Never heard of those airplanes.... :-)

Those are my "ground flyers".

Don't feel bad, we have been getting our tails kicked around here in

Friday afternoon with lots of rain, that's when you will wish you were up
there (flying), instead of down here (driving).

I think I'd rather try to fly a Cessna 150 through the freezing level
in IMC than try to drive across LA in traffic, especially if it's
*raining*. Yuck.

Hmmm, interesting Jon. I'm using Mozilla as my news reader (IMHO, way
better than Outlook express that I've previously used) and what I
sometimes see in my tree-view of posts is two identical posts from you.
As I go back and look at this thread now though, I don't see them.
Strange. Not that I'm flaming you for wasting valuable bandwidth or
anything...I mean, what's a few extra Kbytes worth of text among
friends, eh? Just something weird I noticed so replied as I did (and
confused Jay B. in the process...yes!) :-)

I miss the cold. So perhaps you should consider yourself lucky, Jay. It
could be 72 degrees up there, ya know.

You really, really suck, Jim.

Aye Aye captain! Will gladly go fly an airplane and report back :-)
Sounds like we'll get to take a look at it Saturday. I'll have my
flying gear with me just in case the owner asks us if we want to take it
for a spin...er, you know what I mean.

You probably
would never go back to wanting a 172. Not that there is anything wrong
with a 172 mind you, they are great planes but you know what I mean. I
Yep, sort of the Tim Taylor approach. Faster, more bells and
whistles...oh ya, I'm sure to take a much more dim view of a C-172 after
I get my first chance to play with the landing gear switch and see a
faster TAS.

Remember what they say... Keep 5-10% of the
purchase price put back for the first years "suprise" expenses. Pay
extra and have the avionics stack checked out (including the ELT) by a
qualified avionics shop. It shouldn't cost too much and it would be
worth it.
Sage advice gladly accepted. I'm all ears when it comes to stuff like
this so if you want to pass along your list, please do. Perhaps a good
topic for a r.a.o post...I mean, since we've wandered from Jay H's
weather woes to my latest ownership report. Hey, at least it's all
aviation related.

Not that strange. What's happening is Jon sends the first post,
which takes off into Usenet and starts appearing on other servers.
Then he sends the corrected post, which is a separate item and also
gets distributed to the Usenet servers. That's when you see two
seemingly identical posts. The second post is followed by a cancel of
the first post, which (eventually) removes the original post from some
servers. Some people might always see both posts, as some Usenet
servers do not accept cancel commands.

Ok, now here's a good one.... Freezing drizzle advisory this morning
changing to rain in the afternoon with warmer (35F) temps. So most of the
area's schools were 2 hours delayed. Township roads were pretty slippery,
County and state roads were fine. So what does our local school do???? No
delay, send the busses out this morning on the ice THEN declare they will
cancel school... When??? at 1pm!!! Just so they can call it a full day
towards their 180 school days. And what's the weather now at 2:45?? 35
degrees and rain, roads are clear... un freakin real.

It's all over if Jay posts a picture of himself measuring a snowdrift
with a ruler.

Actually, most Iowans I know (including me) would vastly prefer snow to
the
crap we've been getting.

There's just not much you can do with freezing rain and sleet.

(Although, incredibly, our schools are OPEN today! All the school
districts
around us are closed -- again -- but the "powers that be" in Iowa City
must've finally felt the pressure from parents to stop canceling school
while the rest of us kept going about our business as usual.)

I have been getting many posts twice, (perhaps 25 %) but I think it is the
Charter news server, since the problem began just after they switched to and
nntp ? (I think) server. So is it me, or anyone else besides charter
customers having the problem?
