It was such a nice evening, I just couldn't not take a flight in the RV-8 after work. I decided to head over to Watsonville and try out the restaurant that I'd found there on the last visit. Now, it is widely known that I do not care that much for Mexican Food that doesn't from a Taco Bell -- more accurately put, it doesn't like me -- but since that's what was at the available fair at this establishment, I decided to give it a try -- sort of. I had a nice plate of "jumbo" coconut shrimp that were surprisingly tasty.

Of particular significance on this trip, however, was some Top Speed testing I did on the way home. At 2500 feet, 2700 RPM, 27.5 Inches of MP, and 1379 F on the hottest EGT, I was getting -- are you ready for this -- 227 MPH TRUE airspeed! At 2500 feet that seemed heck of fast! Sweet! The only downside to 227 MPH? 16.9 GPH fuel flow! Yikes!
