I think everyone is out flying Doug and too busy to recap!

OK I'll go first. I just had my left fuel tank repaired so gave it a test flight to CRQ for a breakfast run yesterday. Today my wife and I flew to CMA for breakfast. Winds were 070 @ 15 G 27 when we left! The -10 handles the wind just fine and the left fuel tank (finally!) is leak free. Thanks for the help Bruce Hill! Next I'll pull the right tank....

Took my new RV to Las Vegas and back to pick up an online purchase that was tough to ship due to being an odd size and a little heavy.

Fantastic 1h 20m flight out there with an average headwind of about ten knots. Made the pickup, had lunch with a friend, and then headed back home on a 1h 10m flight. A little bumpy for about thirty seconds over the mountains on the way in and out of Vegas.

I have to say, coming from a 9 to 14, the extra 20 knots of true airspeed that I am seeing does make quite a difference in my perception of speed/flight time. The fuel burn is a bit higher (20%), but so is the comfort and baggage space..

We bent the spine of the world and watched what happened . . .

Took advantage of a beautiful Saturday morning and flew out to the Red Deer Forestry strip, 59 NM West of home. Not much snow made this amazing spot accessible. The gentleman who maintains the field took the following picture of my departure, a lot better than my lousy iPhone pictures.

Also sent off my transponder for an upgrade to an ADS-B out capable unit. My GPS175 is on its way to me and I should be able to finish my IFR upgrade in the next 5-6 weeks. Today I fixed a nagging little issue and now I have a working COM1 - COM2/NAV selector for my HDX. It's coming together!

Weather clear just enough to make the breakfast run. Flew from Hopkinsville, KY to Mayfield, KY.
EAA chapter 807 presented Ethan O’Neal with a $10,000 Ray Aviation Scholarship.

Left 52F early (after a 737 max sim that let out after midnight) and flew down to Galveston Island. Made it a nice 3 day weekend. Food and museums were all open and crowds weren't bad at all. Stopped at Ellington on way home to go to the Lone Star Museum.

Took a few shots of a buddies Piper (a few heavies in the background of this shot) and then later had a L-39 join up on me for a bit. Good day to bring the nice camera along.
