43 now and warming fast. Cannot wait until the sun starts coming out all the time....just like these two critters hogging the sunbeams next to my bedroom computer desk.

Cold and snowy yesterday in the southern tier of Western NY. Today sunny and warm. Spring is definitely in the air... Snow should all be gone in a few days...Yesterdays pics.

OK, maybe 10 inches was a bit of exaggeration... but not much! Here's what it looked like yesterday at my place, after the snow finally quit around 7AM.

Got busy yesterday; our mission to go get an airplane was a "go" after all, so didn't get back until 7PM last night... finished up the last of the snow removal this morning.

Oh- and yes, my Tri-Pacer is now in its hangar at Parlin Field in Newport, NH.:thumbsup:

It was a nice flight up from PA, but DARK by the the time we got "home"!

Definitely a nice looking aircraft!! Congratulations!!

Doesn't icing bother you on these chilly days?

Sharp looking plane

Good morning from Southeast Virgina near the Dismal Swamp. God Bless our military!

Beautiful this past weekend and beautiful this week in the 70s. A lot of rain last week means the fields, woods and ditches are overflowing. No winter thus the bugs should be bad..come on lady bugs, praying mantis, bats, purple martins!

Soil is being tested, then this weekend is time to spread the horse/cow composted manure and NutureGreen compost. Then tilling into the soil, placement of the deer and "everything else" fence.

We used saplings for posts last year and they worked well so the same this year. Will plant after the third week of April. The Orka, tomatos, kumatos and peppers are in the planters (garage) and very close. to needing to move out.

Best to all as I work in D.C. to pay for time for the farm.

Coffee is almost done. 62 foggy degrees this morning. Heading to a high of 86 with lots of sun. Pull my back yesterday. Going to be slow for a couple of days.
Good Morning All.

Thomas-- Newport's smaller, a lot less commercial, and... yep, less expensive. Still not sure if I'll be able to afford to keep this plane, but I'm going to find out, and at least "get legal" for my flying-- this time with a license.:laughing:

I figure not having to rent a plane for lessons will save quite a bit of $$ (think $120+ per hour), and if I end up having to sell the little Tri-Pacer (AKA "Flying Milkstool," "Pie-Chaser," etc...:laughing

I doubt I will lose much, if anything. Actually, the seller made me promise to give him and his wife first dibs if I do end up having to sell it, they liked it that much. Kind of a bittersweet parting for them.

I thought about Post Mills, but, although about the same distance from me, Newport is FAR easier (and quicker!) to get to, not to mention a paved field instead of grass. Approaches are a bit easier, too.

Roy- once up around 5500', the air was pretty dry; we were above the few clouds that were around, so icing wasn't an issue, but I am going to have to work on the cabin heat a bit- I was cold most of the way up here!

Unfortunately, since I didn't want to miss the rare confluence of schedules required to get the plane, I pushed myself a bit too much; the sinus problems I was having last week have now evolved into a classic head cold. Yuck.

Hope everyone else has a good day- supposed to get a lot more melting today with temps hitting 60 or better!:thumbsup:

toppop52 · Mar 12, 2012

32 right now but I got my shorts on headed for Ocean City to do an install this morning and hope to be done for the 70 degree afternoon and a trip to northeastern MD to pick up the Pacer Wagon I bought yesterday.:thumbsup:

03-12-2012 Currently 36 degrees. 56 high expected.

Western · Mar 12, 2012

53*, headed to the mid 80's, going to be strange working in the daytime, but I'll see what all the excitement is about:laughing:

DKCDKC · Mar 12, 2012

Approaching 70 today in the Virginia mountains... Chance of showers later. Will try the new JD out on the box blade today. If the ground gets too damp it tears things up.

JDgreen227 · Mar 12, 2012

51 here and pouring rain, it was a beautiful spring day yesterday, got as high as 67 and I got out a power washer and hose and scrubbed the winter grime off my wife's car. Our cats are simply disgusted with the rain because they expected to get back outside today. I will spend today printing off photos and working on our taxes.

deerseeker001 · Mar 12, 2012

Glad you had a safe cool flight back to Newport! We fish the Sugar River up that way and I was wondering is that the Post Mills airport you mentioned above? Take care of that cold.
