Yes, it's a joke. You can go back to bed now.


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

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 NOT a joke.
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.
Catch my drift??

He never said anything about "killing" his engine. He is certainly
worrying more than necessary, but that is no worse than your overly
melodramatic and condescending response. Actually, your response was
worse as his was made from ignorance and yours was intentional.
