Beats working all to hell! It can be loanly when all your flying buddies have to work. It a tuff job but someone has to do it. Now for some clam chowder. Cheers

Now I need a nap in the sun. Better go hit a few strips here on the beach and get back and change the oil.

I'm jealous Rob! Looks like a beautiful day on the beach. I've got the day off, but weather here is crap It's dang cold too. Sounds like you must be approaching that 25 hours pretty fast. Take care, we'll fly soon!

Right on Scott. If there is sun call. I drop almost anything to fly in sun.
Nehalem Bay


Midfield crossing PDX


Had PC airport all to myself


I don't have a beach house. I have my own airport at the beach! Bottom center is my strip. Your all welcome and can land any time. KPFC on the sectional.


May go again Friday, suppose to be sunny. Cheers...Rob

I damn-near cancelled work today to go but it was also a good day to be working in the dirt.
I'm usually wading in mud this time of year. In our third week of high pressure, gotta love it.

Rats! I woulda loved to go. Only problem is after wife had her c-section, she just got clearance to ride her horse again... Spent day riding mine while she rode both of hers. It was beautiful day. Morning duck hunting at Willamette International (literally at the north end of the island...) was poor but nice to see sun.

Do they allow float plane operations in that channel next to the airport?

Good question. There is a boat ramp. I have never seen a float plane there. Sorry I am no help.

Good day...Rob

Rob, let us know if Friday lunch (noonish) will be at Pacific City. We might be able to make it, IF the fog burns off here!

John did you make it Friday? I am going to see if the wife wants to go to lunch Saturday if it is sunny.

Cheers

Headed to PFC today, 200-300ft ceilings most of the way. Low and slow.......stuck to the highway like stink on shit.
Thought there might be a couple of Maules parked on the strip.......nope not one plane!
Went on by and put the tires in the sand right in front of the Pelican Pub! The sand was a little soft, but ok with sufficient speed.
Beautiful day on the beech, sunny and no wind.
Oh-ya, we drove the Tahoe.

Holler if you guys make it over tomorrow, we'll be around untill noon or so.

Friday we were socked in here in Lebanon, will see if the fog lifts by noon to fly to PC.

Darn fog. Where is my 35MPH east wind? December has been weird. May go into the books as the driest. It is trying to burn off. We are going to be surrounded by fog but Troutdale should burn off, I hope. It is great at PC now.


Cheers

fog sucks.

How much $$$ you spent on renting this year? As opposed to buying a beater to hold you over until you can afford that Super Cub.

The wife and I are headed to the airport at 11AM Troutdale is going back and forth VFR IFR. The wife doesn't like IFR. At Troutdale I can only decend to 1040MSL thats 1000AGL non precision approach. Fingers crossed.

Good day

You know how you always like to wax philosophical about...ladies in your past and how they cost you money? That's about how I feel about buying an interim beater. Sure, she might tide me over when I am in need, but I'm afraid of getting boat anchored by the need to overhaul or recover or something. Trust me, I am tempted. I do surf Barnstormers.

The Sport Cub... brand new, fun, toss the keys on the desk and drive home while someone else worries about the weenie alternator that won't charge the battery.

The coffers suffered an IRS-related setback in October, a crushing blow to the dream for sure. Come to town for a visit and we'll discuss over some wine, some 1080p HD episodes of The Twetos, and go for a scooby doo misson in the Cub.

What a sweet day!! It was 60* at 3500MSL 50* here at PC. 140@5 Great way to get lunch with the wife.

The east wind was up pretty good by the time we got back. KTTD 172353Z 11017G25KT 10SM CLR 44* with that wind feels cold. Back at home 15 minutes away we were still in the fog, it never burned off and no wind. 35*

Headed west over the Willamette River 4mi south of down town Portland. I fly right over Z's house. Hi Zane


Final 14 PC, home of The Rock


Wearing the colors


Headed back to the fog


Gresham arrival to KTTD is from the south


Back at home base


Hope next time another BCP bro or 2 can make it...Rob
