Valentine's Day Flights?

I live slightly southeast of you, so I understand. G

Our hangars are in the $400/mo range, so cover and bungees it is!

Well, it's past Valentine's Day, and apparently NO ONE (other than
me?) took their honey for a V-Day flight? I can't believe it.

Our "Ultimate Valentine's Day" packages include a sunset airplane
ride, and they are very popular with the lovebirds. Champagne, Godiva
Chocolates, a dozen roses, and an airplane ride -- that's ROMANCE,
boys and girls!

How many people here have honeys who would think flying one of those
newfangled contraptions is romantic?

It's hockey season. Who wants to fly when the wind is 220/25? I've got
a lot of better things to do than slog around in that crap.

Hey,
We did go the airports the last two days trying to dig the
Cardinal out in preparation for a flight. The good news was that
there was no snow on the bird. Although the snow was somewhat heavy,
the strong wind probably blew them all off. Yesterday the airport
snowplow had not cleared a path to our tiedown spot. Today, it was
not done until about 3pm. It had been pretty cold down in the 10's
and 20's but the sun melted down the snow layer then the cold wind
froze the melted snow into solid sheet of ice about 8 inches thick all
around the plane. We had to break the ice sheet into big chunks with
a sharp shovel then hand carried them piece by piece to the snow
mound. After 2 hours we got the front part clearout. If the weather
continues to be nice, we may have the time to go for a short flight in
the afternoon after picking up the car. In spite of the snowstorm,
this is a Valentine week to remember for us. Rick's 18-200mm VR
Nikkor lens finally arrived after putting in the order 8 months ago.
Roberts Imaging only charged us the original price of $679 while
people snapping up every available lens at Best Buy or Circuit city
for $900. I got my manual Honda Fit for $100 below MSRP after 3 days
while people pay up to 25% over list price or wait 6 months or more to
get it. The best news of all just came in half an hour ago. My
daughter called from Colorado and let us know that she was accepted to
Vet school. Yippee! Life is good. If we manage to go up this
weekend to celebrate a late Valentine, it will be icing on the cake
(and not ice around the plane ;0).

I have a Hondy Odyssey, have been thinking of downsizing and have looked
at the Honda Fit. Cute little thing and looks like it has room for some
luggage if you took it on a trip. What do you mean "magic seats"? are
they heated?
:-)

Did you check out the Fit or test drive it? I was so impressed
with its cargo space and several novel seat configurations: tall mode,
utility mode and refresh mode. I got a chuckle when a car reviewer
called the last mode the canoodle mode ;-)
I think we are way past the automobile canoodling age but you
never know when you need to sleep in the car. On a cross-country
camping trip years ago, it was pretty late when we reached Lincohn,
Nebraska. All campgrounds were full. The same went for motels. A
national bowling convention was going on. We ended sleeping in our
Rabbit Diesel at a rest area. Early next morning, a hippy-looking
young man knocked on the car window. He told us he was broke and
wanted to sell his guitar. We had neither need for a guitar nor much
room in the car. On another trip, we camped next to a lake. A
thunderstorm came by with heavy downpour and strong wind knocked down
the tent and drenched everything. The Camry station wagon was
certainly roomier than the Rabbit!
If you downsize from an Odyssey, it may take some getting used to
the Fit but it is zippy little car which has a surprisingly great
amount of interior and cargo spaces.

Congratulations! Another of life's milestones...

I hope you get a chance. We're taking a few days of R&R (this
romantic Valentine's Day stuff is exhausting -- we've been packed all
week, and I don't want to see a box of Godiva chocolates for another
year!) after tomorrow, and hope to fly down to St. Louis for a few
days...weather permitting.

We got another 4 inches of snow last night... It's really piling up
now.

Work and weather have conspired to keep me on the ground.

Having been in Florida this week, I "missed" the snow/ice storm here
in the Boston area. I'm going over to the plane this morning to see how
bad the snow/ice has entombed my airplane.
