1/2 mile vis, 60 knots NW, wind shears, and embedded TS, hail. Just a winter day in Oregon. :D

I had nowhere to go and didn't want to just burn money circles in the sky. I don't need much of excuse to go but I do at least need one!

Second trip to the doc yesterday in two weeks. Sick as a dog. Missed three trips over the last month! :x I'm also hoping to be well enough for a breakfast fly out on Saturday.

You headed south for breakfast GSP? I was thinking of breakfast too but somewhere not too far a way. Maybe Logan.

Logan is the plan if the wx cooperates and I'm feeling better. They discount their fuel and the 205 needs to be fed.

Plus the folks at Gami want me to try something to get it running smoother LOP...so a few birds with one stone.

I hope this front that has blown in will clear out the inversion, because we've had bad visibility lately. Hope to see you guys there.
