    Mooney M-18 Mite
    Mooney M-18 Mite first flew on May 17, 1947, as a low-cost, single-seat general aviation aircraft designed by Al Mooney. The M-18 was a low-wing, single-seat monoplane. The aircraft was intended to be marketed towards fighter pilots returning from the war. A total of 283 M-18s of differing variants between factories in Wichita, Kansas, and Kerrville, Texas. Being that the M-18 was single-seat, the market proved to be slim.

    Mooney Porsche PFM
    In 1987 a prototype Porsche Mooney PFM (Porsche Flugmotoren) flew around the world on a proof-of-concept flight. The Mooney PFM was years ahead of its time starting with the overhead cam (OHC) 911 engine.

    The Porsche Mooney had a six-cylinder Porsche 911 engine rated at 217 bhp. That engine was 3.2 liters, which is about 195 cubic inches and would cruise at 158 knots using 10.6 gallons per hour. Porsche got more power out of a smaller engine by spinning it faster, 5300 rpm vs. 2700 for the Lycoming engine.

    Porsche decided to get out of the airplane business and said they wanted their engine back. Porsche gave the owners two choices. They would subsidize the conversion to a Continental aircraft engine or buy the plane back.

    In addition to Mooney, the engines were used in other makes including Cessna, Robin, Extra, Socata, and Airship Industries blimp. In total about 80 engines were produced. Porsche grabbed all the engines and spare parts they could and destroyed them.

    My wife saw some feathers falling from a tree at the back of our yard. She stepped in to tell me she was seeing a Hawk feeding by using our binaculars we keep on the back porch. I saw it too and got my camera to catch the gruesome scene.

    It was a Cooper's Hawk. We think it caught a rock dove. We always had 2 doves hanging together. A half hour later, we saw a lone dove under our feeders. We fear the worst. :'(

    Isn't that the definition of marriage? Although, I might have figured a huge part of this out.

    Read an article this morning that reminded me of my visits to this restaurant while Mrs Wilkes was still alive. If you are ever in Savannah, go to this restaurant for lunch.



    Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room - Savannah, GA
    Authentic taste of Southern hospitality, serving up tradition and delicious comfort since 1943. Mrs. Wilkes died suddenly on October 31 2002 at the age of 95. Now, the fourth generation restaurant is run by her great grandson. Walter Cronkite (the old news icon) once said on the 6:00 national news that this was his favorite place to eat ever.

    A line gathers each morning at 107 West Jones Street. At 11 o'clock, the doors of 107 open and the lunch crowd finds seats at one of the large tables-for-ten shared by strangers. Tabletops are crowded with platters of fried chicken and cornbread dressing, sweet potato souffle, black-eyed peas, okra gumbo, corn muffins and biscuits. The menu changes daily so regulars can have something different every day. Stop by and enjoy the special pleasure of a meal shared with neighbors and strangers.

    Mrs. Wilkes’ Dining Room is open Monday through Friday, from 11am–2pm.
    CLOSED: Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Christmas Day, and New Years Day.
    Payment: Cash or check only, though an ATM is available on-site.

    '58 Imperial Limo (Ghia) if the internet is to be believed. ;)

    I don't see Imperials like these very often at all but oddly enough this one popped up today. It was labelled as: "1960 Crown Imperial Limousine by Ghia"

    MEMORIAL DAY
    y9mioz58xqlt.png
    The remains of a 17-year-old sailor killed during the World War II attack on Pearl Harbor are returning home more than 84 years later for a proper burial.

    Royle Bradford Luker will be laid to rest with full military honors in Plainview, Arkansas, on May 30, according to his obituary. He will be buried alongside his parents, including his father, who was a World War I veteran.

    "As a Fireman Third Class in the United States Navy aboard the U.S.S. West Virginia, he gave his all and was killed in the line of duty during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941," his obituary from Cornwell Funeral Homes stated.

    His burial was arranged after modern forensic testing and DNA analysis comparing his remains with DNA from living relatives confirmed his identity decades later, the obituary said.

    There's a BIG restaurant here in NC. in the middle of nowhere (west of Kitty Hawk) called, Mike's Farm that serves almost an identical table spread in an almost identical atmosphere for one price per person. Extra servings were free, I thought. Maybe not anymore. I just read the menu better and see the extra helpings are free. The place was full both times we went there, but they were Holiday oriented. Christmas w/hayrides through a festive lit woodlands that is awesome. The other time was Thanksgiving. Turkey was a choice.

    GREAT TASTING CHICKEN, HAM, and all the sides. Especially their SECRET recipe Mac & Cheese. That Mac. & Cheese was SOOOO creamy and delicious. :p The green beans...AWESOME too. :p

    We just learned that our ABC alcohol stores send out emails to people if they sign up for them to alert people to shipments that come in or sales. There was a line this morning with a ton of people waiting for hours, they say.

    Here is the email/flyer/notice. B) Who knew...
