Yesterday, the majority of the NoCal Squadron of West Coast Pieters met atJim Boyer's (Santa Rosa, Ca), to celebrate our favorite Irishman, BernardPietenpol! It is worth noting that, at least for this day of celebration, wewere able to put aside our differences on the best way to power a Pietenpolthrough the skies (although 4 of the 8 persons pictured are committed toCorvair!), instead totally focusing on Jim's project. Jim's garage, loadedwith all his tools, project, extra wood and 5 engines(!), is living proofthat it is possible to get 5 lbs of horse manure into a 1 lb sack! ArleneBoyer fed us a fine meal of corned beef and cabbage, too!Pictured, from Left to Right, back row: The estimable Chris Tracy, ScottDebel (tail complete, but side-tracked by getting his PPL), and, to the farright, Ray Krause (building a Sky Scout). In front: Host, Jim Boyer(Corvair), Bill Roach (recent attendee to CC#22 - working on engine), Yourstruly (Corvair), Kevin McDonald (just purchased and A-powered Piet), andMike Weaver (Corvair - soon to be deployed to Afghanistan).

Nice to see such a healthy and enthusiastic bunch of Piet folks close to me. Toobad my airplane isn't here (yet)... weather is still wintry up here in So.Oregon. Yesterday it barely got out of the 30s and we got snow in the afternoon.I was taking a motorcycle rider safety class so I can get my endorsementhere in Oregon (passed it)- but it was real life training out on the course inreal weather. Like flying the Piet, I'm sort of a fair weather biker and theold '66 Triumph really doesn't deserve to be out in messy weather at her oldage either.--------Oscar ZunigaMedford, ORAir Camper NX41CC "Scout"A75 powerRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
