We are OK at Breakaway Airport but we have had more than our share of rain.  This morning at about 1:00AM a tornado passed over the north end of the runway but it did not touchdown.  Neighbors at the north end  had several old large trees broken off or pushed over and some roof singles blown off.  One oak that was pushed over was over 3 ft in diameter.  I had only 3 - 4 limbs broken on my property at the south end of the runway.  I have managed to fly to Georgetown to play tennis several times in the last two weeks but did need to get several "Special VFR" clearances to get into Georgetown.
 
Bill Bradburry - I have the same type of " intermittent hiccup or miss" you mentioned in your post 5/13/15.  Over the last 6+ years  and 500 hours of flying I've moved injection wires and ignition trigger wires and also replaced my plugs and ignition wires.  None of these changes helped.  It does seam to be more prevalent on the A controller and less on the B controller.  I now ignore it but my wife does not like flying in my RV-7A because of the intermittent hiccup.
