It looks like you picked a good one to push West Rusty !! NOAA is reporting
sustained winds of 175 mph. Man that is getting to be some Real hurricane ,
unlike the baby it was when it passed south of here. Really feel for those folks
in its path. But at least you have warning time to move out of its path. It
still hurts when you come back and see all the damage it does to what you've
worked hard to obtain.
Bernie, ready to fly when weather breaks.
Now I feel bad
about joking us S. Florida folks sending Katrina up to you gulf
guys.
I hope you all come out of it ok. Please
let us know how you fair.
Hi John,
It never hurts to joke about these things. The
storm's gonna do what it's gonna do, so we might as well try to find some
humor in it. This is turning out to be one HUGE storm, though.
Fortunately for me, it's still predicted to go west of us by a reasonably safe
margin. Assuming there's no unexpected turning, I'm cautiously
optimistic that we won't get more than tropical storm winds. I'd be
willing to bet this will take over the number one spot for costliest storms of
all time.
Rusty - did you sell the RV?
Maybe. He's certainly interested, but we decided he
should take a week to think about it, so I should have an answer by next
weekend. He's a nice guy, with lots of experimental experience,
and at least two previous RV-3's. He's also an
A&P. He's been on the other list for a while, but didn't know
about this one, so I sent him the info to join up. Hopefully he will,
because he'll end up with a rotary eventually, whether he buys mine or
not.
Cheers,
Rusty (WNW is good)
