Yep... and it's gone already. Nothing to shovel, no
salt holes on cars... well, not from snow melt,
anyway. Today, it's about 62 deg, wind about 5 from
the south, and not a cloud anywhere.
All the beauty of snow in the pines but none of the
hassle!

I couldn't resist this -- its midnight Christmas Eve and I was idly looking

Okay. Your going to have to explain that one. You can change the names to

That one is easy. We got our first round in when the 'sprinkles' started. We

Mother Nature, the CD called for a Lunch Break and we proceeded to the chow
line. About the time everyone's hands were full with plates
Here's another downside. NO MOUNTAINS. Sure it has it's place but flat land
gets tough to stomach after a while.
I pity folks who don't know real sloping. When your setup includes simply
flipping the ON switch, it's hard to imagine lugging and setting up a winch.

Here in Minneapolis, we missed The Big One. Unlike Muncie, the ground is
barely covered with white stuff. However, the temps are minus -10 to -15
below zero. Hi (daytime) temp may hit +2.

January. We schedule

Hell, 59 Deg is shorts and t-shirt weather up here this time of year. Of

We schedule a "Freeze Fly" on New Years Day. A dozen
hardy soulshead out on the surface of a frozen lake launch a few sailplanes
with ahi-starts, hand launch and electric park flyers
Say it ain't so, a dozen is good enough for LSF3 contest
points!
Stop the madness of fun flying! Organize

their Annual Hardy Souls Contest, AMA Sanctioned, on January 1, 2005. We or
someone is going to fly. The Pilot's Meeting is at 0930 and the contest will
be held at the Isle of Wight Field located on Rte 258 between
Musta hit pretty close to the mark to get everyone
typing this close to Christmas Even woke Gordy up!
You mean you're not comfortable at 110 deg. with 90%
humidity? That doesn't seem to bother me too much. I
hope that doesn't mean the Good Lord is trying to tell
me something...
I do envy

My one man club tradition is to get on a big silver bird with the two big A's
on the arse end and head to Arizona for the holidays. Now I know Darwin is
feeling a bit cool in the extremities, but upon leaving Richmand IN yesterday
