If your PG starts acting goofy assume you are losing oil. As bad as Tuba City turned out to be, continuing on would have meant highway, brush, or forest.
Thanks to the many offers of help and support. It is an awful
Feeling to be stuck. This avocation is not about airplanes as much as it is about people and friends.
