I hadn't flown since the end of last March so I had some questions,
but felt confident I could still fly. How well was different matter.

At any rate, I preflighted the Deb in the hangar (it was cold and
windy outside).


Truth be told, it was cold and windy IN the hangar too:-))



up while doing the preflight. I loaded all my flight *stuff* into the
Deb and then pulled it out of the hangar. As I was already hooked up I
used the Tug to take it over to the gas pumps. It took about 44
gallons to fill so I know they gave it a good test flight. :-))


Sure they didn't just filled up their C150? g


If they did, considering the time on the tack that rebuilt mixture
body is giving much better fuel burn than I used to get :-))

Nice write up. I took the liberty of browsing your pages. Hope to
accomplish half of what you have done.


Thanks, I appreciate that. Don't forget those pages cover a LOT of
years:-)) They are also an 11 year accumulation of notes.
