I don't know about you guys in the city, but it's all powder up here. This is slowing down my work on the Overlander, somewhat. But ya gotta love Colorado.

Yeah, very fluffy-puffy - the stuff Colorado is known for! Great for tourism

I'm sure glad we have everything buttoned up - sounds like you're in the same boat (Land Yacht) we were last year ~

Not quite, but still a work-in-progress. The Overlander is actually towable/livable. Just need to skin the inside of the wing windows (and 54 other things).

Love how fast the weather changes--this was taken Tuesday (you can see the remnants of the snow from the previous wee)--got a little polish on the new skins so I can dare to venture out in public.

Hello Shari - I saw on the morning news that Colorado was getting a dusting of snow. I know Colorado does need more moisture to keep up the reservoirs in the mountains. It seems as though our moisture has been and is currently melted snow (rain) My wife and I really enjoyed the Vintage gathering in Laramie. Have a great winter! We might be in Salida.

We did a very sporty departure from Rocky Mountain Metropoltian Airport (jeffco) Wed. morning at 0830. Thank god for runway lights because we couldn't see the centerline. I am now in rain soaked Peoria Ill. waiting for the weather to come in so we can go fly through it.

My wife is not very happy with me as she has to deal with all the snow shoveling. I told her to farm the job out to one of the boys two doors down

Kip,

Yay! Opening for a hijacking. Reminds me of departing Peterson in an F-4 in a snowstorm 30 years ago. Backseater said "if we don't get home my wife will kill you." There was zero visibility forward, so he looked sideways out the canopy to see the runway lights passing under the wing and told me to steer left or right until we could rotate.

Normally, IMHO, men generally have good judgment unless women/wives are involved...

I was wondering yesterday if you got out of Denver.

Zep
