I had a flying lesson tonight. I felt like I did better on some stuff, but there is something always to add. Pile it on. It takes time and effort. Reading really helps maximize a lesson. One of the fundementals I really have to work on is a good checklist mentality. I am the first to recognize that a pure checklist mentality may not be optimal for finding new things, but there is considerable merit in checklists. In fact, I have a list everyday, every week, and throughout the year for work. Staying on the list is a required discipline. I need to be able to be in checklist mode and, when I need to, be out of checklist mode. When I came in for a landing tonight there were some folks watching. I went up to them after we landed and they asked "Was that a student landing?", "Why yes it was", was the reply. "It looked really smooth" he said and he showed me the camcorder in which he had it recorded. "It didn't feel very smooth to me.", I replied.

It has been a while since I last posted. The nice weather and what-not takes priority. Here a couple of interesting clips I found on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhUO4pdGCf8 www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyMGLjo6Ojo Greg Mills was down for the last three days. We got the fence all set. It was a lot of work but it looks good. Here are pics of Ultima hanging out in the pasture under the fruit trees.
