Yes and it seems airplanes that sit throw temper tantrums and our pilot ski
lls seem to dull and springtime is when we start to come out of our hole.
Just like the groundhog, we stick our nose out, we move in steps to get goi
ng again.

Anita and I will be there.
Watch the weather up North. It's nice down here but you have to get here f
rom there.
Heck getting 12AY the 5 miles from Plant City Airport to Lakeland may have
to be by road.
My freshly top overhauled engine is leaking oil from the turbo components l
ike rain. I'm throwing time and parts at that now. The last oil leak is a
t the oil catch can area under the turbo (which is wet between the split al
so) and believe it or not, my hose from the turbo outlet to the manifold is
full of oil and leaking. What a mess. Hopefully, I can troubleshoot that
and find a less costly fix than I fear the symptoms are leading to. On to
p of that, although all went extremely well during high power flight test c
limbs, stalls, cruise and engine data checks I did some touch and goes and
after a short/soft field full stop landing, I was feeling good on taxi back
then I find the voltage down to 12 and the amps at -2 at idle power. It n
ever does that. It is always 13 minimum and slightly positive. I ran it u
p to 2500 and the voltage rose a bit as did the amps indicating there is so
me life there. Then I saw a small pool of oil under the turbo. Either the v
oltage regulat!
or has failed (I just put that on in 2007) or my stator has died (I repair
ed that in 2006). Frankly a 14 year old part on a 20 year old engine shoul
d last forever don't you think? Except it is an airplane of course. So ba
ck to the airport in the morning to pull the cowl, test the stator, replace
the regulator, and find the oil leak and hopefully fix it for sure. Back
up plan is load the plane on the trailer and haul it as time is growing sho
rt. Life is an adventure, and I'm up for it.

Like Bud and Anita, Linda and I are double vaxed and planning to attend.
Our local forecast for next Monday and Tuesday calls for rain, so we will b
e driving.
Would anyone here consider attending an Engineering Meeting (Wednesday
or Thursday)?
Cheers,
