It's windy, so i may have to do some computer flying.

I should have stayed up all night to be the 100,000th person to view this thread. I dunno, can you see who was the 100,000th person to click on this thread, Z??

It was probably me at about 2:30 am central. Up all night and couldn't sleep.

No flying. Still here in Scottsdale, Az. Finally the sun is back. A beautiful day here in the SW USA. Barrett Jackson was way cool. Headed to Sedona today. Home tomorrow.

Cheers...Rob

Good one Gary!!

Well, after ten days I finally got to fly.
Went from Meadowlake to Longmont for cheep fuel then to Ft Collins Loveland. I had lunch at Nordy’s. They have a $9.95 lunch BBQ all you can eat and it’s phenomenal! If you have a chance to go for lunch there, go. After that, a little flying sightseeing over Horse tooth reservoir and CSU and then back to FNL to drop off my passenger. I made it back to Meadowlake in time for the sun to set. It was 3.1 after it was all said and done. And, I picked up 20 lbs of elk while in Ft Collins. Mmmmmmm.

Nordy's is great for it's noon buffet..eat there when I'm at our area office just west of Hooters! HC

Wow, a buffet at Hooters, count me in

I went up to KFTG to start my checkout in the Citabria 7KCAB they have. I've been missing flying taildraggers too much. I did two flights for a total of 2.3hrs. It went well, even after not taxiing, taking-off, or landing a tailwheel in 10 months! I didn't think to take any pictures until after we put it back in the hangar. Maybe I'll get some more later, haha.

I love the short bus in the hangar too!

Breakfast run.

Flew to GXY this morning past the windfarm west of Peetz.

4 planes leaving GXY..BM & cubscout leaving for Longmont, 3 ACA's leaving for SNY.
A beautiful day to fly.

Geez HiC, If I knew you were taking a picture Cubscout and I would have at least smiled.

Great day of flying, winds were pretty much dead calm everywhere. Had a great time kicking back as Cubscout piloted my skywagon. Thanks for the bag of goodies CS. You really shouldn't have.

Like they said, it was a great day for flying. I went up in the 7KCAB again for 1.2hrs..would've been more but we got a late start. Clint is pretty much just hanging out in the back along for the ride. That Citabria sure makes me feel like I know how to fly a taildragger though...I think I'm cheating! But the winds have been really light too! Heading up again tomorrow for a few more hours!

One of these days I'll get pics while flying!

You think that Citabria is easy to fly, wait till you buy a Stinson.

I don't know how it can get much easier...

Fabulous moonlit flying last night. Full moon, fresh snow, not a single cloud anywhere in the sky. Plus, calm and not too cold. Surprised some friends on the ground who were camped out having a big bonfire- then followed rivers alongside mountains, nailed some T&G's on unlit runways, and chased Orion. Fun!

Flew to FTG this morning where I ran into Tadpole & Clint about to depart for taildragger fun...a leeeetle bit chilly.


Gerald in a Super D and I departed for SNY..the clouds set us down for a while at FMM..Gerald went back to FTG..I went on to STK where I waited until things got better at SNY.

Thanks for the picture HiC! Yes it was chilly. I ended up doing 2 flights today for 2.8hrs overall...round and round the pattern working on wheel landings. Now to wait until next weekend for more fun! Bmurrish stopped by before my 2nd flight too. It was really fun having both of you guys stop in to say hi and hold up score cards for my performance!!!

I flew to Nancy's Restaurant in Willows CA today and did some playing on the way back.

HiC and bmurrish, I WAS smiling, not for the camera, but the fun. bmurrish, you're most welcome.

Girlscout remarked on how much my mood was improved since Friday... And it's true.

Thanks. cubscout
