Happy Saturday to MS

[Stephen]

Hi MS. Happy Saturday morning for those of you in the US and afternoon/etc for those abroad. I just took a look at the sat precipitation map and it looks like this:

 

 

I'm thinking we get out there and show our Mooneys some love...

Pictures or it never happened.

It looks good for most of us. I came from Dallas yesterday to Centennial (Denver). I only got about 1/2 hour of IMC. I'm here visiting my son in Castle Rock, to help him replace a head gasket on his wife's Prius. I'm having to adapt to trying to get enough oxygen at 6700 feet.

It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood!  

December 07, 1941.   Thank you Veterans!

Wasn’t in a Mooney today but I just got back from practicing landings for a couple hours.  It really was nice out today. Little overcast over Chicago now but not bad.  Lots of activity at KDPA today.

Best I can do today. These were take at 4:51pm on Tuesday near Lake Greenwood SC.

Just out doing some Christmas shopping in the Mooney today.

Were having quite the winter storm out west wind blowing hard enough to shake the house. The western storm door has opened which is great news for California.

I went out for lunch then buzzed some boats on the lake (safely and legally of course)

Unfortunately, mine is a little taken apart because I am putting in a Rieff Preheater.   Finished the epoxy today and waiting for it to cure.  A&P will come by Monday to inspect.

Seems to be a mismatch between MIm20c’s handle and the length of his cargo hold!

Xmas is going to be HUGE! in MI.

Best regards,

Heading to the airport now...

I see the pre heater sitting there by the nose wheel, can't for the life of me figure out where it will fit under the cowling

3.5 in the Mooney today. First big Mooney trip. Fetched Mrs. Steingar back from Alma Mi. Thank goodness for the Mooney. Without it I’d still be driving.

I’m still a(n older) student pilot.  Very boring 172.

You'd still be driving TO Michigan, rather than being at home with her.

Greetings from Mammoth Mountain where gusts are over 60mph. What is usually a 1:45 flight was a 7:30 drive! The Mooney has spoiled me.

I think that definately qualifies as showing some love to your Mooney!

I guess it does.  Rieff says 2-4 hours to install.  Maybe if you've done it before, but I'm going on  6+ now.  But, I'm learning a lot in the process and fixing a few other minor things.  Very fortunate to have an A&P that is willing to give me advice and inspect the install.

I know what you mean

 Have a friend who lives at 8500' ... try to go up the stairs and it you definately feel the rarified air.

Hey, I think that's @daver328's old airplane.  And it seems he's deleted his account and all of his content.  That's too bad. 

Does anyone know what happened to him?  Maybe @RogueOne ?

[ArtVandelay]

Took advantage of some tail winds...no outside pictures as most of the trip was flying over a cloud layer.

It is Dave's old airplane.  He got a Cessna 310.
