Finally a nice day!

After two weeks of below zero, wind or low ceilings we finally got a decent day for flying. Have about 4 inches of new powder on the snow base so every landing is like a "whoomp" if you feel it at all. I think this has been only my third or forth time out this winter. Either the weather had been lousy or something else crops up. 122.9 sounded like a talkathon today so everyone must have been breaking cabin fever. It's amazing how the little 65 horse performs in the cold weather, but it could use a few more horses to get off the ground with the ski drag.
Off next week to visit our youngest and his wife in San Antonio. Probably no ski flying there

. Actually, I'm supposed to meet a guy down there who recently bought a Luscomb 
that a friend of mine's uncle bought brand new in 1959. Traced it down to the San Antonio area and I contacted the guy to have look at it. Might even get a ride : you never know. 
. Weather is improving though. It's +40 right now, but supposed to drop to -5 tomorrow night. Will someone explain to me why we live here (other than it's close to Oshkosh)?. If the weather is slowing down your deliveries, you must be selling planes. How about the new Champs?
