Here Comes Winter

I think we saw the last of the beautiful fall weather today as it made room for a cold front to escort in winter. The temperatures were in the low 60's earlier today and now as I write this it's 43 degrees at 10:25 pm.

I put plenty of fresh food out for the birds today in anticipation of the upcoming cold weather this week. The forecast is calling for highs in the lower 40's with night time lows around 32 degrees. There's a chance of snow each day. As you can see from the black capped chickadee in the picture they are happy to dig right in.

Yesterday was a so so day as flying goes. While I had great success with the new Mustang and old favorite bit the dust. The F4U Corsair that Toni liked (The plane from black sheep) was flying along great when suddenly an aileron froze forcing it to nose over and crash with out any hop of recovering. The fuselage cracked in half and the wing came off. The up side is it was not an expensive airplane and can be replaced. I just hate to see it go. The bright side is that I'll soon have a T-28 Trojan to replace it for the time being. The Trojan is the orange and white airplane I used in a previous post about the Mustang.

Tomorrow is election day here in Elyria. I'm really having a hard time motivating my self to go vote. I've lost all faith in our politicians. There is no way I'll vote for Grace and I refuse to vote republican. I really wish they would form a third party in this country that actually represents the voters and not their self interest. Oh well I'm sure there's a school levy to vote no on.

Remember that Everest beyond the limit is on Tuesday night at 10 pm on The Discovery Channel. The episodes get more exciting as they go on. The teaser for tomorrow is "Everest may have claimed this years first victim."

It may be Friday before I get a chance to post again so have a great week. Check back on Wednesday because that's when I would be most likely to post. If not I hope I'll have some interesting things to post on the weekend.
