Urbana

I got about 6 hours of sleep last night but I'm still not caught up. I'm beat. Up at 6:30 again. I'd had to top off my car last night at 10:30 pm because I only had 10 miles left before it was on 'empty', and my left rear tire went down to 23 psi even though Steve had filled up all my tires awhile ago to 30. So I took his car this morning and he took mine again to check on the tire and air it back up. 

I went with Nick in the Conquest over to Urbana, Ohio. It was a 26 minute flight over. There was rain, some storms to go around, no big deal.  There's a little cafe on field, and it's the only place to really sit there, so I went in there and had "The J-3", which was two eggs, bacon, and toast. The waitress there pointed out the window and said "That's a nice airplane", and I said "Thanks". She said "That's YOURS? YOU flew that here?" I said Yep! She didn't leave my table for 10 minutes. She asked a ton of questions, started showing me videos of her daughter who is a singer in Nashville trying to break out, said she never sees airplanes that size in there and she hadn't seen a woman pilot here before. We were only there for 2 hours, and when I fired up and taxied out, the waitress was there outside waving wildly goodbye at me. I made a friend. :)

I got back home by noon, but our house was being cleaned so I went next door. Tried to nap but my phone kept going off and I couldn't really sleep. So I've been catching up on billing, paperwork, receipts, logbooks yadda yadda. And the blog, too. Go non-stop from 5:30 am to 11 pm three days in a row and you get a little bit behind. I need to sleep in tomorrow if I can.

I don't even know what interesting things I missed to tell you about that wasn't flying related. Well, probably nothing since I've sat in an airplane for basically the last 4 days straight...

See the rainbow over the fuel truck there?  :)

Storms off to the left and a bit ahead
