...getting it started.
Friday before the forecast winds got too high took a buddy back to his home airport around 20 miles away after he dropped off his RV-8 at Monk’s for an annual. Nothing to report except a bumpy ride <g>.

Saturday it was WINDY in N.TX. Got the other toy charged up, washed and checked over for the summer (purchased used 17 years ago). Took the long way home.
