interesting people and things to see.

The other book that caromed inside my brain took precedence over the political novel that I started research on. This one will concentrate on a pilot that experiences flight from the earliest Wright Brothers creation to the latest Top Gun machine. The title of this one is Greasing it on.

A couple of ideas have been floating around and today I started researching one of them by writing to the US Senate historian for some help. If and when he or she gets back to me I'll forge ahead with more research. With light speed, the assistant librarian sent me an essay detailing exactly how a senator-elect takes office. Needless to day that essay will become the foundation for the story I have in mind.
