    My logbook says it was 11. Fortunately for me the heater worked perfectly and the canopy hardly leaked any air - NOT. :yikes: I nearly froze!! I do believe that's the first time I met you and Tom (January 2004), so however cold it was it was worth it. :smile: I believe this is an...

    April Mid-West Fly-In - Locations Poll

    I would try to make Canon City. I've never rafted as early as April but think it would be worth exploring.

    I don't know Rick, it could be a very dangerous airplane. I suggest you bring it to me ASAP and let me put 20 or 30 hours on it to make sure everything is OK!!! :rofl: Like Jesse said, yours is just rigged very well. When you want it to misbehave I'm sure it will be happy to do exactly...

    Sounds like a perfectly rigged biplane - congratulations! That must be a joy to fly.

    High blood pressure

    I guess I did imply that. I was trying to make a couple of points: first, I believe a lot of people who are on BP medication could control their BP with a change of lifestyle - not everyone of course, but a lot of folks; and second, no matter what the implications are for flying, even if you...

    High blood pressure

    Dustin, The docs will have good input for you I'm sure. Please listen carefully to what they have to say. I have flirted with high blood pressure myself and have a family history of high blood pressure. Thanks to a good friend on this board (you can guess who) I decided to try to get it...

    The day Hayden goes home with me is the last ANYBODY sees of him. I don't name anything with spark plugs, and I don't get attached to ceramic garden gnomes. Sorry. Hayden hitches a ride, he dies in a hard fall from about six feet. :D

    The GM Jet

    Sympathy? They won't find any here. Between poor management and the auto unions they get what they deserve.

    GA in Northwest Arkansas

    I'll do the instruction, but not in my Husky. If they have their own airplane I can do it.

    GA in Northwest Arkansas

    Chris, Send me a PM with any specific questions and include your email address. I have a hangar at Bentonville and instruct out of there. I've flown in NWA since the 70's. I can point you to some excellent rentals in the area (the C182RG is one of the nicest I've ever seen) and I might...

    Interesting perspective on Flight Instructing

    I used to enjoy taking instructors up in the Extra, turning them upside down, and asking them to give me a 180 degree turn to the left while holding altitude. It was my attempt at reminding them how difficult some people find tasks that others find simple. :devil:

    Technology Shocker

    I'd consider buying a Mac too, if someone held a gun to my head and forced me to. Oh, I'm kidding!!! I wouldn't even buy one then.

    450 Recipient Rejected: Rate limit exceeded

    I assume something like this was happening. My scans found nothing on my computer last night. This morning all is normal. Nice of my provider to let me know. :mad:

    I'll run all my spyware/anti virus software scans again. Just did that Thursday of last week. Then I'll talk to my ISP. Thanks.
