But I've never seen much wind at Auburn so I think you're right, the local pilots are spoiled! I'm not sure what is typical at Lancaster, but I remember one time passing by there on the way to Palm Springs or Las Vegas or somewhere, and checking the ATIS or ASOS at Lancaster just for grins, and the winds were something like 30 gusting to 40 knots (which explained the turbulence several thousand feet up.) So I'm thinking that the difference in Lancaster wasn't a lack of wind, it was a lack of leaves! :-) Dave > There is one thing I've had to learn to contend with living in Auburn. > Something that wasn't much of a problem in Lancaster.

Meyer" Subject: TeamGrumman-List: RE: Auburn --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: "Michael W. Meyer" You know, I moved away from Boston partly because I just couldn't take New England winters anymore. Last winter, I was talking to a friend back in Boston and complaining about how cold it had been lately in here San Diego. He asked, "Really? How cold is it?" Without thinking much, I answered, "Oh, gee, last night it must have gotten down to 50..." Humans are amazingly adaptable - we can adjust our threshold of whining to suit almost any local conditions. Just give yourself some time ;-) Michael Michael W. Meyer Tiger N74086 Montgomery Field (KMYF) San Diego, CA -----Original Message----- There is one thing I've had to learn to contend with living in Auburn. Something that wasn't much of a problem in Lancaster. What is it? Fall leaves blowing into the hangar when it's windy. Yea, windy. We had 8 knots, gusting to 15 knots yesterday. The fuel guy said, "It's so windy today, no one is flying." I told him he was spoiled and didn't know what a windy day was. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:26:05 PM PST US Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: RE: Auburn From: teamgrumman@AOL.COM --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: teamgrumman@aol.com Hey Mike, that was all tongue-in-cheek. There is NOTHING about Lancaster that is more desirable than Auburn. -----Original Message----- From: michael@flightsked.com To: teamgrumman-list@matronics.com Sent: Fri, 22 Sep 2006 12:27 PM Subject: TeamGrumman-List: RE: Auburn Humans are amazingly adaptable - we can adjust our threshold of whining to suit almost any local conditions.

Gary: I can relate to that. I have a few hundred hours flying in the Midwest. Wind in never aligned with runway and it's always windy. When I moved to California and there was a breeze pilots were complaining about the crosswind.

So I'm thinking that the difference in Lancaster wasn't a lack of wind, it was a lack of leaves! :-) Oh, most definately, it was the lack of leaves. there is a lack of trees as well. A couple of hangar neighbors told me they thought of putting a sand pile in front of my hangar so I'd feel at home.
