Well, its been a long cold winter here in Minnesota with many days well below zero. Some of you will remember that in late October I lost one of my friends in an airplane accident. It put a huge damper on my interest to fly (and build) for that matter. I let my medical lapse, got out of currency and listed my plane for sale on several websites. When a serious buyer came along I stopped and asked myself if this was the road I really wanted to go down.
So, last week, I passed my medical and called a flight instructor to put me through a BFR and see if I remembered how to fly one of these things. I'm happy to say I passed with flying colors and I enjoyed every minute of it.
Today, with the temps hovering around 30 degrees, I rebelled against old man winter, opened the garage, cleaned the shop and installed my leading edges and W-919 doubler strips. Man, did I have fun. I can honestly say I'm glad I didn't give it up and I'm glad to be back in the saddle again.
Thanks to all who pushed me in that direction.
