1. A Piper Saratoga drops like a hot rock if you dump the gear and the flaps, pull power back, etc.
2. I'm getting better at dancing C4. (I know I keep saying this. I really am still learning! There's a lot of it to learn.)
3. There's a cat in Sacramento named Mr. Beasley who is one of the most affectionate, sweet cats alive.
4. Wrote a good six thousand words this weekend. Phew, I needed that. I'm somewhere between 22K and 25K now.
5. If you tell people you are writing a novel, they will want nothing more than to chat with you about why you're doing it and what the book is about and are you published yet. They won't wanna just let you WRITE. If you tell people (square dancers) that you're writing square dance choreo, though, they nod and move on.
6. Feeding three kitties tuna packed in oil is a very smelly operation.
7. But the smell is worse the next morning when one of 'em decides to lose last night's dinner.
8. You folks write a LOT. I got up to skip=375 this morning. Yi.

Actually my old Piper Cherokee 140 had good, uh, droppage when I'd pull the power back (etc.) except for those fancy "gear" things you're talking about.. oddly enough though ground effect (is that the right usage of that word? Ack.) would really be a bitch sometimes and keep me floating a little more than I'd like..
Sorry to hear about the vomity cat though! ^_^

Yep, that's ground effect all right. Too bad it doesn't happen to what my cat leaves behind: it'd be easier to clean up if it never quite hit the carpet! ;-)

I know I've had times with our little Stimpy (har almost 9 pounds of skin and bones) where he starts making painful meowing sounds, and then starts with the horking sounds.. and grabbing him from the carpet and putting him on the tile...
A PITTS.. Yes... *sigh* that Reality sure does Bite, doesn't it? :)
