It's too Hot!

[catz631]

I was reading the newspaper this morning with my cup of coffee. There was an article about the local Zoo. It seems it was so hot that a water buffalo evaporated !
Went out to the airfield to fly my plane. I used Pete's (from Hell Paso) advice about putting a block of ice on the engine to cool it down for start but it melted. It's too hot !
Finally got the engine started and flew to the local airport. To heck with taking the doors off. I need to remove the windshield !
Nobody at the local field either as they are all inside ! Its too hot!
Sure wished I lived back in the West again as most of you guys do.

Geez, us folks up in the PNW haven't seen the sun for two months! It's cold, drizzly and foggy. So much for my 150 hour goal for this summer.....

Well, soon we just might have three Kitfoxes in the Cameron Park airpark in the Sierra foothills, just east of Sacramento. The local lore is that unless a storm front is passing through, it is a fly day. We do get hot in the summer - 100s - for a few days (usually cools to low 60s overnight), but the air is dry, snow is rare, and the valley fog in winter is usually a no show at 1300 ft.

We need at least six - three more to go, visitors welcome.

Lowell, who is number three? There is you and Wray and ???

A guy out of Half Moon Bay, you remember that place - I think the SFPD runs their flight ops out of there.

Well, lets get it back on track. We are in St Augustine, It is hot and humid and trying to rain - definitely not flying weather.
