Sunday - blus skies

walked out to hangar
checked fuel and oil
inflated tires as they looked a little soft - cold wx
polished canopy bubble
preflighted

opened hangar doors and pushed her out

decided to walk the strip - moleholes, hoof prints, etc

mmmmnn, 10 yards down the strip and my feet were soaking wet and I'd left a trail of muddy footprints!

strip still very waterlogged. Go v NO GO

yes I could have gone but then I'd have left 3 scars on the strip and would have had to wash down the aeroplane afterwards.

maybe not old versus bold but more lazy/thoughtful v rash and impetuous!

opened a red bordeaux, which I quaffed whilst I polished the aeroplane accompanied by Vibe FM - so not that old!

really hoping that this week's cold snap has a beneficial effect as the 2003 aero-comp sequences have been published and I need to practice.
