Hi Folks:



Been working on my mkIII every day for several weeks now.  Done everything 

from pulling engine to replace the Lord mounts, to changing the oil and 

filter.  In between, I had to rewire radio, GPS, and the DRE 6000 ANR 

headset.  Damn rat chewed through, not only the power wires, but cut the GPS 

coax cable as well.  Was a good time to replace the radio coax too.  The 

dirty rat also cut a brake line.  I didn't know it until after I had rebuilt 

both master cylinders.  While the seats were out I cleaned up a lot of 

mildew and mold from inside the fuselage, the result of heat and 

condensation while sitting for a year in the hanger unused.  While the 

center section was off I insulated it and the rear of the fuselage for noise 

reduction.  I think it worked.  While flying yesterday I was told my radio 

sounded much better without all the cockpit noise.  It is still noisy as 

Hell, but has been quieted down a little bit.



Plan to depart Gantt International Airport, Sunday afternoon, and fly to 

Panacea, Florida.  There is a grass strip there about a mile from a good 

seafood restaurant.  I'll camp out there and depart early to catch the Kolb 

gang at Lakeland about noon.



Looking forward to seeing the Kolb folks.  Have not seen them since Sun and 

Fun 2010.  Also looking forward to seeing old friends that I usually only 

get to see at Lakeland or Oshkosh.



Kolb asked me if I would tie down Miss P'fer on the space next to theirs. 

Although she is 20 years old with faded, chipped paint, and a lot of fair 

wear and tear, she still draws attention when folks find out a little bit 

about her history.  Miss P'fer still flies like she did when she was new, 

but her pilot has slowed down a bit since then.



See you all in Lakeland.

Fly Safe ! I'm green with envy, it's still too damned cold up north to even think about open cockpit flying.
