It is the home of Larry C. I am loading my MKIII, getting ready to fly east this morning through: Buhl, ID Preston, ID Kemmerer, WY Rock Springs, WY Laramie, WY Goodland, KS Great Bend, KS Neosho, MO Searcy, AR Tunica, MS Columbus, MS Titus, AL With a little luck I can make it in 3 each 8 hour flight days. More realistically, will probably take 4 each 6 hour flight days. A few years ago I could make the 8 hour days easily, but at 73 years old, ain't got as much spunk as I used to have. Got about 1,900 sm to fly in 24 flight hours. Not ready to come home, but it is time. My chores are waiting on me. Will try to keep you all posted on my progress as computers and time are available. john h mkIII Rock House, near Burns Junction, OR ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:15:41 AM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: New wheels, tires, axles and brakes for my Mark II From: "cristalclear13" John Hauck wrote: > > Don't worry.

By far most of the motels here are run by Indians. (not Red Indians) Smallies, and also the big chains - Hilton, Ramada, etc. They do a good job too; hardworking, honest. I think. May have a Beneteau 523 to bring up from the VI's in a couple weex. Hope so. Prolly cooler there than here!

When I flew into the barn through starting the engine when the throttle was open the insurance Company sent an assessor .It was obvious that the starboard wing had to be rebuilt. There was some discussion over possible twisting of the cage due to the backwards movement of the wing. This was decided in consultation with the Inspector and the cage was condemned. This meant a total strip of instruments etc and rebuild of the whole front end. Including the car I managed to drive the nose cone into I think that the bill was in excess of 20,000 pounds. The insurers paid up with no quibble. > > On the other hand my partner, when we had the Aerostar, was always worried because if the two of us took off with a full fuel load we were above the certified weight. The problem was not that the plane wouldn`t handle it but because if we took off overweight we were no longer classed as a `microlight` and we were into a whole new ballgame. We were a Light Aircraft and therefore outside our insured category > He was afraid that if we crunched it was a fairly simple matter to back calculate what our take off weight had been and that would be used to let the insurers of the hook. > > Incidentally I employed a couple of guys from the local carwash to wash my plane yesterday. Just to smarten it up before the prospective buyers start lining up to view it. > There are hundreds of teams of men all over the UK who have moved into disused garage sites and set up car washes. Of course the garages had sumps already built to in to stop oil and muck going down the drains. Electricity and water were laid on. Just waiting for someone to find a use for them. These guys are usually Polish. I know one lot who are Lithuanians and the guys I used are, would you believe it from Iraq. > They all do a fast and reasonably priced job.It is not easy as they are in the cold and wet all day, usually no resting facilities or shelter if it pours. I am sure the income tax is being wangled as no one knows how much money they take in a day.. Probably all sorts of `elf and safety issues being ignored as well. > We have several million unemployed in the UK but I have not found a team of car washers who are English.
