Just wanted to say thanks to all that reply to the new guys. Very helpful group.
I can't believe how nice most everyone here is and willing to help everyone.
It makes it fun to ask questions and not feel stupid.
Great bunch of people.

Things are a bit boring, not much going on, so here is a "just for fun"
video. Same scenery, different song. I listen to "Pandora" a lot, and I
heard this song on it and was enthralled with it. I went on Amazon and
bought it for .99 cents with the express plan of putting it on a fun video
yet to be made.
It has been winter here for quite a long time, with lots of fog and wind.
Today was quite nice, and since I am going in Wed to get a bone spur
removed from my right foot, it was time for a treat to give me something to
look forward to. They tell me that the full recovery is about 4 months.
That is going to keep me grounded for a lot of the spring flying.
The camera is a Virb, and while the clarity is pretty remarkable, it still
has a little shake to it at times. My preferred cruise speed is of course
the one that causes the most wave and vibration. The best is the slowest
viable speed, and it was my thought that the fast cruise was also stable,
so today I went full cruise rpm's. That gave me some pause because high
70's mph speeds causes some heavy aileron forces. Low to the ground, heavy
ailerons, one needs to pay attention. Still a lot of fun however. I noticed
that sometimes the speed shown is sometimes not the same as what is
realistic. I like to think that my flying speeds are correct, but I
wouldn't swear to it however.

Good flight. Same weather we had at hauck's holler today.
The urge finally hit me. Went over to Gantt IAP and got the old gal out
of the hanger. Dropped both float bowls and drained a good fuel sample.
All looked good. Hand propped the 912 a bit, checked the dip stick,
and hit the starter. A blade or two and the engine fired and ran rather
smoothly for the first time since I landed on my return trip from Oregon
in Sep. Got .5 hours. Was rusty, but could still fly pretty good. Was
tempting fate because of the bent tube brace on the left landing gear
leg mount, but was careful to make a halfway decent landing. One take
off and one landing. That was chance enough until I bite the bullet,
pull the landing gear, and have it repaired.
When I was doing my preflight, I checked the lower tail wires. Low and
behold, there was Alvord and Rock House dust and dirt packed on the wire
and turn buckles. Amazing that stuff stuck on there for several
thousand miles, all the way back to Alabama.
Glad you got to fly today.
Got the RAM back today after two weeks. The Dodge Boys couldn't find
out what my problem was, but didn't charge me anything and gave me a new
Chrysler 300 to drive. I'm not much of a car guy. It felt so good to
get back into that big ole RAM and hit the road for Titus. I don't know
what kind of electronic glitch it had or has, but so far so good. I
worked the 4WD and low range systems hard for a couple hours over at the
farm. Probably went into and out of both more than I have since I
bought the truck two years ago.
My best guess is the original Chrysler batteries failed at two years,
same as their warranty, put a low voltage bug into the computer, and
took a couple tried to purge itself after the new batteries were
installed. I'm hoping so. Not much fun when stuff like that happens.
Good luck on the foot operation. Hoping you'll be up and going long
before 4 months.

As you can probably tell, the msg below, was intended to go back copy,
but didn't.
I apologize for cluttering the system.
