    Shoulda kept monitoring the AWOS

    So I'm coming home from work the other day and doing the GPS 17 approach as there was an overcast layer reported at 11 to 1200 agl on the AWOS. It also said the winds were 100 at 12. I had checked the AWOS, by my usual practice, 2 or 3 times when I was within radio range (about 50 miles)...

    Evening weather W Tx

    Good morning, Dave. I've been covering the ER in Ballinger (E30, near San Angelo) since yesterday a.m. We got quite a bit of rain/hail/wind out of the edge of some front; and this morning it's about 65 degrees outside! Hope your morning is as well! It's all suddenly so green... :-)

    I just gotta say THANKS to all you who let me fly your plane. Especially Felix (Rob)! He let me LAND his Bo THREE times! After my recent incident, this was just the therapy the doctor ordered. I owe him a debt of gratitude that is hard to put in words... And Tony for the tailwheel time...

    Gaston's procedure and safety review

    I've come in OVER the trees, and ended my usual roll-out right at parking; I've come in through the trees and taxied 3 min to the end for parking; (so no one could see my bumpy landing) Maybe I'll try to come in UNDER the trees this trip... NOT! LOL.

    Long post, but it's the transcripts of me and this guy e-mailing back and forth about my plane advertised for sale. It reminds me of the Nigerian "you've inherited money/I need someone in USA to launder money" scheme. I'm trying to sell my Cessna 150 - I advertised in Trade-A-Plane. Here is a...

    Of course! LOL... There's a neat short story behind the "new plane" that we've not got yet... (wrong thread, but here goes anyway:) We flew to Cozumel. 12 hrs. I loved it. Chel was pretty tired from a long day in the Cherokee. She asked, "Isn't there a better way"? I grinned, and...
