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.

Finished the first draft of Chaparral. A brief rest is in the offing. And then it's onto all the editorial and production work necessary to publish the novel.

Just passed 60K on Chaparral. On the final stretch with rain starting, Willem is at the barn to feed the horses; Detective Brandt is getting strokes from Lieutenant Jewison and Angus Diggsworth is enjoying the comfort of his mobile home. The gang is waiting for the sun to do down so they can carry out their plan to steal a couple of Diggsworth's horses. The solution to the Goggins' case is yet to be found, although with Jewison's encouragement, Brandt thinks he has a chance to solve the case.

Passed 50K on Chaparral. After a jail visit, the search for Goggins' killer narrows. Angus will build a storage shed for the pony's forage. The homeless problem has not grown, although glimmerings of it appear on the Jackson Highway. Kate appears to have made progress in her move to Andre Banks.
