Not really tight enough to feel obligated to actually attend the funeral I did make a point of flying over at the right time to get this picture, blew it up, and along with a short note sent it to them. Different yeah but I wanted to go flying AND show some respect, they do know me well enough to not be surprised I would take this route! On the way back into the mountains I, by chance, flew over the small cemetary and could see the site prepared, sobering.
Then a little fun on the way home, (and somewhere along the way it popped into my head that funeral has the word FUN in it), practicing uphill ski landings, a great way to unwind after a morning of snowboarding, and different but similar at the same time. The fun part is making the landings short, but extending the takeoff slide as long as possible by reducing power and letting the slope do the work.
