Today my friend and I went out to the airport to start my engines; its been over a month, due to stuff like Christmas, an illness, WX  yadda yadda.
My friend is from sunny southern California of late, he had on jeans! Yours truly had on LONG JOHNS, jeans, and nylon ski wind pants(: I have been a Canuck all my life...
I ask you< "Who is the whimp?"
My deck thermometer showed -5 celcious ( in the sun) it was more like minus 15, plus (hum minus) the wind chill of the props(:
You know what after five minutes after minus 10, its all cold and everyone is equal - my only advantage, I know it gets warmer in March (usually) GRIN

OK both engines started, even though my priming system was not working. The right engine was a little tough to keep going at first, but it was the same way in the autumn.

It was too windy to fly and I need to change the fuel.

But just seeing my plane and hearing her purr did my heart good; though I did not kiss the wing.

Brian, if you are reading this there is warmer weather coming your way! Its going to be around zero here on Thursday (Friday for you(: plus we had  a red sunset.

Cheers,

aka "always the rookie" in the sense of a wonderful sport, just wish we had some of the freedoms of the 1920's with technology of tomorrow
