Well, since I last wrote, there have been some good news and some not so good.
The good is that on Wednesday I had a cat scan of my neck. I haven't heard any feed back so I guess no news is good news. It was a 5 minute adventure and I didn't have to undress. I have also kept up with my daily walks around the block. It's amazing how unkept the sidewalks are. And the people who park their cars across the side walk!
Rick once suggested that I stand there and beat on the hood of the car with my cane until the owner moves it. It brings a chuckle every time I picture that. But if that's all I have to complain about things are pretty good. The neck brace is off for good.
The sad news is that I went out to Flabob airport Saturday to start to remove the reusable parts. I never got emotional about the plane but it was truly sad to see this once fine machine reduced to scrap. We still don't know the status of the engine. The crankshaft may have been bent in the upset and the engine mount is bent. But replacing both parts will result in a new engine for someone. The radio, transponder, glass panel and autopilot are in the back of my car. I'm going out again today to finish up then off to the scrap heap. But on the artistic side, I now have a propeller to hang on my wall for all to see.
It's too overcast to fly this morning but it should clear up this afternoon.
