Default Whew - ASI died in flight

When I bought my Mooney the first fuel stop on my way home I departed
some remote airport in Texas and the ASI stuck at 50mph (not flying
speed) and then went down to zero. I was seconds away from enter the
clouds. I decided to use the 295 to turn back to land at 400 feet.
Seemed safer in that flat part of the country vs. enter IMC (I had a
clearance void time but wouldn't get radar contact for some time).
