Bud and all - it looks like I won't be at SnF or anything else for a while.
Here's where we stand in Michigan:
The governor had tried to implement restrictions, but the legislature and
courts said no dice. Now the governor is asking people to govern their own
behavior - what is referred to below as 'managing our personal risk'. To
date we have had over 841,000 cases, and are closing in on 18,000 deaths
---From covid - and I'm guessing every single person thought they were
adequately managing their risk. Yet, someone who already had the disease
managed to transmit to them...
----------------
All the best,
Al Fuller

Steve and Mary,
We sorely miss seeing you all. I hope your "second jab" goes as well as
ours did.
Travel is always tough when we have fear and loathing in the news and
lawmakers decide they know what is best for us. "Papers Please".
Although it is a bit of a rushed and muddy setup, the temperature here is
cool (60's to 80's) and the wind dry and light. In Florida, restaurants and
shopping are open again, although we continue to follow the China example
and everyone wears a useless mask. Anita and I have been getting out for
months and couldn't be more distressed hearing about the lockdowns
continuing outside our area.
Life is full of risk. I thought we the people were to manage our personal
risk. I guess I'm wrong.
The front has passed, the fog is clearing, and the sun will be shining
through to clear skies in a few hours. Another week of Sun 'n Fun about to
happen here in Florida.
All the best to you and Yours,
Bud and Anita Yerly

Dear Bud and Anita,
Yet again no hope of joining you at Sun'n'Fun this year as we are not yet
allowed to travel abroad.
We are enduring the Covid in the UK, Mary and I are waiting our second jab
in the next couple of weeks, and the family is well (only Hannah got the
'bug' but was very lightly affected - thank goodness).
I was looking to see if we could have an engineering meeting in the UK but
the only Hooters is in Nottingham, several hundred miles away, so we will
buy some wings locally and think of you all.
Take care, regards to the family, and all who might remember me in the years
gone by (especially Ira and Jim).
Best wishes,
Steve

be my advancing years, experience, or laziness but I think even I will look
at a more cautious and perhaps slower setup. Even if the plane doesn't get
there until Wednesday, that is fine with me. We'll have a tent for cover, a
place to sit, advertising out, and watch and enjoy the other Type A's
scramble around in the mud and work around the clock.

> My freshly top overhauled engine is leaking oil from the turbo components
like rain. I'm throwing time and parts at that now. The last oil leak is
at the oil catch can area under the turbo (which is wet between the split
also) 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
top of that, although all went extremely well during high power flight test
climbs, 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
never does that. It is always 13 minimum and slightly positive. I ran it
up to 2500 and the voltage rose a bit as did the amps indicating there is
some life there. Then I saw a small pool of oil under the turbo. Either the
voltage regul!
at!
> or has failed (I just put that on in 2007) or my stator has died (I
repaired that in 2006). Frankly a 14 year old part on a 20 year old engine
should last forever don't you think? Except it is an airplane of course.
So back 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.
Backup plan is load the plane on the trailer and haul it as time is growing
short. Life is an adventure, and I'm up for it.
