Saturday - This entry opens with an apology. We had a wonderful day with Carl and Vickie Eckert and didn't take a single picture to share. This account doesn't give proper credit to their hosting effort. Sorry folks.
Carl and Vickie are friends from CheckFree. They retired before us and have been sharing pointers on how to do it. Today showed us they're really getting the hang of it.
We had lunch at the Flying Machine Restaurant at the Gwinnett County Airport where Carl has taken flying lessons. It was great fun.
They provided a tour that included:
- Chateau Elan Winery and Resort - yes, we did do a bit of wine tasting
- Lanier Raceway - where they race a Legend class car
- Road Atlanta Race Course - where Carl has taken racing instruction
- Their beautiful home - where they were preparing a classic Midgit class car for a race in FL next week
Videos of some of Carl's racing completed the picture of what they're doing in retirement. This is serous stuff folks. He is a great driver, don't even think of a challenge.
Vickie topped off the evening with a lovely dinner. The time flew by. Many thanks to the Eckert's for a day to remember.
