That's great news, John. So glad to hear both of you.

Sam & John had 3 days of flying to get home to Washington and Oregon. We’ll do
a debrief sometime.
In a nutshell I logged 38.3 Hobbs hours for the round trip. Sam logged the
actual flight times and except for the first and last legs our times were the
same. N133RM burns fuel at a higher rate partially to cool the engine and I
pumped about 182 gallons. So that comes out to 4.75GPH but we had some extended
ground runs.
Overall it was a great trip. We had some equipment challenges and we worked
through everything.
On the way to MVN we had some high temps and high crosswinds. Like Faith SD at
97F and 12-15 knots 90 degrees to the runway. Kind of exciting.
On the way home we faced some stiff headwinds like 44mph directly on the nose
going past STL. Crossing the mountains had us in smoke and high moisture
content. Pulling the carb heat dropped 300 rpm so you cannot tell me that a
slide carb/ injector won’t make ice.
We parted ways in Lewiston, ID Wednesday afternoon. That was kind of brutal as
Sam & I had an adventure flying to the Gathering and back home again.. But
we’re glad to be home.
Between the 2 of we have some photos to share at a later time. Until then, Fly
them if you have them or keep building if you’re not done yet!
Finally, thank you to everyone who was able to make it to the Gathering.
Weather dealt a rough hand to those flying in but it was certainly worth it.
Now to tote up the CC bill…
