How long is the line to try that?

Well, sonme of the longest threads I've ever seen for starters!

I missed so much yesterday.

Silly me -- out doing other things (Chandelles, Lazy and not so lazy
8s, stalls, shorts and softs...) and not reading Jay's journalism.

First hour was in a C172E with the 145 HP. The takeoff roll is less
than enthusiastic and Larry and I looked at each other and laughed. We
knew we would eventually be flying but holy cow...

The Continental kinda lopes along -- like an old dog that gives you a
look that says, "I'll get there, I'll get there!"

After and hour we landed, had lunch, then headed down to VVS to pull
the A36 out. It cleared during that time and we went up and had some
fun. What an airplane. Every time I fly it I learn what else it can
do.

Despite the relatively low wind velocities, the air was turbulent up
to 4000' AGL -- very unusual around here when the wind isn't from the
east.

It sure was nice to be back up after a full five days...

For shame!

I like the old C 145. Exactly like you say it is. A faithful old dog of
an engine. .

Mowing??

You're in far warmer climes than I!!

I may be shoveling by nightfall.

maybe, but it's very very cold here too! It's gotta be done, though.

Was doing that the other day...
