Small group of NW Skyraiders assembled at Tacoma Narrows Airport to practise some stunt for next weekend's fabulous R.F. Stevenson Memorial "Roundup" contest. Pete Peterson was first to arrive, with his new and cool Jaimissin (sic), currently with the High Zoot Fox from his old one. Mike and I arrived together, in Mike's truck. Mike flew his new and pretty Randy Smith "Shrike". After some fuel filter problems, he got it running well and flying pretty good. I landed from my first flight about the time Rod Claus showed up. Many flights were flown by all, few problems, no planes broken. We got hold of Randy P. by phone, but he begged off. No Schultzies were sighted.
In summary, for Leo, I flew 4 flights on "KISS"...a Fancherized Twister with Magnum XLS .36 power. Tweeked the tank height, changed to muffler pressure, adjusted takeoff rpm, & trying to get flight time/fuel load figured out. Scarborough had better be practising, or he's in Trouble....or maybe T-rubble! I did the first 3 or 4 square 8's I've done in close to 4 decades, and they looked like Mark's...not saying that's desireable, or anything!

Wish Leo had been there, tho...he says he's never seen me fly. Point taken! But you haven't missed much, Leo...
My good news is that I got the stitches out of my head yesterday, the biopsy was good, and I'm
E! Red "E". "Ready", get it? Maybe feeling a bit giddy...and the old lady isn't home. I may order pizza soon...

So there!

Hey, Mongo...why didn't the html code make the "E" red? What kinda hokey deal is that?!
