It’s a wonderful Spring we’re having this Winter.

—

We often see about zero to maybe ten degrees around this time of year—had -15 about three years ago.

Now, 13th of January, 2026, 48 degrees. Was 52 on Sunday.

Bugs are starting to hatch.

Birds are confused.

Cats and dogs, living together…

Had a little chat with, uh… ChatGPT. It tells me that this is representative of the year I’ve had:

Which is strange primarily because I haven’t worked on any Cessnas in about three years. Sure, I’ve done a few 150s, pair of 337s, a 310, and a Cessna 410. I don’t think I’ve mentioned to it at all that I’ve touched those Cessnas in the past.

But loads of 737s.

And what with the peppermint lollypop?!

Every semi-auto is just a machine-gun waiting to be fixed.
