She flys again!!!, The engine is running great.( Knock on wood) We got the new engine assembled last weekend and ran it monday. Runs great, 2 blades and RRRRRRRRRRRR. We put 1965 cylders, pistons, and heads on the ole jalopy and think we got her all figured out. I flew it for 20 min Friday night, Dad 20 min (1st time since he flew it as a glider), and 2-3 hrs today (Sat), it is running GREAT! My good buddy "Chewy", let us borrow a Snap-On timing light/ tach, and we found our tachometer is WAY THE F____ Off. At max power we indicate 3300rpm, actual is 2750rpm. I did 10 touch and goes tonight at sunset with not even a hic'up. Oil is still indicating a little high on the temp, but much better than 2 months ago. I flew over to Wyncoop airport with another good friend, who is a trans atlantic boeing US Air Capt, who was flying his son's J-3, and the old Corvair powered Piet BLEW THE DOOR OFF THE A-65 CUB! It out climbed, out cruised the Cub. Capt.Dan said I was at least 10mph faster than the Cub! Not too bad for a couple ole country boys who won't give up on the old Chevy. I have some good vidieo of the close formation flying, but it would take me 5 weeks to upload with my dial up. Next question: is anyone going to MERFI? I am. Me and "The Other Shad, (Capt. Dan's son with the Cub), are planning on going up. Mike Cuy?, Frank Pavilga? Skipp Gadd? Don Emch?. I am going to have a cook out (burgers, brats, home grown sweet corn) at my hanger at Chapman Memorial Airport(private and your invited) on the Saturday of the fly in mid afternoon.2-3 pm or so. Skipp, this is on your way home, you can fly home with a full belly, for free, and still make it home before dark. Anyone interested let me know. Skip, If you want to go let me know, you can fly up to my house and we can fly up as a flight of 3 on sat morning (you, me, and a J-3). Sorry this post is so long but I am still Excited (and a little bit drunk from the celibratory beers), But today, shooting wheel landing touch and goes while the sun set and not eating soy beans, or corn stalks was the flying Hi Light of my summer! Shad Let me know if anyone is going to MERFI!!!! Dont let the control tower scare you, all I have is a Sporty's handheld, GET 'ER' DONE!

Breakfast at McDonald's This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!): I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called, "Smile." The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions. I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally. Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son. We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved. As I turned around I smelled a horrible "dirty body" smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was "smiling". His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, "Good day" as he counted the few coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation. I held my tears as I stood there with them. The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, "Coffee is all Miss" because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm). Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand. He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Thank you." I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, "I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope." I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, "That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope." We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given were we able to give. We are not church-goers, but we are believers. That day showed me the pure Light of God's sweet love. I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand. I turned in "my project" and the instructor read it. Then she looked up at me and said, "Can I share this?" I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed. In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student. I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE. There is an Angel sent to watch over you. In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over. An Angel wrote: Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart. God Gives every bird it's food, but He does not throw it into its nest. Send it back, you'll see why! A Box of gold with a secret inside that has n ever been told. This box is priceless but as I see, the treasure inside is precious to me. Today I share this treasure with thee. It's the treasure of friendship you've given me. If this comes back to you then you'll have a friend for life but, if this becomes deleted, you are not a friend. Send this to everyone you consider a friend! This is a magic frog. It will grant you one wish and only one wish, that is, if you decide to send this to others. You can wish for anything. Repeat your wish until you have stopped scrolling. Make it count! FOR YOUR WISH TO COME TRUE YOU HAVE TO SEND IT TO: 3 PEOPLE - YOUR WISH WILL COME TRUE EVENTUALLY 5 PEOPLE - YOUR WISH WILL COME TRU E IN 3 MONTHS 10 PEOPLE - YOUR WISH WILL COME TRUE IN 5 WEEKS 15 PEOPLE - YOUR WISH WILL COME TR UE IN 1 WEEK CAN'T WAIT A WEEK??? 22 PEOPLE - YOUR WISH WILL COME TRUE IN 1 DAY!!!!! REMEMBER, THIS MUST BE SENT OUT THE DAY YOU READ IT FOR YOU TO GET YOUR WISH ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 07:45:12 PM PST US From: RBush96589@aol.com Subject: Pietenpol-List: (no subject) Hey Shad, glad to hear you and Gary had some good luck for a change. enjoy your flying!
