Posey Patch Arrival

Back Home Up Next

Here I am at Mark Smith's Posey Patch airport in front of his hangar.  Even though Mark was suppose to be there with fuel, I figured he got tired of waiting on me since I was an 1.5 hours late due to a flat tire.  My problem was fuel.  I had burned much more than the anticipated 6 gallons.  I had less than a gallon left.  Not even enough to get to another airport and I didn't immediately notice the 5 gallon yellow jug in front of the hangar.  I picked up the 2.5 gallon jug on top of the yellow jug but it was empty.  I gave a kick on the yellow jug out of frustration and low and behold it was full of fuel!  Bless his heart he even left me a funnel!

I was going to miss meeting Mark but I had fuel!  Little did I know I would see him before the night was over.  I still didn't see another sign my fuel consumption was giving me.
