We got some badly needed rain recently. Pretty close to the first this
year. our little creek swelled up well beyond its banks with all of the
recent rain. (see attached picture below) I was curious whether or not the
Sheep head range behind us got any of it, and was hoping that there was
enough to fill the ponds up there. We have had a pretty serious drought for
the last three or four years, with every thing drying up last year. Our
normal water for the year is reputed to be 4.5 inches. Not a whole lot. The
rain that we got was in excess of 1 inch. It appears that most of it sunk
into the ground where it belongs. The weather abated enough that I rolled
out the Kolb to get a first hand view.

The video is in 1080 HD, so if your connection is a bit slow and jerky,
after you start it, pause it and let the down load get far enough ahead
that it will run without jerking, or reduce the file by clicking on the
highlighted "HD".
Since I needed to get up to 6000 feet, I began my flight using my HACman
system that allows me to adjust my fuel mixture, thus leaning it out. The
normal fuel burn listed for for the HKS is 3 gph. I ran the engine at max
cruise of 5800 RPM's for most of the flight. After arriving back at the
hangar showing 66 minutes on the meter. However there was warm up and taxi
time in there as well. Even so I saved 1/2 gallon of fuel by using it.
