Oh gotcha. Dang, 14 hr duty day in the corporate world? I thought only the airlines were bad. Shows what I know about corporate I guess.

Ahh! This is how I change this!
Not uncommon to arrive somewhere at 8am and depart at 7pm.

Part 91 flights don't have duty limits. I've done 14 hours flying in a day under 91. The key is to not have an employer that does trips like that regularly.

Or, if you're in a management position, set the tone from day one that these kinds of things are unacceptable.
I can't stand the chief pilots for companies or individuals that are new to aircraft ownership that pretend like 14+ hour duty days and/or 8+ hours of flying is OK. You can't back pedal from the initial operating standards you set.

Covered a co-workers G1000 King Air for the last few days while he was on vacation. Great flying airplane with avionics 1,000 times better than my lear 35.

I was walking to my car and this pretty lady begged for a picture (shot under the fence).

Yesterday run to Dry Tortugas. Courtesy of my right seater.
Speedboat departed toward Dry Tortugas before us and we met them on the way back. They were still peddling their way to NP.
I'll buy lunch or dinner if you're anywhere near PBI, SUA, FLL, etc. on the way back. Fencer stories over a burger would be worth the price of admission.

I wish I knew. Already back to NJ
No worries. I did fly my buddy's RV6 today, although not from KEWY to NJ, only locally. Catch you next trip.

Did a preflight like all good pilots do...
The sump kept dripping, so I took a closer look. Short story long, the gasket in the sump-bolt was keeping the valve open.
I ended up draining 16 gallons (thankfully a friend was with me to help out). Found a replacement sump-bolt, only to discover the threads are striped in the tank hose/port.
I'm taking it in tomorrow to have a fuel flow meter installed, so I was planning on 'downing' her. But,it's funny how you catch things..
