After securing 56 lbs of cargo in the front pit, before dawn this morning, I called weather brief, and he said "Have you looked at the weather this morning on your route of flight ??" I thought...hummmm...this can't be good. It turns out there is a HUGE system all up through my flight path, with the worst of it around Kansas City. Tops at 50,000, 1 mile visibility, hail, and all kinds of nasty stuff, and moving East...you get the picture. He said I might be able to get through between 9am and 12pm, but this is a big storm. Not worth the risk. My only hope of making Brodhead this year, is if this system is through enough later on today, and I could make the North side of Kansas City, and find a place to pitch my tent, then make the remainder of the trip on Saturday morning.

Since I can't go this year I was sitting around this morning feeling sorry for myself and pulled up the DUATS weather graphics. Ain't no way I could have gone today. The same front that is causing you problems stretches all the way to Maine, and I would have to cross it somewhere or other. The mountains in your old stomping grounds are IFR or marginal VFR today. By this afternoon it is gonna get worse for me, but you might be able to get out - particularly if you go north first, then east towards Wisconsin. For me, it looks like I wouldn't be able to make it to Brodhead until Monday at the earliest. Just as well i can't go this year - I'd really be crying if I had everything in place but the weather shut me down. Jack Phillips Raleigh, NC Hoping to get some Pietable weather sometime this weekend. -----Original Message----- [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Rcaprd@aol.com Sent: Friday, July 21, 2006 11:34 AM Well, things just haven't been working out.

We'll go again in 2007 maybe, eh Jack ? Best wishes to you Chuck. I know you'll make wise choices on go/no-go. Things in the weather look like they have stalled out----I was hoping for the guys flying that this mess would have cleared east by now.

My departure at OEO is just clearing up nicely but now I see a line of storms moving into Brodhead. I'll sit and wait. Patience is saftey.

Nexrad is showing a system just sort of squatting on Brodhead. Doesn't look to be moving out very fast either.

The head is heated to expand it, and the guide chilled in the freezer prior to pressing the guide in, making for a TIGHT fit. I can buy guides using the bore diameter's I need, but the places I've called only list them by oversize (+.010, +.020, etc) rather than by actual O.D, so I'll need them to mic what they have so I get the right size (or perhaps I should say oversize) Thanks, Dave in Panacea > > > > > TABLE OF LIMITS Min.

But I'll look at the bright side. I have a whole year to plan next years trip. That might even be enough time to do something about the WX. I'll get to work on it right away.
