The cold grip of winter here in the West has finally loosed. Today the temps soared to a dizzying 61 degrees, with no wind even. It was just too much for a mere mortal to resist. I rolled the Firestar out of the hanger for the first time since Oct, The runway was firm enough to use without damaging it with the tail wheel, so there was nothing to stop me. Every thing checked out and the sky was waiting. My landings were actually pretty good for a change. I did about 12 touch and go's before I decided that if the engine was going to quit, it should have already done so. I left the field and flew over to the ranch next door looking for Coyotes. I only forgot one thing- my chewing gum. I apparently habitually fly with my mouth hanging open and after an hour and half, I finally had to land to get rid of the terminal dry mouth.
Hope that good weather comes to a location near you soon.
