We came on home today, so no plans for us to grab BBQ in Carthage tomorro
w.
The return home took 8 hours, of which 2.4 were airborne, and the remaind
er in various FBO's waiting for the radar to show a clear path. We stopped
30 miles from Grand Strand for cheap fuel at KCPC, and had the worst case
of vapor lock I have ever experienced. It too an hour and a half before th
e engine would start and stay running more than a second or two. As an asi
de, I believe my second Facet boost pump is all show and no go, so time to
replace it with my third one in 700 hours. Might explain why the electric
solenoid primer system didn't seem to help getting any fuel to the engine w
hile attempting a hot start. Later, we had not red but pink (really bad) r
adar returns blocking out final 75 miles home this afternoon, so we got to
know the Danville FBO real well while we waited it out.
Safe home now, shortly before the temp/dewpoint spread snapped shut like
a trap and filled out valley here with thick fog which is blocking the full
moon and any chance we might have had of seeing the left-over Perseids ton
ight. Myrtle was wall to wall people, mostly of the squealing toddler vari
ety, and not a beach we will be doing again any time soon. Glad to be back
, and looking forward to the next get together, whether by plane or motorcy
cle :-)

Yeah, Ocracoke is a repeatable trip, to be sure!
I'm looking to things that need doing on the 6A, and it's a long and growing
list. Know of a source for SS wheel pant brackets for nose wheels?
Attawayair evidently makes them only for the mains. Darned aluminum is not
up to the punishment on a Van's nose gear. My brackets are once again
cracked about all the way through. (Turf strips...)
It's also battery replacement time, transponder troubleshooting time, and of
course, time to repack the wheel bearings. Maybe it's time to get out of
aviation with my sanity!

Are they flat stock, like the mains (on my -4)? I bought some stainless
sheet from a local scrap yard & used a neighbor's plasma cutter to cut
them using the old aluminum part as a pattern. Relatively easy; no
problems so far.
