Clickbait subject line. Gotcha <LOL> ;^)
But yeah, I did get to fly my RV-6 Monday morning (the first time in 25 days). Some outer bands of Beryl were on top of N.TX, and I *did* get to fly through some light rain, which was a welcome break from our last two weeks. It was 77*F Monday a.m. Mental gyros re-calibrated for a bit. .3hrs is all it takes…. Hope the folks in the path didn't/don't get any damage.
ITEM!: Working on a possible visit from Garmin to our airport later this week, play with some of the avionics in a kiosk before OSH. Talk to a rep with no crowd. More when I know it.

I have ~50 hours on my -9A since first flight in April, and it's been a dream to fly. No major squawks, but one annoying minor one -- on warmer days (>70 OAT) when heat soaked I get what sounds like an occasional miss at low power. It is not a major hiccup or unnerving -- it sounds like a single...
