Finally, back in the air.
I hadn't been in '614 since September.
It was a beautiful and mild December afternoon . Almost too nice, as there was little of any cross. wind, though to knock the dust off it was a wonderful day.

I began by just doing a series of standard landings, trying to do it by the numbers and keep my eyes outside the cockpit looking around. Flying is so much more enjoyable when you enjoy the scenery. I've been reflecting on those guys to get a buzz and relax hunting. While I might enjoy walking in the woods hunting, I feel much more in my element when I push the throttle in and pullback on the yoke, playing in ground effect, learning the 'feel' of the plane.

After about 5 landings (one short, one soft) I decided to head to LLU. I climbed to 3000 ft and tried to stay at +/- 100'. Landed at LLU, flew over our house at about 500' and headed back to PTS. I flew over the Millers at Praise State Park on the way back. Two more landings as the sun was approaching the horizon.

Topped off with some hanger talk' at the terminal,I would Say it was a very good day.

Given my God, my family, and the opportunityto fly, I would say I am anexceptionallyblessed man.
