Beautiful area and photos, but what is with this comment?: "She was Brazilian,and he was Peruvian. I said I was American, and she groaned. I can't blame her.
" Are you being apologetic for being American and for being from the country that saved that country from falling to the Germans?

Last night I was trying to figure out what else I could do with it, and it occured to me that it might as well have been custom designed to read stick forces! It even reads in tenths of a pound. See http://www.balanzza.com/ for details. I think it was bought at Target or somewhere similar. I smell stick force testing in the air. The only irritating thing is that it locks in on a number after a second or so, rather than a continuous reading, but I think it'll be helpful. Also, I'm in the middle of filling in my logbook (the last entry was November), and it looks like I'm going to break 760 hours in the KR. The EIS info is how I really keep up with flights and hours. I name each flight a "flight number" with a little description in the title like "LCL" or "OSH-return", and the hobbs hours are in the file. Number of landings is easy...I just scroll through the airspeed and altitude columns to find where I slowed down below 50 mph, and count each one of those as a landing. It's either a landing or a crash, anyway. The date of the flight is the date of the EIS log file. I also reference the EIS file number in the logbook entry, so I can always go back and find a second-by-second account of the flight if I ever need it. Horton and Jones are tring to close the gap, but I'll be back for good in 2-3 months. Oh, and here's the link to where I went on the recent "bank holiday monday", May 25th. See http://home.hiwaay.net/~langford/andover/durdle_door/ for what I think are some pretty cool pictures from 50 miles south of here.
