Hey everyone.. can you believe this…?!!!!?

Ok… so I’m 16 and I was driving to the mall… I live in central Texas and we have been getting alot of rain. I don’t like to drive in the rain, but when I left my house… all was calm and well. Then about half way to the mall it was pouring!!!!!!!!! I coould hardly see, I had my windshield wipers on full blast and then all of the sudden, they tied up in a knot!!!!!!!!!!! I could not see anything! AHHHHHHHH! SO I swerved over to the side of the rode and flew throught the ditch, blowed a mile marker down and not a scratch on the car! Needless to say… I;m gonna try my best to stay iin when it’s wet! hahah. Thought I’d share!

is it bad to fly cessna 152′s that are left outside in the wind/rain/snow?

i live in cleveland ohio and rent cessna 152′s and they are left outside, tied down all the time. does all this weaken the planes structure over time?

Where can I buy just a simple old-school dining fly for camping? Basically looking for just a tarp and poles!?

I need something for a small group to use for rain, wind and sun shelter. It should be small enough for easy backpack camping. I don’t need the bulky “easy-ups”, or a screen room. I am picturing 4 poles, preferably something telescoping or shock-corded, that can be tied off to stakes. The cover tarp could be treated nylon or something else? The old canvas ones I used as a kid were pretty bulky, but they worked! For some reason, this has been tough to find!

Wal-Mart and Target have those reinforced plastic-coated ground cloths tarps with grommets, that may work OK, but no poles, at least none that any employees could locate for me!
