Well, I found a semi-favourable wind layer.. way down at 3500 ft.. makes it tight on gas but it's still progress. Just a couple of knots below my average speed so it will hurt a bit, but not disasterously.
1 hour to go

No autopilot
no radios
no lights
but the battery powered clock still runs
oh.. and no fuel gauges

Good on reversing the sign order. I didn't notice that at first.
that's cause we tend to "think" left-to-right.. but I find I can work bass-ackwards and it make sense.
the one that gets me is the sign they paint on a highway. is it...
STOP
AHEAD
or should it be ...
AHEAD
STOP
to be read in steps, or all at once...
BTW.. is it true you can only have one sig pic at a time?

Enough breeze to make it worthwhile so I'm off to Bangkok

Just past halfway the winds started to drop - of course- but still on the tail.
Not enough to panic so I'll stagger onward. At least there's lots of fuel if I have to go hunting wind later.

Wellllllllllllll... John's been online so there's no way I can even BUY some favourable wind. Making WSSL even with a loss of 20 kts would be ok, but no matter what I try I come up 20 nm short.
So, diversion to WMKA (at least I'll have a tailwind for a few moments )

Oh sure.. 40 miles from destination and I have to run out to get some info for my car insurance -while they wait on the phone -- I guess being possibly uninsured is part of real life...
So, back to Bangkok for another try in a bit. :greenf:
3 hours :toilet:
