May 29, 2010 – 6:31am – Saturday (Eastern Time) – Cocoa, FL – Report submitted by Joe Hurston – Air Mobile Joe

Had a neat visit at the hangar with a few old friends. We were discussing a situation that comes up very intermittently in flight when Roy, a veteran from the Space Center and great aircraft mechanic asked if we had checked the “manual”. My answer was no…not yet. We pulled it out and gained some valuable insight. Of course, we all have problems that come up in our lives. Often, when they occur, our mind just whirls and we begin working all the variables. However, our Lord did give us a “Manual”, the Bible! It covers it all! So, my lesson to ponder today is…Read the Manual. In the photo above, our “table” is the new engine. The guy on the right is Brian who has been invaluable in helping us to get this far along with our engine change. The wonderful fact is, our front engine is running so well that we don’t need to rush into the engine change. Several hours after this photo, Gene, our faithful mechanic and I did a “post flight” inspection on the front engine and it passed with flying colors. By the way, those parts that we had inspected yesterday also passed all tests and are being installed today. 

We continue to monitor the weather and pray that the Forecasters are wrong about their predictions for this hurricane season. I pulled down the image above just a few moments ago. There are clusters forming and connecting just south of Haiti. I have seen these turn into very dangerous storms. There is a growing “instability” in the region. That is reason the forecasters are calling for such an active season. PLEASE ask our Lord to hold back the storms.

PLEASE remember to pray for Haiti.

God Bless!
