I flew out to Oroville to meet Chris for lunch. We'd initially agreed on 12:00, but then Chris was running early so he called and suggested 11:45. Paul was in his hangar when we got to Oroville, so we stopped and chatted to him long enough that Chris could no longer get the breakfast burrito by the time we got to the golf club for lunch.

The weather was bad, then goodish, then bad, then good, by which time I'd given up on trying to fly. We did take Tilly next door to see Pumpkin, but all the grand dogs there sort of freaked her out and she wanted to come home again.

I've noticed that my ADS-B listener seems to be sending data, but I can't see anything on the "SkyAware Anywhere" page. I started tinkering with things and found there'd been a software update, so I installed that. I tried looking at the local maps, and couldn't even get to them. They're provided by lighttpd, so I tinkered around with that to find it wasn't starting. Checking around, it looks like it needed to be reinstalled, so I did that. Despite it saying it wasn't touching the config, it screwed that up and I stopped uploading data. I decided to just start over on a new micro-SD card.
Chris texted about meeting at the airport, so I drove over and collected him and Perry, then we went to lunch.
After lunch, I got the micro-SD card up and running, and got that working. Data was flowing, the local maps are now working and updating but the Anywhere map still doesn't work. So I gave up - that comes from the FlightAware servers rather than me directly.

I'm still not feeling great, so I wasn't going to be flying anywhere.
We took Tilly to see Santa.

We were supposed to be going to the EAA Xmas party, but I'm sick - my second cold of the season. It's my own fault for going out amongst the disease vectors, sorry, public.
