Ditto. Had a IPC scheduled last weekend. The weather wasn't too bad but my
plane was iced over (including ice in the belly which can interfere with
control rods) and it wasn't worth it to me to pay for a hangar.


I was mowing the lawn today and got ****ed when I hit a sprinkler head.
Muttered some expletives and drove to the marina with the convertible's top
down. The girlfriend showed up wearing short shorts and a bikini top. We
hopped in the boat and went fishing.

Why do people still live up north?

Why do people still live up north?

Personally, I'm banking on "global warming"...

Something is going on. It's the middle of February and a zillion boats have
been crossing over from the States all winter. Usually in the winter I see
nothing but whitecaps when flying overhead. Usually the seas are so rough
that even the small freighters can't make a crossing. This year I see a
bunch of boats on calm waters. The sea bottom hasn't been stirred up once.
The last time I saw this weather pattern was 1992, which brought Hurricane
Andrew.

It's better in the Bahamas!
The Bahamas run for nearly 700 nm with extensive shallow waters.
Following the shallows from island to island is like a Mid-westerner
following railroad tracks.

Got it...

Remember the stories about naval aviators following the luminous trail from the carrier at night?
