I got it after a few seconds of reflection. I was concerned initially that
there was a typo somewhere, but I finally figured out what Montblack meant.
I smiled but did not consider it worth a followup. I guess this must mean
I'm smarter than the rest of you :-)

BTW, I got the 25 lb number from a brief call to my A&P. He was just
guessing, too, but at least he's horsed a lot of Cherokee/Warrior props on
and off the crankshaft. Still ain't much of shift in CG.

I think the "fully feathered" remark was in reference to the
Bougainvillea.

Ahh. Okay. I guess it's now no secret that I don't know much about
botany.


Now I wonder how many other funny gardening jokes have gone over my
head...


Fear not Peter. Post was ornithological, not botanical in nature - and
yes,
it was painfully lame.

See, the prop overhears *fully feathered props* and thinks to itself,
"Feathers, cool! Fly prop, be free..." That the prop flew off into the
bush
at the end of the runway to roost, well, that was just an added bonus g.

OK, now it's beyond lame...

As penance, I will unplug my computer and ship it to Alabama on Monday,
where it will be disassembled, piece by piece, by a manly low wing type.
