May 12th

I took the car over to the airport to meet John around lunchtime.  I did a couple of circuits, then tinkered around with stuff for a while.  When John arrived, we flew up to Auburn, to find that the Google was wrong, they weren't open until 14:00.  So we flew back to Lincoln and took the car to lunch instead.

In the evening, Jen came over and we watched the penultimate episode of Game of Thrones.

I started the day at the airport, where I flew in the morning, then cooked lunch before the presentation - we talked about the Young Eagles event, what worked and what we thought we could do better.

May 7th

I was working late, so I had the morning to potter around.  I installed a second garage door opener thingy, so now I can open either door from my phone.  Yay.

May 5th

I started the day going to the airport and flying with Randy and taking his daughter up to Auburn for breakfast with Chris and Jackie.

I spent the afternoon working on the EAA website and doing stuff to kill time before Jen came over to watch Game of Thrones.

May 4th

Happy Star Wars day!

We went to the airport and helped out for the Young Eagles event.  Chris had come over from Cameron Park, and we started off slowly - we were the last to be hooked up with passengers, as we wanted people with jackets while it was colder, and sunglasses to protect the eyes.  Still, after that we were really busy, I believe I flew 8 times, including one of the parents (he's been bringing his daughters to events for a few years, and we were in the calm between storms), and one of the volunteers I was going to fly last year when the oil leak occurred.


When we got home, we were both too tired to do anything, so we watched "Deadpool 2" and had an early night.

May 3rd

I'd taken the day off (well, I still had a meeting to attend), so I went to the airport and swapped the tyres on the plane as one was showing some cracking.  Once I had the tyres off, I could see a couple of bulges, so they were definitely due to be changed.

Chris came over from Cameron Park, and we changed his oil, played with the GPS and looked at his bald tyre - we couldn't figure out how to get the (Beringer) wheel off, and apart, so we decided to leave that.  We also installed a silencer that Don gave him, to hopefully make it a bit quieter for climbing out of the airpark.

May 1st

A new month, so here are the stats:

Power billed

Power generated









So it looks like the car used an extra 200KWh (roughly $20), where the Jeep would have been about $200 in gas.
