Atlas is down...

Had my A&P install my new whiz-bang Iridium fine wire plugs yesterday,

Why did you go to the f w plugs?

Cuz my old ones had/have 700 hours on them, and needed to be replaced.

Everyone says fine wire plugs will outlast the engine, so cost-wise it's a
no-brainer.

be glad he found that bad muffler.. could have been CO2 in the cabin..

Actually, this bad muffler was on the carb heat side of the engine.

Interestingly, Mary *had* commented recently on how it seemed like were
weren't getting as much of an RPM drop during the carb heat test as usual...
The guys at Dawley confirmed that this would be a symptom of a bad muffler.

Tell me about it. I spent 5 extra days in Milwaukee after Christmas trying to
get back to Virginia. Just got back yesterday. Really low MVFR/IFR with ice in the
clouds through from IA to PA for days.

In about another hour, we'll loose that 1 degree C, and the fog will start
freezing to everything.... again.

The high was 82 deg. f. here today. (NW Oklahoma)... on the 3rd of January. We've had two weeks of unseasonably
warm weather. Of course everything is so dry that there are wild prairie fires raging in the area. Winds are
gusting to 40. They just evacuated a small town to the northwest of us. We're about 12 inches behind normal on
rainfall and we only get about 20 per year. I'd trade some warmth for some moisture!

Well, Joe, after the coldest early December in history, Iowa has had weeks
of 38 degree mist and fog.

All of our 18 inches of snow is gone, everything is a muddy mess -- and the
only people flying are airline pilots.

(And even THEY couldn't get into CID on Monday. We had two guests arrive a
day late, because their plane shot two unsuccessful ILS approaches before
returning to MSP for the night.)

The relative humidity has been pegged at close to 100% for days now. It's
like a giant, wet (and cold) blanket...

Our last fly-in guest arrived right after Thanksgiving. I'll take some of
your dry conditions, please!

I dumped the 5" rain gauge 4 times in the last two weeks and I just got
another 3" yesterday. Not that I'd trade water for fire, mindya, but
somewhere in between there has to be a happy medium.

There's a good reason that "weather" is a curse word in German.

Well, that's what I get for listening to my German professor.

Is it really? That's news to me, a native German.
It seems plausible, however, that you meant "Sch...wetter" (one word) which
translates as "sh..ty weather" (two words) in English... :-)
