It's been a year today since I had hydraulic mist fill up the cockpit of the 210 I was flying. That led to a marvelous misadventure and the discovery of a plethora of problems with the airplane along the way. I was out at the airport dropping a check off today and decided to take a picture in pretty much the same spot (with a different airplane) exactly 1 year apart.

You certainly look a lot happier in today's picture!!
 
It's obviously to warm in San Marcos. It's still February and he's in shorts and sandals.
But it looks a little wet.
 
Just enjoying that wardrobe while he has the chance. ;)
 
You look a LOT better now. Pay no attention to the SteinHumbug.

Realize this is the greatest compliment I can give. If I had a daughter your age, I'd let her date you.
 
No...

<----this

Is a nice smirk.

Good post, David. Shorts and flip-flops in February suck!

I suppose, but I don't actually know where it is right now. It seems to migrate between the avionics shop and the mechanics shop. I figure once they get tired of working on it, they'll let me fly it.

My students have to go through a safety orientation in the fabrication lab - that requires long pants.

One of them had a problem - he didn't own any long pants. Just shorts. But, then, it doesn't get cold in the Detroit area in the winter.

Maybe he's my roommate. He biked a few miles in shorts the other night while it was snowing.
 
Is that the 210 from 5C1? I was out there last weekend and its sitting there with no engine in it right now.

I see. First thought you were trying to make the picture look somewhat similar.
