Time flys...

Unfortunately though, I haven't been flying much although I've been busy. Since my last post I've been to California twice, once for pleasure and once for business. I've been riding the motorcycle to work when the schedule permits but I haven't been on any pleasure-rides. I'm riding it to work all this week and it's the coldest temps I've ridden in to date. It was about 40 this morning and I did pretty well but I can see why folks in freezing temperatures have heated clothing, grips, and seats. We ordered a black Givi a240 windscreen that hopefully will arrive in time to install it this weekend and I expect it to help somewhat with the wind. Still, today my legs were the coldest but I didn't put my liner in my overpants either because I knew it would be too warm this afternoon for the ride home and I didn't want to go to the trouble to mess with it. I'd need it for any longer rides though. I plan to do some IFR approach practice on Microsoft Flightsim during the holiday, then get a buddy to be my safety pilot in a real airplane. Flightsim can't completely simulate what it's like in the clouds but it's real good for working on procedures and timing. If you can get some practice with the "flow" of an approach, it really helps when you get in the real plane, and saves some money in the process!
