Coupers; We finally headed out of Springfield, MO about 0640 this AM against 30 mph headwind. Fortunately I had planned on the winds, because the first fuel stop must have forgot to tell the operator to show up. I quickly picked another not far away, and when we got there the runway was closed for construction. Fortunately the third one was a charm. We had to make an additional stop because of the head winds. But we finally arrived at the Kelch's, in Mequon, WI at 1340 PM after 6 hours of flying. Needless to say, our overall ground speed decreased somewhat today. Al and Lois got home about an hour later, and we got to look at some of the great "stuff" that they have collected. Joel says we spent the whole day flying and he was sad to leave
the Doyle's great hospitality. I think he also missed playing the Nintendo 64, but we certainly do greatly appreciate their kindness. I added the first quart of oil today to the Coupe after changing the oil and filter in Ramona approximately 32 hours ago. I guess all the running at 2650 to 2700 RPM at high altitudes has really seated those rings. Only three more days until the convention, so I suppose many of you are about to get on the road towards College Park. Hope to see you there.
