This morning I made a flight to Burns, the closest town to  me, to survey and mark the various ponds in that area for an upcoming Falconry  meet. On the whole it was uneventful, even though it got a bit bumpy coming back  over the Mountains at 12 pm.

 I have gotten spoiled since moving here and this is the  first time that I have flown in anything other than the early morning air. Here  is the spot page of my trip. It will be up for at least 7 days before spot wipes  it out.

 If you click on either Hybrid or Satellite you can get an  idea of what the country looks like.

 I flew for 3:45 minutes, fuel burn was 11 gallons  at 21 miles per gallon. I also flew at max cruise which is 5800 RPM's,  climbing to 7000, and the average speed was 65 MPH. I located over 40 ponds that  would hold ducks for us to hunt if we can of course get permission to do so.   I did get a bit of a surprise when I over flew the Burns Airport and found  that it was closed for repair.

 My gas supply was cut off and I had to land in a field at  a friends house, call John H and the wife to go buy a gas can and bring me some  gas. Luckily they had decided to drive to Burns to visit the Dairy Queen and get  a few supplies. For the most part the weather here at this time of the year is  the best that it gets, but it is exceptionally hot causing quite a bit of  thermal activity.

  

 Hopefully every one now has something other than dial up.  If not, I apologize, and will keep my comments and flights to myself in the  future.

Great pictures, thanks!

And something not everybody knows about is that you can resize pictures to just a fraction of the usual bandwidth very easily - check out dis heah:

 Richard you are going to have to be more specific. I was  unsure if you were telling me to make them smaller? I did resize them to 700x  460, they were 16 MB originally. If you would like them smaller, I will make a  note to myself to either do so, or just not send any at  all.

Keep sending the photos.  When I have sent photos, Windows will ask me if I want to reduce the size of the pictures.  These are the ones that appear at the top of peoples' messages.  When you click on them, they enlarge.  Love seeing the photos- from a New Englander's standpoint, you are sending them from a different planet.

 Bill and Russ will of course recognize where this is...

We will have to get you a high resolution camera.  I was there last year, and the detail is incredible.  Looks better from the air than close up on the ground.  I am sure some Sherlock Holmes on the List can figure it out.

Oh, I have a better still camera (and better photos of the castle, too).  I just like this picture because it has the plane and me in the picture (thus keeping it "Kolb related"  ).  The camera in this case is a very tiny (size of a pack of gum) solid state video camera that was rubber banded to the wing strut.

 Work is underway on drafting a new constitution for Iraq.  Why don't we send them ours?  It worked for 200 years, and we don't use it any more.
