I figured you were in a Mexican prison by
now :-)
No but we did rent a Jeep and went for a drive through the
mountains, where we got stopped at an army roadblock. I think they were
looking for drugs, but they spoke no English and I spoke no Spanish. I must have
looked like an idiot flipping through my little English-Spanish dictionary,
while they stood all around our jeep with guns. Then we showed them
our Canadian passports and they let us go. At least I think they said we could
go. So I went. Quickly.
It was +30C when we left Ixtapa and 4 hours later it
was -30C and a snowstorm when we arrived in Calgary. A bit much even for a
winter boy like me. This weekend warmed up to -15C so I figured it was warm
enough to go up and work on the plane.
Latest report from Tracy has my EM2 almost ready to ship,
and I'm making a few changes in the fuel system, so I'm hoping to be back in the
air with all updates around March 1st, so hopefully I can give a few reports. Oh
yeah, then I'd better get around to getting a pilots
license!
How's your EM2? Any comments for us? Please don't try to
weld it into the RV3 - just use a few screws :-)
