Aww come on now zero.. can't be that bad! Who doesn't love the "beer in.. garbage out" routine? I feel sorry for our beaver drivers who are stuck here till the end of october or freeze up! No... wait... I don't haha!

Mid october. Just as frozen water rudder cables start to become annoying!!

Get the mtce boys to lube up all of cable pulley's and ways very liberally with good grease to prevent the freezing of the cables. Should keep you going right thru freeze up without a problem.

i don't have a season's end anymore, but PAM cooking spray got me out of a few binds when the WD40 ran out. Fly safe kids, and don't slip on any iced up docks....at least not in front of your passengers...

I think I'll just be lucky enough to bugger off before I have to start spraying the rudder cables and spraying hot water on the wings to get rid of frost...

September 12. Then I'm in Vancouver for groundschool on the 14th for the 1900. Looks like I won't be battling the mid-coast weather this winter.

But I'll be back to VFR for next summer. Best of both worlds I think!

Another 11 sleeps, then a brief session of training and rides before my southern summer season.

Well, yesterday was supposed to be the last day, but there were several fire starts yesterday, and we flew 3.5 hours. Overtime started today, and we did another 3.5. Sounds like it might be the end of the week yet...

Yep, lots of new fires sparking up down here around Quetico Park, spotted five new ones yesterday with the winds picking up.

One more week for me!!!
