We stayed at the Acme Hotel, just two blocks fromĬhicago's Magnificent Mile on Michigan Avenue. The day we left the weather warmed up just a bit, and the lake turned brown! Weird.Īfter driving back from Wisconsin, we spent two nights in downtown Chicago. We build a sledding ramp!Ĭhristmas was very nice, they did a great job making it special for the kids. The lake was almost frozen, but not quite enough to go out on. And we got about 4 inches of snow on Christmas eve! Perfect! It stayed below freezing most of the time we were in Wisconsin, so the snow never melted. Plenty of snow, but the driving was a piece of cake.
The cabin was awesome and had plenty of room. Next morning we drove to Eagle River, Wisconsin. First stop was overnight at their house in Inverness. So Lynne and I flew to Chicago and rented a car for the week. Josh mentioned that they used to rent cabins in northern Wisconsin when he was a kid. Quite nice, with a docile wind on the runway, and no bone rattling turbulence.įor Christmas this year, the daughter asked if we could go with her to visit with her in laws. Weather on the ground, Dave and I got back in the plane and flew back to KAUS. I called here and she said thatīee Cave had a huge gust of wind and rain, but it had already calmed down. To land at Smithville and figure out what to do. We quickly came up with a plan B and decided Planes had to go around because of the 28 knot crosswinds at Bergstrom. I was viewing the approaching clouds withĪpprehension, and the ADDS-B in was showing turbulence and icing airmets in areas we were about to fly through. On the way home, the leading edge of the front had rolled through Austin. What was going on? Just lunch as it turns out. Visit since there is a diner on the field, the Runway Cafe. From there we flew to Gulf Coast Regional outside of Lake Jackson. We flew to Palacios and started an approach there, but it was too socked in and The Lady Cav golfers are also the State Champs!įlew safety pilot for Dave Kaplan. You're a big deal when the Batmobile is in your parade.
IS THERE SCHOOL ON THURSDAY JANUARY 5 2017 FULL
Sage went home with a bag full of candy tossed from the parade vehicles. She earned lots of looks from the other kids curious about her old school band letter jacket. Charlie now owns the US record for passing completion percentage.Īnd so we took the granddaughters to the victory parade.
Michael Brewer, Baker Mayfield, and now Charlie Brewer. We've seen many good quarterbacks (and the rest of the positions, too!) starting with Todd Reesing, Garret Gilbert, In fact they were rated #1 in the state, and #5 in the country by MaxPreps. It's a pure pleasure to watch these teams play, they are so good. I've been watching the Cavaliers since the daughter started
The Lake Travis High School mens varsity football team added a 6th star to the LT logo! TheyĢ016 Texas 6A Division I state championship game. On a break-in flight, flew to Stephenville to have lunch at the Got in some tailwheel time in the 170, and now have over 900 hours of flying.Īll in all, despite the engine woes, life is treating me well.Ī quick catch up post. First flight after reassembly was logged on 11/12/17. Had to take all four cylinders off, remove the connecting rods, and ship them to Colorado for inspection. Once I gave up waiting and did it myself (with oversight from other A&Ps on the field), I was back flying in 3 weeks. The log book shows I was down for 3 months (mostly waiting for the previously mentioned mechanic). The trip to Nebraska would bring me home just under the hours specified in the AD for mandatory inspection. When I left for the eclipse I had just found out that the connecting rod bushings used in the overhaul were subject to an airworthiness directive from Lycoming. This included at least one trip to Port A (pre-hurricane), lots of local area TnG flights, and a trip to Nebraska for the eclipse. I put about 35 hours on the engine over the next 8 months. Way too many things, I'll try to remember some of them.Īt the previous post, had just put Cav back into service after months of downtime due to engine issues.
