May 9th

I've taken the week off to get some stuff done, so started out by hurting my back figuring out how to get the rear seats down in the rental car.  Yay me.

May 8th

I met Bruce at the airport to talk about the EAA - he's looking at trying to be an advisor to the board to try and get them back on track.  I had some feedback :o)

May 7th

I started the day going to the airport for the "Brunch with Bud" event, but got sidetracked by Shane and his friend Dave wanting to go to Karen's for lunch, then Tony wanting to go to lunch at Karen's now.  So we went to Karen's now.

After lunch, I went for a short flight - Marty had been up and said it was pretty bumpy, and it was still bumpy.

May 6th

We went and picked up a rental car while the Bolt is in getting its battery replaced.  The choice ended up being a Spark or a Charger, keeping the electric theme (though both are internal combustion engines.)  We took the Spark because it's cheaper (even though GM are paying for it) and it's easier to live with - the Charger is a looot bigger.

May 4th

After an email conversation with a couple of the EAA board members about an IT issue, one sent me (and the whole board) an email reply that another board member later called "condescending."  I thought "I don't need to stay here and be condescended to.  I can go anywhere and be condescended to."  So I've suggested it might be better if they do their own IT and web support.

It's been brewing for a while, as I've been getting criticism for not posting updates they haven't told me about and so on, but after almost 10 years, I'm glad to be shot of it all.

I wish the webmaster well.

May 3rd

Henry's going home this week, so we had a barbecue at the airport to see him off.

Randy's installed his new prop, so he went for a trial flight to see how that works.  It seems to be over-pitched, but he says it's a lot quieter.  It sounded the same from the ground, in my opinion.  We still plan to gather data comparing it to the stock Magni prop, as until then it's just "I can run faster in my new sneakers."

May 1st

I went to the airport and flew up to Auburn to meet Randy and Henry, who'd gone out early to try and miss the worst of the bumpy weather.

It was pretty windy, so we all just came straight back.

When I finished being on call, I played with another video, this time of Henry.
