On our boat, when out of the water for winter we’ve had freezing temperatures cause damage to the domestic water system. Pipes, valves, taps.
The shower thermostat froze, expanded and split. It was a pain to replace.
The following year, a ‘freak’ early deep freeze was forecast. We weren’t ready for it and hadn’t purchased food grade antifreeze.
On route to the marina we went to buy loads of cheap vodka. Unfortunately they had none.
It was, and still is, a joke in our marina, that over that winter we had ‘Hot-and-Cold-running’ Smirnoff Vodka in our taps and showers.
The temps did drop to -8 deg C.
We had now problems. But do now stock up on antifreeze early.

For TKS Vodka would probably work pretty good…
I can confirm that ;-)
I think more thread drift must be allowed in these threads 
Yes it has an engine monitor, it actually has Garmin G3X with engine option with Garmin G5 as backup and a Garmin 750xi and Garmin GFC Autopilot.
Built in Oxygen. (my pulse-demend yet, but will order it)
Very cool 😎 Hope all goes well with the PBI, you‘ll have a lot of fun with the aircraft!

I sense some subtle aversion to my drifts…I’ll have to give up whiskey and other drugs entirely before going back into the forums.
In the meantime, congrats @denopa !
And nice setup @Darkfixer ! Good luck on the prebuy . If you like the airplane I’d say don-t give up just ’cos something fixable, engine included, is bad: you can always factor it in the commercials of the deal…bad structural corrosion is an example of not easily fixable.

Great combo! Congratulations!

This weekend I signed the sales agreement for my new aircraft.
A Mooney M20K 252, hopefully pre-buy will be smooth without any major findings and I can close the deal.
Oh, wow.
That will be a significant step up from the Arrow. Lovely! Congratulations!

COngrats @Darkfixer! You will not regret flying turbocharged, especially if you fly IFR: great weather avoidance tool. Make sure you get as familiar with the type as possible before operating it.
Is there an an engine monitor installed? If not, it (together with pulse-demand O2) should be in your list of urgent upgrades. Also make sure that cylinder borescope-, oil filter- and fuselage tube structure- inspections are included in your prebuy. @terbang and others herein are much more knowledgeable on the type and you may want to ask further specific advise.
Thanks!
I took my IR in 2022 and wanted to have an good IFR aircraft.

Pre-buy will either be at ACG in Germany or GA Service in Denmark.

Thought you bought an Arrow….but, anyway….best of luck with that speedy bird!
I did… But sold it last October…
The Arrow found a happy owner in Belgium.
