Default Cold is Good!

Took the Fly Baby up last weekend, temperature 40 degrees on the ground. It's
OK once your face goes numb, but it's tough to talk on the radio! :-)

You can get some nice full face protection from
www.cabelas.com or try a motorcycle shop/snowmobile.

Yeah, but they look ugly. I wear a ski mask when the temps drop below 35 or so.

You paint it to look like you're handsome.

I don't think they *make* that much paint! :-)

My wife just bought me a new flying helmet that avoids the ugly look of
motorcycle helmets. It's got full-face protection, stylish appearance, and
actually helps in aerodynamic control:

The trouble is, it makes me look like a hood ornament....

Actually, I think it might make you look like an adornment off the Chrysler
