What did you do with your RV this weekend?

Saturday morning I went out and took the RV up for a spin, as it was the first weekend in eight weeks I didn't have an extra paper route. REALLY nice flying!!!

Wasn’t alone - lots of folks getting in some flying before the northern winds arrived mid day.

1041 CST Saturday








Hope you’re having a nice weekend,
dr

Surely somebody else flew their RV this past weekend?!?!
Chime in!

Here's Monday morning 0913 CST.


And don't call me Shirley,

No flying for me over the weekend. It’s downright scary around here on the weekends!

Playing in the dirt (and rocks), instead. My back would’ve preferred flying!

Me too! Been digging with the Kubota, getting ready for a back patio!

Flew down the Bitterroot valley south of Missoula on a nice day in Montana- lots of cold stable air.

Gorgeous fall weather here in central Virginia on Saturday so I figured it was a great day to fly around in circles.

Or actually in a square! After running an airborne VOR check, just for grins, I ran an airspeed test using the NTPS spreadsheet. Unfortunately it was just a bit too bumpy and my standard deviation was 1.5, a figure which was (consulting statistical manual for precise adjective....) TERRIBLE. Oh well, just an excuse to try again later.

Kind of like skiing in Colorado on the weekends! Scary and crowded........then there's I-70 trying to get home...... Nope: no weekend skiing for me.........

Raked leaves and picked up dog poo. When are they going to make a dog with opposable thumbs?

Getting the tail all set up.

Every time I drive between Texas and home in Wyoming, I remember asking a Cajun colleague for directions to somewhere. He thought for a moment and said "Ya can't get there from here."

Have some children. Same thing.

Happy with how my top cowl seals with my baffling. I'm sure I'll need to tweak it in a few spots. Now to RTV the obvious locations around the engine

Attended an Airplanes & Coffee event at MidAmerica Museum of Flight at KOSA on Saturday. Fun looking over all the planes and cars. I really need the Christen Eagle but wife said I’ll need lots of life insurance too! That wasn’t a NO in my book

Braved the nasty elements, including snow, this weekend to diagnose and fix an oil pressure problem on the 6A. Foolishly chose to do it on the ramp instead of moving to hanger. Almost got frostbite.

Washed off/out the desert dust from the new 8 project (Thing 2).
Made the final trim cut on the canopy for Thing 1 before the cold front hit. (messy job)
A while back I designed and printed some clip-on 1/8" gap spacers for the next step (SikaFlex) of Thing 1's canopy. Seem to be working well with some help from spring clamps.
