a short but nice ride around Muncie Indiana. weather was 0C this morning but climbed to 11C in Muncie, low winds. it was ideal. after a couple inches of rain this week, everything was clean and fresh. I latched the rudder gust lock rope because they get a lot TBM's there, blasting around.
Ball residences in the photos. from canning jars to AeroSystems. they did it all. amazing bunch. smart and energized.
the Ball family help push PBS television along with Bob Ross, the painter, who filmed his shows in one of their homes. I was amazed that he could put out a painting in 30 minutes that looked good. was it museum grade, no, but what enjoyment he showed in painting. one of his paintings sold for 9.8 million dollars in 2023.

David Owsley Museum of Art at Ball State was nice and free.
I ate at Amazing Joe's Grill... it was very good, $35.
40 hours on the oil.

the last photo is where a piper lost power on final for RW3 last week and went into the trees and injured a couple of people walking on the bike path from debris. they will probably get a big settlement.

the Zizzo was perfect.
