Does this winter seem extra long this year or I'm I just getting old! I'm just so tired of all the rain and MUD! I'm tired of landing asphalt! It's been just so Bad around your area this year I think the wife is ready to BOOT me out.

Winter? That ended months ago. Everything is blooming down here and the highs are regularly in the 70's and 80's.

Perhaps you need to relocate?

We haven't had winter here yet.(Eastern Montana). It is very dry here, going to be a dust bowl if it don't rain this spring.

HAHA! I sit here and look out the window, the temp is -48 this morning and with the wind chill, -72! No flowers here yet!
I'm working a short job on the North Slope. Still on skis at home for another couple of weeks anyway.
Just thought I'd throw out a little perspective for you guys, enjoy the rain!

There is flying weather and then there is Alaska

Although I sure would like to see some of this "global warming" these flim flam scam artist are talking about

Even California has has it's share of skycover below 300 Ft, vis 1/4 mile, and lots of rain and mud. Your not getting old it has been one long winter but I can empathize with the sentiment.
I'll be glad to see a string of nice days!

You know you can schedule that thing. I think I would do one sometime when it's warm and there is plenty of light

Do you have those mosquitos in July?

Beautiful day in north Georgia today, it's 55 degrees now headed toward the high 60's, severely clear, wind out of the east a 3 mph. Think I'll go wind the rubber band on the Cub and see whats going on in the neighbors back yards.

Your a man's man Belandd.

That must be tough doing that outside up there in AK LOL.

I ownly really snow plowed once this year. Normal would be 6 to 10 times plowing sometimes more so we have had it easy as snow goes this year.
We really didn't get a ground freeze this year and with all the rain the grass strips are nothing but mud!
A buddy of mine trying to fly his 182 thought he could get out of he strip and sunk it to the axles just trying to taxi out LOL.

I don't want to waste any of our short summer on doing the annual.
Looks like temps will be in the 40's tomorrow and I hope to some work done on the Maul.
