				The weather finally broke, and we are experiencing some sunshine with 
 temperatures rising to over 50 degrees F.  Last Fall, I flushed the cooling 
 system and installed anti-freeze.  Everything was OK for a couple of flights 
 and then I noticed that the hose connections on the coolant return flow 
 section were seeping.  Changing out these hose parts is a bare hand job.  I 
 tried a couple of times to get it done, but there is nothing colder than a 
 hangar.  Yesterday, I got the job done.
 
 Today after mag kill and starter switch pull string adjustments, I flew for 
 about twenty minutes.  Found my radio did not want to work.  Brought it home 
 to dry out.  Tomorrow is supposed to be nice too.  The FireFly needs the 
 winter's dust washed off and I believe it will ready for the season.
 
 It is just great to be back in the air.
