Plenty of thunderstorms in Houston today, but one of the RV guys sent me these pics from yesterday's flight and I thought I would post some.
Since I can't do anything outside in the rain.
And I'm bored.
And the girls are out of the house.
And it's too late to nap.:o

I thought the drilling rig in the background was a nice touch.

As Jackie Gleason said (perhaps only we old geezers would remember)....

Lousy flying weather? My fly works well every day. You must be getting your mankind stuck in the teeth.

That kind of weather is why they invented radar, strikefinders and XM weather on the 396.

But I doubt if a guy that can't even afford to have all three pieces of an empennage can afford to have such devices.

Empennage?

What mendacity!

Stopped him cold. The lack of a reply means he is trying to find a dictionary.

Jerry: Hint: Empennage=Tail Feathers. (three required)

Three are required for the unwashed.

Two will do if the need is speed.

Verbal sparing with the proletariate requires no dictionary ;)

At the end of the day, all the Cessna guys covet one of these........

Wouldja quit coaching Jerry?

That kind of suggesting may require disapprobation and disingenuous thinking on the part of the reader.

And not only that, Lew is going to outdo all of us with his cosmological knowledge of the English language.

Now you really screwed Jerry up. Don't forget he is the guy with pliars.

Arguing with him is like having a battle of the wits with the unarmed.
