Worst weather, ever...

Jack,
You know it does become an obsession... I didn't start off to go to the
airport I just ended up there... How is your airplane search going?

How come I can envision myself doing the same thing once I'm an owner?
Is it some sort of hopelessly incurable disease or something? No, wait,
I already know the answer to that one...probably something like going to
Oshkosh once then realizing you're stuck doing it the rest of your life
but for some strange reason, you really don't care and can 100% justify
the expense involved. :-)

At least it's looking like I'll get to go out for a couple more IA
lessons Thursday and Saturday. Whoo hoo, more hood time! Yes, I love
to look at the panel and work on my scan...all the while trying to hold
heading and altitude. It's fun...in a twisted sort of way.

Have a giant elephant ear for me! Their bacon burgers are good too.

You get yours on Thursday :-)

Get all your flying in, tomorrow.

Ssssshhh! I wasn't going to mention that, in the hope that it wouldn't come
to pass!

Really, all of this nice, blue sky is getting rather boring. I would like
to see a cloud, or two.g

When (not if) it comes, the thing that everyone can count on, is that it
will be around for a while. *That* is the trend for this year.

Ditto, hasn't been too bad in Beantown lately. Coupla storms but they've
come, done their business, and moved along. Not like last year, when the
winter seemed to go on into late June. I remember reading that some big
highs were stalled over Greenland and forming a wall trapping all the slop
on the East coast.

Thursday, huh? If that's the case you might hear me out there too, sniffing
for some actual in and out of BED, LWM, and BVY. Say "hi" if you hear a
Skyhawk 55D on the freq.

-cwk.

It's a beautiful clear day in Boston today. The forecast for Thursday sez
clouds and upper 50s; could be nice for practicing some actual instrument
approaches.

Got one here tonight Jay!


Cold, -15C, no wind, can see every star in the sky.

(New Brunswick , Canada... (East Coast) )

I have been up nights like this... 10K and You can see for
freaking miles.

And at -15C our little Cessna 172 goes up like a homesick
angel (well. relative speaking of course)

Did get 1200 fpm one night with 1/2 tanks & little 'ole
me.....

North Central Illinois is no better. Blizzards, low ceilings, low
visibility, and freezing rain. It's been an interesting couple of weeks
since Christmas. The forecast is for several more days of rain and
overcast with temps in the 30's. Ugh!

That's our forecast too -- followed by temperatures plummeting to well below
zero.

Right now, though, cold sounds pretty good. I'll happily take one of those
big ol' Canadian high pressure systems, one of those real hum-dingers,
with -20 degree temps but light winds and crystal clear blue skies.

Heck, I've got a good heater, and anything beats freezing fog and rain!

Go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm in the right tunes...

Think "music chords" Jay!

Boy, you know how to start a thread ;-)

It's been pretty crappy here in Minden, NV, too.
Lots of snow and cold weather.
I'm hoping to get airborn this week, though.
