    Default Trip to Factory

    Bill Prokes and I loaded up 78KA for a trip up to
    the Factory. About 75 degrees, sunny and clear
    at CHD. By the time we arrived at ELY we had
    snow showers and 25 gusting to 35. Bill landed
    on 30, "the ultralite runway", and very carefully
    taxied to fuel. When we were ready to takeoff
    he snapped a shot, notice I am leaning into the
    wind. It began to clear as we flew North and we
    got a shot of a Cumulus Granitus. Good headwind
    all the way, last shot is the sock at Homedale.
    Good fun and Bill was soon at work fitting the new
    prototype cowls.

    Glad no one picked up on the last sentence of your post but me.
