I can't speak for anyone else, but I had surgery for my second macular hole

With luck I will be able to fly R/C again and, with more luck, I will be able 
to fly Pattern.  No sympathy required;. it's been a great ride and my problem 
is just another thing that happens to old farts.  Can you imagine how bad 
someone is going to feel when I beat them next summer?

So thaaat's what I have to look forward to when I get there. Great!

Hey, all kidding aside, the weather in the NE is supposed to be really nasty 
this time of year, but not this year. Supposed to be in 60s and moderate wind 
all weekend long into next week. More Florida than Tundra. Warmest December in 
NJ on record. I think there's something to this Global Warming deal.

On another positive note, I finally got to try one of the "larger" props on 
the W160. Tried the 18.1x10. Weather was a bit on the cool side at around 55 
the day I tried it, so the webra was making a bunch of horsepower and turned the 
prop like it was toothpick. No load. As the weather heats up, this prop may 
yet prove to be the right one for the engine, we just have to wait and see. In 
meantime, Dean and I are planning to run even larger props on this set-up 
trying to tame the beast

Way I look at it is every day without snow.... another day closer to Spring.
