Springy

So while I tried to not talk about the weather as much, I can't help it, because it was in the mid-fifties today, and I was able to wander around in a t-shirt all day, and it was marvelous.  Marvelous I say!

I got this new stuff to try to help fend off headaches, and I woke up this morning, with the drastic change in temp and pressure, with the start of one.  So I took it, and I didn't feel great for a few hours, but by afternoon, it was gone.  Now I don't know if it was that stuff, or if it was just more manageable today and tomorrow I'll be in more trouble as the temps and pressure drops from the 60s down to 24.  *sigh*  We shall see, I guess.  I'm half not wanting to go to sleep because I feel okay right now and I don't know that I will when I wake up again.

I went over to Muncie in a Bonanza, and dropped off a friend so he could pick up his other airplane.  I left his airplane in a different state than I found it, something I don't usually do, but I enjoy picking on him.  I switched his XM station to a nasty hair metal screaming station, and I turned up the volume.  So he won't know about it until he turns on his tunes, which he doesn't do a lot in the Bo unless he's taking it on a trip, and these days he usually takes his other plane on trips.  So it's going to be awhile before he discovers this, but when he does, it's going to be loud and bad, and I am going to laugh and laugh.

This afternoon I went up with a student for checkride prep.  Not quite ready, having trouble remembering what to do and when for every maneuver, still.  We're getting there, but out of about a dozen maneuvers, she got about two of them right without missing something important.  Ground is the same way, needing more work.  Getting close to the end, but not quite there to schedule the checkride.

Tonight we went out and had a meeting about scholarship applications for our EAA chapter.  We've got a few candidates and we're looking forward to helping them accomplish their flying goals.  It's great that we get so much scholarship money in to be able to give people a lift in this rather expensive venture. It's hard to get that first leg up...
