Get off my lawn!

I wish we could get a break for a full day and have clear weather for just a day. Actually just a few hours on one day would be enough. We received another .20 inch or rain last night.

Haven't they heard? Smoking is bad for you!
And I always thought Canadians are supposed to be polite!

We were out and about most of the weekend. On the way back from the fights Saturday night we decided blue is a much brighter flavor than yellow.

Welp, driving the Cayenne home...you just don't miss the power as it gradually goes. Felt like the difference between driving my Cayenne S and driving the Cayenne Turbo! Man, that sucker really scoots.
Oldest bro Bob had a heart attack last night. They put in 3 stints. He has already had bypass surgery. Guess I get to drive to Tulsa this evening to go visit.

Give it a year Richard. You eventually become immune to the power. Trust me on that.

Yeah, especially if he ends up recoveing at my house like his last 2 heart surgeries!!!
Do NOT like trying to take care of someone that does NOT follow doctors orders and has complications because of it.

Hey Brent how much run way do you think I need to tell dad he needs for one of those safe-tech planes with a 50" wingspan. I can't talk him into the little one.

I hand launch our Corsair and belly land it in the grass so it doesn't use a lot of runway. That said, I use a lot of runway because I can't put it down exactly where I want to just yet. Maybe within 50' or so. They just glide forever it seems. The larger wingspan will be worse.
The Corsair is 46" or 48" wingspan. Easy to hand launch if it is trimmed properly.
