Tuesday

Rain, wind, thunder, hail, 55 degrees, we had very spring-like weather for Groundhog Day.  I didn't mind it, except the wind was very cold.  Ran up the 340, found myself more nervous sitting in an airplane than I'd been for a very long time.  We were looking for an oil leak.  The first attempt of looking right after I shut down, didn't work, so he needed to stand there by the engine with it running and watch while I ran it.  I said "You're going to be careful as heck and not forget about that spinning prop right next to you for a single second, right?"  One trip, one step the wrong direction, I know mechanics do that stuff, but it definitely made me twitchy.  I had my fingers on the mags just to make myself feel better.  :)  He found the leak, so that was successful at least.

I added a gallon and a half of oil to the T-6 today too.  I only mention that because it still sounds odd to say "gallons" of oil to me.  Otherwise I have no point.

Kaylee didn't have a very good day today, she got stressed out over Geometry, and she's losing her All A's streak with that class.  I didn't have all A's in school all the time, even though I probably could have.  Math was my weakness. She's way better at math now than I was in 9th grade.  Anyway, hoping she has a better day tomorrow.
