The-sky-captain Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 I went to the hangar today to plug the plane in for a later flight this afternoon. No Bueno, the padlock was frozen and the key would not open it. On top of that the sliding doors are frozen to the ground! It was 14 degrees with light snow. Mother nature isn't supposed to act like this in the south. Quote
ryoder Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Dude I had the ac on today. It's not cold. Yet in Florida. The cold front is moving in though. Quote
Hank Posted January 4, 2015 Report Posted January 4, 2015 Careful, I shot some Tri Flow into my hangar door padlock in weather like that. It would not lock again . . . It's 55° here now, supposed to go into the 60's before freezing hard overnight by midweek. Quote

Here's the trick - take it from a Northern Mooneyspacer - coat your key in wd40 and squirt your lock soaked with the stuff....it should help ALOT. FIKI for keys. 2 Quote

1964-M20E Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 I want to know what part of the south Okalahoma is located in? Anything north of I-10 is too far north for me to live but I don’t mind visiting. Quote
kmyfm20s Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Put your tongue on the lock to warm it up, I hear it works every time! 2 Quote

Piloto Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 80F today at KFXE. The only ice I saw was at the refrigerator when pulling out a Coke. Went by the beach to watch those Canadian girls in bikini in the water with my new cataract replacement lenses, what a view!!!. Had lunch at a sidewalk cafe facing the beach. José 4 Quote
Guest Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 Jose' If those Canadian girls were sharing the one bikini, it must have been quite a site! Lucky you had your eyes re done. Clarence Quote

aviatoreb Posted January 5, 2015 Report Posted January 5, 2015 As a kid I learned never to stick my tongue on frozen stuff because it may get stuck frozen. José Its true - it really happens. When my kids were very little - one of my boys says one of the other kids on the bus got his tongue stuck to the window of the bus. :-( Quote
