seems that there will be a flurry of activity then posts die off for awhile then it will come back.  I would like to think it is because everyone is out enjoying the weather and flying the planes instead of the keyboards.

See, Leni, you've got this all wrong. 

Everyone here is supposed to be writing (with movies and photos) all their adventures and building schemes so I have something to inspire me while I'm working on my shop, so that I can then work on my plane when the shop is done!

Either that or come down here and take me flying.

We're probably getting about the same as you, Skysailor.  Just finishing a week of high 80s and 90s with humidity to match.  Rain this weekend then more seasonable next week, 70s and 80s.

not avid shots, but a few shots of a place we flew to last week to drop off and pick up other clients.  The cabin was built by a guy named Dick Proenneke in 1967.  The craftsmanship was unbelievable.  The door hinges and door latches were a work of art and he only had hand tools some of which he made himself.  He lived out here for 30 yrs.  There are several movies and books about him.  Was a nice flight from Island Lake thru Lake Clark Pass to Telequanna Lake.

Hey guys.. I just got back from a 5 day mission. 42 hours of flight time, 3 states, 4 countries (including Iraq) and half a million pounds of cargo moved in 5 days. We were gone 105 hours and worked 70 of it. Not too shabby of a trip. It's nice when there quick but then it takes  a few days to recover afterwards.. I'm beat. Hope to get a few hours to work on my Avid on Sunday.

[akflyer 1427]

damn, sounds like a pretty good marathon.  Glad your back in one piece, now get back to work on the avid
