Overworking and spoiling my cats. Bought a Cherokee.

We (it took both of us) trimmed the cat's claws last night.

I love the Cherokee.
I have about 20 hours or so in a 140.
That's a fun airplane.

How many stitches

And relatively inexpensive as far as planes go. It isn't fast but it goes,
and that's the important part.

I'll try to add something constructive here.

I'm part-way (most-way?) through doing the fiberglass cowl halves for an
RV-9A. "Doing" means first fitting them, then attaching them, then
sealing them. So far I find it less fun than the canopy, which in spite
of the scare stories was straightforward in comparison.

The cowl halves are fitted (trimmed and fit), attachments placed (hinges
for the two halves, Skybolt fasteners around the firewall), and now I'm
sealing the fiberglass with WEST system epoxy. A messy job since the
epoxy, thinned with lacquer thinner or acetone per Vans instructions,
runs and drips, and then the sanding is tedious and just a chore. But I
discovered last night that wet sanding is far superior! No dust, just
rinse with the hose occasionally to get rid of the slurry, and my
cordless Makita orbital sander still works. It's even easy to see what
areas are properly sanded, and which aren't, by the way the water sheets
or beads.

I miss the days of Chuck, Badwater Bill, Zoom, Juan, Tony, John, John,
the RAH 14. I was mostly a lurker but it was great entertainment.

Still monitoring but haven't seen anything worth responding to in
ages.

I miss Badwater and Juan about as much as cancer...
and the feelings were mutual even back then.

Bill, the bully, was the greatest pilot on the planet.
Jaun was a genius too, if you listened to him.

Myself, at 75, I still fly my RV3 and am far from dead.
With 59 years of licensed flight, I've seen a lot of pilots
screw the pooch that thought they were hot ****.

For you, Clare, I still think car engines in airplanes suck!

P.S.
Who I do really miss is Vicki Cruse, Zoom's ex-wife.
We were good friends until her untimely death in England.
