Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: pleeeeeease stop snowingWalt,It's not a bit better here. Took the trash out a few minutes ago and I remarked to Isabelle that it looked like snow clouds. Those low dark looking puffs like they had one winter when I was soldiering at Cp Atterbury, Ind. That's about 35 miles below Indianoplace. Boy was it cold. Cussed yankees for the next 20 years. We have had some good signs lately, the robins came through and striped the cherry laurels of berries about a month before they were due which says we will probably have an early spring. You can comfortably fly a Piet down here from 60 and above but not for too long. It was about 65 last Sat when I flew and after an hour I landed feeling like a popsicle.

Walt,Just got my March Kitplanes, there is a great article about flying open-cockpit when its cold. Mostly common sense but you may pick up a couple good hints. Article called Flying Alfresco, page 26.Skip, in sunny Atlanta, 24F coldMore snow today,,,went up to knock snow off the hanger, and thought about hugging my Piet. This winter is far tooooooo long. Don't know what it is. Guess it's because I don't have a project to work on. Last fall with it's DAR and licencing, and test flying, seems like a dream. Haven't flown since Nov of last year. walt--- csfog(at)earthlink.net ________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sat, 08 Feb 2003 15:47:20 -0600
