Mary and I are (God willin' and the crik don't rise) headed that way
for the first time since '04. We'll be working the booth with our
friends in the "Flying Colors Glass" booth (in the SNF equivalent of
the North 40) promoting their windows and our hotel (where several of
their windows occupy a position of honor).

We're hopeful for a smooth arrival. I don't want to circle that
danged Lake Parker even one more time!

I tried to make it happen, but no such luck. We have a trip planned a
trip from 1H0 to KDTS to let my little one (almost 3) experience a
real beach (as opposed to the sandbox out back). I tried to work out
a side trip to Lakeland, but I couldn't make it work. At 120kts its
2.5 hours each way (unless I cut the corner, overwater, something not
in my personal risk tolerance). Which means an overnight there, plus
nap issues for my daughter, etc.

I started a conversation along the lines of, "well maybe I'll fly by
myself down there and you guys can stay here....." but you can imagine
how that went.

Until I got the map out, its hard to believe how big the state of FL
actually is.

Not an issue, she will sleep while you fly.
My 14 year old is alseep within 20 minutes of liftoff and doesn't awaken
until I pull the power back for descent.

Yep. We flew as a flight of two with Brian & Christine in their new
(to them) Cessna 172 today, coming back from Wisconsin.

In order to keep pace with their Skyhawk we were throttled back to 20
inches of MP, and 2000 RPM. At those settings, Atlas is so quiet that
BOTH kids fell right to sleep, and didn't awaken even when I landed!
Mary had to shake them awake as we were taxiing in...

Incidentally, at that throttle/prop setting, Atlas can stay in the air
NINE HOURS!

When I first got checked out in my club's 182 back in 1981, I reviewed
the POH and discovered by looking at the endurance chart that it showed
11 hours at 55% power.
