OK, Harry, but did the coffee spill out?

I just found the "perfect" cockpit fresh intake vent air cover....simple, no cost, and disposable.
Perhaps all cockpit intake fresh air holes are not the same, but I think so..
Also, early coupes did not have fresh air inlet holes in the nose cowl....so this applies only to later models and to modified earlier models.
As the weather gets cooler, one hopes to keep out the cold air...and the fresh air inlet valve just doesn't do a very good job.....so, finding a cover seems easy. In the past I have just used a cover of tape, placed over the hole..works fine....
Yesterday, as I starter to fly, I thought, gosh It sure would be good to find a simple cover. I had stopped at Hardie's for a small cup of coffee.....foam cup type..
The bottom of the cup fit exactly in the air inlet hole. I carefully cut the bottom of the cup off, about 3/16 inch up the cup......and installed the new cover in place...bottom side to the screen. The sides of the cover nicely lock into place without any tape, etc., and stayed there throughout my 2 hour flight....
