Concord, NC

The ole alarm went off at 4:30 am.  In case you're wondering, that's early.  I woke up to fog.  Well, I woke up to 200' and 1/2 mile, and by the time I got out to the airport, it was down to 1/4 mile and fog. Normally I don't launch if I can't get back in, but there were two airports nearby at above minimums and the fog was localized, so we went ahead and took off.  Just a few feet above the ground it was severe clear, and very pretty. 

The weather was fine, the flight was easy and uneventful.  Down there in Concord, I took the courtesy car and went into town to eat at a quirky local breakfast restaurant where I had walnut raspberry pancakes and bacon and coffee, and it was really good.  The courtesy car was an all electric car, plugged into a unit in the parking lot. My first all-electric car.  :)  I drove around and looked around for awhile, checked out the town.

I made it back home around 4 pm. Uneventful. Hot, muggy, smooth, uneventful.  Good enough.  I didn't photoshop any of these photos.

The moon up there

Just off the ground, fog hugging the ground, the moon, not the sun, above.
