Hello Net

Well, it's all buttoned up and no place to go.  Fog again this morning and 
early afternoon.  As the fog lifted, the temp went up rapidly.  I decided to 
give up for today.  When I left the airport, the Temp was 83 and the humidity 
was not far behind.  I did manage to tweak a few things and work on a few 
others.  I emptied my fuel tank and gave it a wipe out (Yes, my hand will fit 
inside with the filler cap off),  I added 10 gallons of fresh fuel.  I removed 
the Revflow needle and gave it another grinding session.  I removed the oil 
cooler and gave it a non scientific test for blockage.  (I blew in the opening 
and compared it to another cooler).  I found nothing and reinstalled it.  I 
triple checked the valve lash.  I gave the engine another full power run and 
found that my grinding on the needle had no ill effects.  It did seem a little 
richer, and gained another 100 RPM.  I removed the chocks and taxied up and 
down the hanger row, just to get a feel for the ground handling.  I remembered 
how to hold one brake, push throttle and stick and spin on one wheel.  I 
completed the day by signing off my annual/ condition inspection.  Need I say 
I'm feeling some anxiety.  My next trip to the airport will be to fly.
