Hi Folks:  

Got the airplane pushed out, topped off, and loaded.  Come to find out my Hawker Odyssey Battery I bought in 2006 or 2007 decided this morning it was time to die.  Started great last time I flew two days ago.  

I have a new lithium battery jump start that I brought along today for its first flight.  Used it before we got off the ground.  BTW, we didn't get off the ground.  Got it going, ran it 15 minutes while I finished loading.  Shut it down, got in and it failed to start.  Called Bryan Melborn and canceled out Lakeland this year.  By the time I got a replacement it would have been too late to fly today.  

Thursday is doable, wind is out of the WNW, but there's lots of wind, plus 23 mph.  

Looks like this will be the first S&F I have missed since my first in 1984.  Hopefully, there will be next year.  

All the preparation didn't hurt a thing.  I got the MKIII cleaned up, tuned up, VG'd, and got me back into the swing of aviation again.  I'll be ready to fly West come next September.

I'm sorry to hear of your misfortune John. I'm sure they'll miss ya. I remounted my little 377 today on my Firestar 1. It's been sealed away since 1990. It'll be ready start next week?
