Hey all! It's Cristal. The article on the front of the AOPA training magazine inspired me. It said, "No Excuses! Find a way to fly!" So I saved up my change (and hubby even donated his for my cause!) and I finally got my BFR! I also found some time (had a few days off from work and found a sitter) to see what damage my Kolb Mark II has from setting up so long without flying since the baby came 6 weeks early I didn't get a chance to prepare the plane to set.
I've taken apart my carbs and will have to replace some things. That ethanol loaded gasoline really gunked up the carbs and fuel filter. What a mess. My battery is also corroded. I'll be saving up some more change to get my replacement parts. Going to clean out the plastic gas tanks I have, take off the exhaust and check the rings and pistons. Now I only have Saturdays to work on it (if I find a sitter) so it may be a while before Merry Dawn is back in the air. (I can tell she's missing it!  )
On a better note, my newest little family member, Abigail, is doing just fine and is growing like crazy!

Cristal that's great. Glad to hear you are doing well and have the drive in your heart to continue flying and maintaining your Kolb with all you have going on. Still look forward to meeting you one day. Best wishes!
