Subject: Do you know your FAR’s?, By Don Grillo, [Sky Soaring]Got the photo but it is of some old buy standing on a stepstool and leaning on a sign. Plus he has one hand in his pocket. Must be related to Barry.

Subject: [Sky Soaring] General Discussion, Reply To: Saturday Feb 5 Work ReportWorth a try before we sink $$ into a new unit. If it is only a leaky solder joint, it should easily be able to be fixed by re-sweating the junction. Sounds like a good 10 minute project on January 1st before the chili kicks in.

Subject: [Sky Soaring] General Discussion, Reply To: Books about flightIt appears the financials were pasted into Word from Excel and the page sizes are not set to the same dimensions. It might be better to save the financials as a PDF in Excel, then post the PDF.
You can see more of the pasted Excel sheet if you monkey around with the Word page size and orientation but it would be best of these could be saved and distributed in common format.

Subject: [Sky Soaring] New topic: General Discussion, Fence Post Driver?Greg and Everyone Else,
The Sky Soaring messaging system does not recognize responses from cell phones. We will see a response from you, but the content will be missing. See below for an example. It’s been this way for quite a while. Not sure if it can be ‘fixed’ but for those who like to respond from cell phones, we can hear you.

Subject: [Sky Soaring] General Discussion, Reply To: Golf CartGolf cart batteries can be had for under $200 each and a typical cart needs 6 of them. Depending on the condition, the interconnect cables between the batteries may need to be changed out as well.
Of more concern is the statement about disconnected wires under the seat. That could mean anything from a couple of loose wires that need to be plugged back in to missing components that those wires ran to in a former life. Another question is the type of charger necessary for this new cart. If it is compatible with our current chargers, we can make it work. If not, new ones cost $300+, depending on features. The mechanicals will also need to be looked at so see how the transmission, bearings and tires are. Brakes, too. Keys are no big deal. They are all interchangeable.
My suggestion: Make this a winter project. We can use the down time to figure out what it will take to breath new life into it and if the cost is worth it. If it is, we rebuild it over the winter. If not, John L. can donate it. My weekends are pretty tied up through October, but I should have time in November to take a look. I’m happy to see what can be done if y’all promise to keep DeRosa away from it until I can get out there to have a look.
Others may have different ideas.
