What are ya bitching at... its highs in the upper 40's low 50's season again. The nice crisp 20 degrees at exit reminds me how much I love this sport. :)


20 degrees? As a Floridian, I wear a sweater when going to the refrigerator.
That artic blast when I open the freezer for ice is too much. ;)

I could deal with the temps, something about winds/lightening and heavy rain that sorta puts a damper on even hop-n-pops...B|

But, then again, you'll be having snow pretty soon too...

We hada a NOTAM for night jumps last Saturday. The lake effect snow :o>:(:S was blowing almost horizontal.

We called beer light and head into town for dinner. Had we waited until 10 or 11 PM we'd have had a chance to jump in 'borderline' night VFR's but we all agreed that it was no major loss that we missed the Frostbite Experience.

We all jumped on Sunday... eventually. Seeing a C-182 "de-iced" with automotive grade scrapers and brushes - while the whine of an interior car warmer emerged through a jumpsuit-filled cowling is quite a site. Definately lo-tech, but environmentally friendly.
I, after a nanosecond of intense thought, went back to bed until about noon.
