Spring has sprung.

Time to get after those pesky weeds in the pastures. Blue birds are nesting, Purple Martins have returned, Tree Swallows are checking my new boxes over.

I love spring.

The general consensus is to NOT pop any blisters. Leaves unprotected tissue open and more vulnerable to infection even if it's covered.

About my Florida trip.

After looking for 5erBob's house for a week (I think he gave me the wrong directions. ) I decided to have fun at the Sun n Fun airshow. The airshow was great, but I have some observations about Florida. The people there are rude, greedy, and selfish. They jumped aviation fuel prices over $1, 2 days before the show. After flying for 6 hours to get there I asked for a drink of water, and they would not even let me drink out of the hose without paying them. They were having a pizza party and didn't even offer me a piece, I was starving. The taxi driver charged me $20 for a ride to the hotel that was posted to only cost $10. The hotel where I stayed tried to raise my room rate $40 a night because the day clerk said the night clerk made a mistake and didn't charge me enough.

Any other airshow I go to the people fall over backwards to accomidate pilots and offer free food and drink when you land late at night. They are glad you are there. In Florida all they see is $$$$ signs.

Geico,

I yelled and yelled - - waved - - I saw you up there going round and round. You were 1/2 mile too far north.

Sorry about your impression of Florida folk. I am afraid you didn't meet "Florida" folk. They are laid back, gentle, helpfull and generous. It's those blamed imports that do that. And, during this time of the year, the Florida residents try to go hide so they don't have to deal with them.

I heard it was a good show - - my friend was there and also hit the Charlotte one - - it was smaller but good.

A guy can't even sneak out a bit early
Power dumps and the one phase they lose is the one the alarm system is on. Gotta stick around to reset everything when it comes back on. So much for having a (substituting as a cold brew)

ID10t is a great part number when you send some kid into the warehouse for a box of them. Especially the look on his face when he realizes what it spells

Yeh, Chris - - quit picking on me. Just because I look so fantastic in my Speedo, you don't have to stay on the subject all the time. You are sick, boy.

ps: Scotty's is still here from last summer, Chris. You can use his.

I don't think that was Bob. I thought I heard him say something about borrowing some of Top's camoflauge speedos so you couldn't find him

That explains why I could not find him. I did find a nudist camp with guys wearing camo Speedos on their heads. Pretty odd sight.......you don't think Top lives in FL do you?
