Mustang Returns


My Mustang returned to the skies today and flew well other than higher than perfect wind speeds. I managed to fly it twice and both went well. The verdict is still out however until the winds calm down enough to test high rates.
The rest of the day was spent relaxing. I watched the Ohio State game and was delighted to see the beat Wisconsin 38-17. If they win their next two games they will be in the national championship game.
Went out to the garage tonight to get some pork out of the freezer to make some Italian sausage tomorrow. While out there I heard something move and caught a opossum tail moving out of the corner of my eye. So it was into the house to grab a BB gun and flash light. It took me back to my Vietnam days when I was a sniper. (lol) Well old rat tail is still alive because he was gone by the time I returned. He's now made the hit list joining the squirrels. They come under fire every day as they try to raid my bird feeders. I'll keep you updated.
The weather here is getting colder daily. The nights are now down in the low 30's and they days are usually only hitting the mid 50's. I hate to see winter rear his ugly head but I can deal with it until Christmas. After that I begin my count down to spring training and start looking forward to the humming birds returning.
My plans for tomorrow are just enjoying Lori's last day of vacation and getting the planes back in the air before a strong cold front moves through on Monday bringing cold temperatures and high winds with it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Whoa! I just commented on your last post and now I see you "love" winter just as much as I do. Blech!!! Yep, I can barely stand to face January. It's the most dreadful month of the year, imho.

Carl and I were laughing so hard at your BB gun retrieval. Mr. "O" better keep a low profile if he knows what's good for him, eh?
And those darn squirrels. They are sooo determined. That's one thing we don't deal with yet, because there are no trees. Key word: YET.

Well, enjoy that last day with Lori. The first day back to work after vacation is always tough.
Love,
Pone
