November 13th

We went and met Randy at the airport to fly up to Auburn to meet Shane for brunch.

It took us a while to get out of Lincoln due to traffic - when it's pretty windy things get a little hectic, as the downwind leg is fast, but then it takes people forever to take off and get out of the way :o)

At Auburn it was also pretty busy, and it didn't help that there was a guy who's first radio call was when he turned downwind - I thought he was a totally different plane.  Still, extending my downwind into the depths of beyond made everything work out in the end.

After brunch, we went and did the monthly lake fly-by.  It's still pretty low, even after the recent rain.

There were some interesting people doing things wrong at Lincoln when we got there - a guy circled down from 5,000' directly over the runway, for example.  Still, we landed without any unnecessary drama.

I started the day at the airport where I'd been supposed to fly a Young Eagle.  He'd wanted to go in the gyro, then he'd cancelled, then he'd said he was coming, and then he went with Jim because it was cold.  I'd said it was cold beforehand, so whatever.  There was a young lady there who's looking to join the Air Force, and was interested in gyroplanes, so I took her for a quick flight before her scheduled Young Eagles flight with Dan.

Shane, Randy and I went and checked out the new Fingers cafe that's replaced the Spitfire cafe at Lincoln.  It seems pretty good, even just for a sticky bun.

November 9th

I attended an EAA webinar on radio communications.  Some day maybe I'll try talking to a tower again :o)

November 8th

There was a lunar eclipse, so of course it was cloudy :o(

November 6th

The day started out crappy, but later in the afternoon Randy and I managed to get out for a flight.

 It was pretty windy, so we turned back a little earlier than we'd originally planned, and toddled back at ~35kt.  I pulled up to the hangar just as my GPS went into night mode :o)

November 5th

It was a crappy day, so we drove to meet Chris, PJ and Shane for lunch.
