The year in review?

I just wanted to drop a few lines on the blog so that you knew I was still here. I never got around to completely updating the Oshkosh info. I'll just sum it up by saying that after we left Rockford which is about 90 miles south of Oshkosh, it took us 2 and a half hours to get on the ground and taxi to our parking spot! There were a couple of delays on the field, as well as the flights of Bonanzas and Mooneys that got there before us that we had to wait on. My claim to fame for the week was the landing. The controller said, "Blue and white Cessna, land on the blue dot." Well, I put my best spot-landing competition shoes on and dead-centered the middle of that circle! You don't know how sweet the words, "Nice job Cessna" sound after a flight!

We had a lot of fun all week. I have never seen so many airplanes in my life! It was hot at the beginning but after the storm blew through Sunday night (now THAT was WILD!), it cooled down a bunch and made it a very nice week. We came home on Saturday with just a single stop for fuel and leg-stretching. We parked our cars in front of the hanger and spent what seemed like forever pulling things out of the airplane. We finally got done and were each home by 4:00pm after being 1000 miiles away just that morning. And in case you're wondering, we decided to do it again in 2006 before we even got back to Texas!

That's about it so far. The rest of my time has been spent raising my boys, working full time, and just trying to stay instrument proficient! Hopefully I'll get around to using that Commercial before too long.
