Whew

Well, I'm beat.

Got out to Kokomo early to move the T-6 out of Mike's hangar and back onto the ramp, done just in time to pull out the Saratoga and fly to Huntington to fly with Job in the J-3 for two hours.  Finished that, flew back to Kokomo, had someone deliver a chicken sandwich, topped off the Toga, flew it to Terre Haute, met with Dennis and did some ground and then flew for a good hour and a half.  Power off and on stalls, turning stall, dirty stall, slow flight, takeoffs and landings.  Landed, grabbed about 4 glasses of water to rehydrate (oh, it's 90 degrees today with good high humidity), and his client Paul came in. Spent time on the ground with him, went up and flew for not too long, mostly just some light air work, and one landing.  Got back in the Saratoga and flew home, helped Steve put it away, got in the car and drove to dinner, got in the car and drove home.  And I'm wiped out.  Got home around 9 pm I think it was.  Open cockpits all day except the Toga, sweaty, hot, dehydrated, one chicken sandwich from morning until 8:30 pm, loud, loud cockpits.  When I got in my car, I didn't even turn on the radio.  I just wanted, needed, silence.  I'm sitting in silence right now.  I had to be "on" ALL day.  Three brand new to me people, non-stop "on".  I'm so drained right now, my introvert storage unit is on empty.

My trip for MBros for tomorrow was canceled.  That was after I canceled my morning guy and my afternoon guy.  I'm not sure how many days like today I can do, which is what tomorrow was supposed to be before the trip, so I didn't reach back out to morning person, and I'm just going to see if I can fly with the two afternoon people.  That needs done, and I think I can handle that as one full day as is.  Adding in the other trip and the other person on the same day, that's just...a lot. 

So I had .8 in the Toga to go to Huntington and back, 2 hours in the Cub, 1.6 hours in the Toga to get to Terre Haute and back, and over 2 hours in the T-6.   There have been longer flying days than that, but first time tailwheel and first time T-6 flights are high tension, high stress, save your butt and don't let the airplane lose control, events.  Add into that having to do the "hi, just meeting you for the first time", sell yourself, prove yourself to three new people in one day.

Exhausting, seriously.
