Well, crappy weather up here for another week. Last time I went up about a week ago I was almost instantly in clouds. Took off in one direction and did a 180 and landed the opposite direction. The 10 day forecast shows no flying. Ugg!

yeah, not as many good days here for riding a bike in January as last year, so far. perhaps the Milankovitch cycles are catching up with us and our current interglacial period.
Discussion with my wife last night included how to battle an oncoming glacier. Our conclusion was to make a picnic on the ice and go for the ride.

one more flight this week before the snow arrives...
Hickory Flats is known for some of the best agriculture soil in the area. something to do with how the glaciers sifted the earth.
+4C today in flight, oil temp = 178F, CHT avg 315F. connected my dehydrator return line. it was pumping out steam from the inflow.
**************
if it wasn't for the glaciers, the Ohio landscape would probably look a lot like Kentucky. eroded shale and limestone... and some coal. amazing what millions of years of erosion will do.
