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.
