I hate spam!!  Well, the electronic kind anyway.  I just got done with about three days of on and off deleting of spam comments in one of my blog posts.  There were over 1000 comments posted by someone, all junk!  That's a lot of hits on the delete button!!

This is about the 5th or 6th time I've encountered a major spam problem in the comments section of my blog, and I'm pretty much sick of it.  So, as a result I have locked down the comments to allow comments only from registered users of the site.  How do you become a registered user?  Just ask!  Send me an email at "wacojoe @ classicwaco.com" (take out the spaces and leave off the quotation marks).  I'll be happy to add you if you want to be a registered user and post comments.

Now, as far as Waco news goes, there really isn't any.  Jeri and I flew the last flight for 2008 a couple of weeks ago on a nice warm Monday.  The Waco is now tucked into the back corner of the hangar for the winter, ready for its maintenance rotation.  I have some new linings for the brakes to install and a few other little items I want to take care of in addition to the normal annual inspection items.  As always the goal is to have the airplane ready to go in March, so that it can be flying again at the earliest opportunity in 2009.

Stay tuned for a report on how the winter maintenance goes!
