I know what you mean Dexter,

 

I've finnally received the parts I need to fix a blokes aircraft that is hangared at the North end of Lake Keepit. But I can't get there. Never mind. It'll be better tomorrow.

Time to work on the world's first float equipped Zephyr! We sure do live in the land of extremes, you're soggy as, whereas on the otherside of the continent I have friends in harm's way near Margaret River.

Bit wet here at the moment too. Still going flying tomorrow, even though it will be in the back of a 737 ;)

Today is a no fly day here too. Got the occasional thunder storm passing through; Each one with its own gust front. The TCUs look very majestic with sun on them in between the storms.

 

We still don't need water wings though Dex!

no flying for me either ,was putting time in to a Eurofox, but it would need floats to use YLIL today.

Was a little rainy in the morning today with a nice thick fog, but then cleared up around lunch time for a nice 30 degree blue sky hot day here on the south coast...

Time to plant rice, Dex!

 

I flew to YWCK last weekend and had toyed with the idea of staying a day or two extra to wait out the windy weather before coming home. Sure glad I chose to vamoose quick smart! I would have been stuck there still; the overnight bag would not have coped with a week or more away.

 

What kit do others carry for such a contingency?

Been shockingly windy here for the last week too and yesterday, well a nice stat high of 1027 so you know what I did :D Literally pulled the cobwebs off and went flying! Looks good mid-week here too so I'll be doing the same again :)
