Mornin’ all,
When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

Mornin gents.

Overcast, humid, scattered showers most of the time, and temps in the 70s to 80s.

About 5 months or less to no more Mondays, and every day is Saturday.

Glad you got home OK and safe Skip. It's always nice to have your k9 kids go crazy over you when you get home.

I shot a practical pistol match Saturday morning. I didn't get any penalties, and my accuracy was fine, but my speed was mediocre so I don't have high hopes for a decent finish. I really need more practice.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

Hey Mike, I talked with my friend that used to own the Mustang and the Corsair. He told me that the Corsair burned about 2 gallons per minute at cruse, and the Mustang was 1 gallon per minute. The cruse speeds were 250 knots for the Mustang and 180 to 200 knots for the Corsair.
He said if he leaned out the mixture on the Corsair and slowed it down to the 180 knots, he could get it down to 1.5 gallons per hour. He told me the manager at the FBO loved to see him land his Corsair.

Heya Lynn, and there was me complaining at the weekend about my ~27mpg I get out of my Subaru!

Corsairs and Thunderbolts with that big radial are just cool though ;)

Afternoon gents.

Not bad here. Chance of rain, and the humidity is high, but the temps aren't supposed to get above mid 80s, and the humidity is supposed to drop.
