The owner of this hangar had his office built inside the hangar. What an incentive to spend more time at work. He kept a business jet, a Maule and a few cars in it.

Checkin’ in on our favorite cajun @1964-M20E

Hope everyone is alright. https://www.foxnews.com/us/tornado-louisiana-monroe-severe-weather-outbreak-south-easter-sunday

Keeping it Mooney...This is in honor of Anthony. @carusoam

On of my teachers told me I would never be good at poetry because I'm dyslexic. But so far I've made two vases and a bowl and they're lovely.

Thanks Anthony, I contract with independently owned cable systems to provide advertising sales services to generate another revenue stream for them. It requires installation of equipment that enables our company to insert local TV ads on the most popular cable networks to the local community. We then hire and train a sales team to reach out to the retail business community and create an advertising campaign for them. Our customers are family owned restaurants, furniture stores, auto repair, jewelry stores, auto dealerships, etc. I have relationships that go back 27 years with some of them. These entrepreneurs are the backbone of the American economy and some of the hardest hit by this lock down. By nature they are also some of the most optimistic people on the planet with a great spirit. In the end, they will be the ones that get our economy (and yours) back on track when this is over. I encourage everyone here to please make a point of supporting your local family owned businesses as you are able. Steve

Dogs are loving this quarantine. Our Bella has never been so spoiled as now with walks around the neighborhood and a good rubbing of the ears and neck multiple times a day. Cats too, though they won't freely admit it. Today I was working from home and caught myself staring at that beautiful painting of my Mooney that hangs above my desk. Thought about you @bonaland how you captured that gorgeous halfway point in the flight from Ocala to Dayton so perfectly. Yes in the midst of this zombie apocalypse I found myself smiling. Thank you. This pandemic is a learning opportunity for the powers that be. When the next one comes around it will be handled better, I'm certain. I had just started a new business as of March. It is all but dead and my regular business is down 60%. I have clients that might not re-open when this is over. Yes, it can be depressing but people are resilient. We will rebuild and move forward. We will have a sense of normalcy again. I once asked my grandmother what it was like living during the great depression. She thought about it for a minute and told me it wasn't so bad. She said people helped each other and family was a priority. Community was everything back then. Fortunately we have an online community during this time of holing up. Hang in there bro, happy days are on the way.

Doctor said decaf is better for me....uhh, I don't think so.

From Lycoming:

I've always used tempest filters with no issues, but I always wipe a film of new oil on the o ring before I install the filter. Edit- I used to use tempest in the Skylane, I’ve been using Champion with the Mooney. Still, never had an issue getting them off and always used my finger to wipe some clean oil on before installing. Champion has not given me any problems either.

Looks yummy. I think restaurants are going to be packed when the zombie apocalypse is over. I can't wait to get my hands on a Ribeye steak, cooked medium with a baked potato, butter and sour cream and some sauteed mushrooms. Oh, and an ice cold Miller light. Ummm mmmmm! By the way, Mesquite is spelled incorrectly on the website.

I've always wondered why Long Islanders switch up the “A” and “R” sounds. I’d like a glass of water with my pasta becomes, I'd like a glass of “Wat-ah” with my “Past-er”. Weird stuff.

They will come out. I purchased a plexiglass polish at Sun-n-Fun a few years back as my windscreen was full of micro-scratches. You must use a clean(new) microfiber cloth and a lot of elbow grease. I will snap a pic of the product next time I go to the hangar. I would recommend never wiping the windscreen if it has any kind of dirt on it. The best way to clean is a running hose and your hand. edit: I'm pretty sure this is the product I have. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/lpsealant.php?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIstuwkIy06AIVDFYMCh0uVQBoEAQYByABEgL4b_D_BwE

I noticed there has been no talk of the elephant in the room for several hours but I found this presentation from Captain/Dr. Samuel Philbrick USAF 525 FS/medical element in Anchorage. The presentation is simple and easy to understand as to why we are going through this nightmare. Hope it is useful to some of you.

That thing sucks.

WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM YOUR MUCUS/PHLEGM COLOUR Your immune system has a lot of work to do while fighting off a chest cold. One of your body’s best defenses is to produce mucus to flush the virus or infection out of your system. Phlegm is the name for mucus that is coughed up from your lungs when you have a wet cough. Whether it’s clear, white, yellow or green – the colour and texture of your phlegm can vary when you get sick and even as you get better. Though some colours are more common for certain ailments, the colour of your phlegm is mostly determined by how thick and concentrated the discharge is. Here’s a rundown on some of the more common colours of phlegm and what it might mean for your health: Clear mucus: your body produces this 24/7, usually over a litre a day even when you’re healthy White mucus: your nose is congested which is causing your mucus to become thicker and cloudy a virus may be present Yellow mucus: your cold or flu is progressing and white blood cells are rushing to the site of infection Green mucus: your immune system is working hard and your mucus is thick with dead white blood cells Prolonged production of thick yellow/green phlegm or any other colour (dark red or brown) are a signal to see a doctor to ensure it is nothing more serious.

Another one down with the sickness! Sorry @GeeBee. Please keep us posted on your situation and reach out if you need anything. I've got food that will ship. No toilet paper though.

Same thing as a tyre but designed to operate on vehicles that travel on the “right” side of the road.

Bella the boxer doesn't fly because she gets gas.

I think it would be prudent at this juncture to make sure your household is stocked with at a minimum one month’s supply of groceries. Protein in cans, fresh meat to freeze, carbs and canned veggies. Worse case is you can donate to your local food bank when this blows over. When you are stocking up think about what your neighbor might need to get by and get extra if you can. As long as the water is running, you don't need toilet paper.

What not to use...

@Hyett6420 also, be aware that pneumonia can develop which will need to be treated with anitibiotics.

@Hyett6420 Damn Andrew sorry to hear it. First off, do you need anything? Although you'll probably be over it by the time shipping gets to you. How did it present initially? How has it progressed? How about Andrew#2? Keep us posted. Prayers.
