Well, I made it to the Pincnkeyville rec.aviation.* get-together this
year. Once again, Mary's cooking was excellent, lasagne to die for,
lashings of good BBQ etc. I think the weather gods must have blinked too
- we actually had great weather all weekend, and the flight up from
Houston was probably the easiest weather ever for the fly-in (there was
still the front that lay across Arkansas - it's there EVERY YEAR for the
fly in weekend, but it had no significant weather associated with it and
it was severe VFR for the whole duration of the flight both coming and
going).

Many of the usual suspects made it to the fly-in, and this year as well
as the normal aviation maintenance event, there was some motorcycle
madness, and we built and test flew a homebuilt kit plane in under 1
hour on Sunday morning. (Well, it was a smaller scale quick build kit).

By Saturday night, many had pitched in a donation into the Bucket of
Beer Bottles and we had a fantastic selection of microbrewed beers and
Real Ales.
