Buy food over the slow winter months! ;-)

I guess I shouldn't complain about the cold weather here in El Segundo
California (temps Hi: 70, Low: 56).
This morning I was feeling very cold and could see my breath, it was 61
degrees.

But when I look at Iowa City weather (Hi: 44, Low: 29) it doesn't compare.

As I here it , "It is never too cold, your just not dressed warmly enough".

Glad to hear about your new aircraft interior.

When I checked into replacing an armrest on my C-172 I was quoted $100-200
from a Cessna dealer and it was unpainted. That was
as far as I got on my interior remodeling. I paid around $200 for a vacuum
pump that failed instead and there went my budget.
