No, 6 year-olds should be in school by mid-day, not playing on mommies
computer!

As a 6 year-old mechanical engineer of some 30 years practice and owner of
an IO-540 equiped airplane, I find it somewhat disturbing that the OP was

Anyway, pat on the back - big hug time for the courageous aviator who
started his engine at **GASP** 25 F, after careful deliberation on
aborting the flight until Summer.

Perhaps with your extensive and pontifical experience you cold summarize the
findings of Shell, Chevron, and TCM of the percentage of wear that occurs in
the first 30 seconds of cold (ie, below 40 degrees) starts?
