June 30th

I didn't sleep well as there were fireworks being let off last night, getting Tilly all upset.  I pretty much dragged through the day, then we went over to the airport.  It had been our intention to fly for a little while, then take Chris to dinner, but he got out of his ground school class early, so we skipped the flying and just went to dinner.

June 29th

I got up early and flew the gyro to Auburn to meet our friends from Columbia airport for breakfast.  Chris was doing his ground school, and Randy was in San Diego, so I flew back and did a little maintenance - I'm at 975 hours now, with the rotor bearing inspection coming up.

In the evening, we watched "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald".

June 28th

Today was the last day of the Kids' Camp, so we took them all flying.  I flew 3 in the gyro, and the rest flew with Bruce (Cardinal)  and Dan (RV-10).  Richard with the Starduster was out, so we were expecting to have to keep an eye out for him, but he ground looped it (we think) on one landing.  Luckily it was off the side of the runway, so it didn't close the airport.

I went to the airport for Kids' Camp, where we talked about lighter than air aircraft, then had them trying to get the weighting just right on helium balloons.

June 26th

I went over to the airport, dragged the Piper Aztec out of the EAA hangar, and taxied the gyro round and put it in the hangar for the Kids' Camp talk.  It seemed to go OK, and then Dan had them flying drones - I took the gyro out of the hangar for that.

June 25th

I started the day fixing the broken sprinkler, then went to the airport to help with the Kids' Camp.  Kids are a lot of work, aren't they?

After that, I took the gyro out for a few circuits, then went home.

June 24th

I went over to the airport and set up for the Kids' Camp, then joined everybody else in corralling the 7 kids (7-12) as we took them on a tour of the airport.  It was interesting to see some people actually working, and Byron (bless him) suggested I start teaching for Skyways.  I'm not a CFI :o)

When I got home, I took the guts out of a new sprinkler valve and put it in the old sprinkler valve, so I didn't have to cut it off the pipes.  While it's fixed that leak, it looks like I still have to dig up one of the sprinklers and fix its leak.

In the evening, we watched "Captain Marvel".
