Hi Folks:



I sent some posts to the Kolb List earlier, each with a photo attached.  That was three hours ago.  Still no posts.



If I resend, the old posts will arrive.

Hi Folks:



Got to fly a little yesterday, in addition to washing Miss P'fer for the 

first time in 9 months.  She is 50 lbs lighter now.



Was a beautiful Sunday afternoon, just a little wind out of the NW.  I flew 

the Tallapoosa River, not far from Wetumpka Airport.  My son, Mike, was 

going to be running the river in his jon boat.  Found Mike and his buddy on 

a short, rough sand bar.   Too short and rough, I chose a gravel bar up 

stream about a half mile.  Now that I have the first gravel bar out of the 

way, the next one will be a lot more fun and not nearly as intimidating as 

this one was.

That was my first off field landing since the first part of last year.  I 

have only logged 3 hours air time since 10 May 2010.



Does my mkIII fly any better clean?  Couldn't really tell any difference.

Looks great John  Glad to see you back in the saddle again posting all the great pics of all your flying adventures 

   But I have to ask where did you ditch the 50 lbs I hope it wasn't just the grime you washed off your airplane

    

   Cold weather is really biting us here in Maine now so I probably wont be flying for a while -15 degrees this morning

Weather got better here for a few days.  Supposed to start raining tonight 

and get cold again here.  Glad I was able to get out and do some flying 

while it was nice.



Washed 50 lbs of crud off the mkIII after sitting in the hanger on the farm 

for 9 months.  Last time I washed her was just before Sun and Fun 2010.



Got word it was in the 50's at Larry Cottrell's Rock House.  Looks like 

warmer days are coming for Alabama.

I know many pilots and a few true aviators. There is a distinct difference that I have the greatest respect for.
