Chazd's (Charles Dowdell's) News Burps

I completed my bi-annual flight review. Good. We had a neighborhood garage sale, and we participated, made a few bucks and got the exercise and refreshed/repacked "the stuff". We found a couple very useful items as well that we put to use, (didn't remember it was in storage). Earlier in the week we went downtown and met briefly with a former US Ambassador to Venezuela.

It was a good week. They are all good, even if I don't think so. Stay with the program! My Aunt was in town for a day. Buddy the goose has been missing. We were getting to enjoy his sassy attitude around the house. The back up camera in the leaf came in handy so I didn't run him over. I started calling the camera "The Buddy Cam". More than once I caught him flapping his wings warning me not to leave as I backed out the driveway. I am working on my IFR rating. It is requiring more focus that I originally thought it would. It will be worthwhile. Getting a pilots license is a really good thing to do, getting additional ratings is quite a natural thing to do. Being a licensed pilot is a reasonably small club worldwide. It is always fun to meet other pilots and talk planes.
