LOL! Well, joking aside, I would sure like to meet all these names in person also. Maybe one of these days.... Of course that would mean actually FLYING my 150, something that hasn't happened since December 12, 2021 Kids' activities and such are at a lull for a bit so I may be able t squeeze a flight in here in the not so distant future if the weather cooperates. It has gotten much more "spring like" around here, at least as far as the temps go - many days are above freezing now. But there is so much snow it will be a long time melting - and honestly that is exactly what we want. A slow melt ensures more of that moisture soaks into the ground, and after two drought-like summers the famers are crying for that moisture.

On the plus side (and if it can be believed (haha) they are predicting a cooler April (not so good) and a warmer than normal summer As long as we get some rain worked into the warm temps, like the old days, it should be great. Of course, it is looking like my summer will once again be swallowed by renovations at our cottage. This happened all last summer, so that limited my flying time. Oh well..... first world problems!

If anyone is interested, AvWeb did a comparison on tie down systems waaay back in 2009. It's worth the four minutes and twenty-four seconds of your time. There are some good comments that mention some great considerations regarding the way they tested them, so make sure to read these.

As with anything, take the advertising hype for these systems as just that. The best thing to do is ask pilots that have used the systems and get their feedback.

Ron Keating - the trick is to figure out which valleys in PA - Ron Stewart is flying in - and then make sure you are in a DIFFERENT valley. You will stay drier......
