Finally a decent day here in the west. I don't need to tell any of you that this winter has been a bit of a test. Some of you are still getting hammered, while we are beginning to see an improvement in the weather. I have only flown three times this year, mostly due to the fact that I just don't want to deal with the cold and wind. I can only praise retirement that allows me to say "Screw it - tomorrow might be better."
We have had a serious amount of moisture this year for a desert. The Owyhee area, (mostly in Idaho) has had 213 percent of the normal rainfall. Of course no one needs to tell anyone near any of the Eastern rivers about high water. None of the above should be construed as whining about the weather, it is merely an explanation of current events.
I have had a lot of honey do's to deal with this year, so the few days that were flyable were ignored to get done.
The rafting season here on the Owyhee runs from April ( when the snow melt raises the river high enough to cover the rocks) to generally June 1st. This year it will probably go to the end of June. I have felt a bit sorry for the rafters on some of the weeks when I know they had to freeze almost all appendages off before getting to the take out some 50 miles north.
Well today I was able to roll out "Dart" and go check on the river and see if I could remember how to fly her. I hooked up the camera and shot video until the batteries wore out. There has been some change to YouTube since I last uploaded a video, which gave me some trouble. My video's are under larry6080m.
