The Day

We really skipped Spring, and just went right to summer again.  It was like 87 degrees today!  Hot and muggy and hazy.  But first thing this morning it was really nice, and I went around with someone and dropped off a couple of Poker Run boxes for next weekend.  Two birds, one stone, they get some practice going to other airports, different sizes of runways, etc., and I get to deliver the boxes as needed.  Win'win.  We landed at 11:30, and the Cheyenne was right behind us, coming back from Muncie.

Later in the afternoon I went up in the Cub for the first time since last year, with a young man.  He's 16, his first time in a Cub, and he L-O-V-E-D it.  He was hooked.  He's a brand new primary student of mine in the 172, but his parents are thinking of buying a Cub for him that's for sale at their nearby airport.  Now that he's flown one, he's going to beg them to get it.  ;)  It was nice, actually.  The open door on the muggy day, you could smell the fresh cut grass, and I fit in there just fine.  Other than hand propping it with gloves with holes where my fingers poke out, defeating the purpose of the gloves, it was an enjoyable experience.  :)

At a BBQ place close to our house, someone has gotten creative.  They had a bush out on the divider cut into the shape of a pig with wings, and they keep decorating it.  It was holding a flag, it had on sunglasses, and this one I took a photo of, because it was a pig bush wearing a pink tutu and it just cracked me up.  Great way to bring attention to their business right there.

One dressed up pig.  ;)

We were very high up, like 2000' in a Cub!  See the runway down there?
