I think you meant this for the OP. I already have an IR....

You do like to live on the edge don't you?
I guess you also landed in Reading with 3 galloons of useable fuel (50
gal capacity/47 useable on a standard 1968 Cherokee 140), hmm 7GPH, it
sounds like you broke 91.151.

I'm glad you have a new plane and I'm happy for you, but this trip report
should set off some alarm bells about you flight planning and decision
making....


I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was somewhat disconcerted about you
flying off with your bride in an airplane that you had low time in etc.

I am glad you are serious about getting an instrument rating though.
