Thanksgiving.

Thought I'd use the milestone of Thursday's holiday to kind of recap what has happened in the last 2 months since I started this little flying journal...

Flying hours, (including tailwheel instruction) = 21.5

Not bad. It's short of goal, but not bad at all. I've flown several hours in the Tommy, done some XC, had some $100 hamburgers, had my Bi-annual Flight Review, received a clean medical, received tail wheel instruction, flown a Citabria, made my first take-off and landings from grass, experienced spins and aerobatics in a Cub, flown from the right seat in an SR-22, and had a great time doing all of it. Looking forward to the next 20 hours, and more challenges and experiences.

As for this scratchpad of mine, it has some pretty impressive stats of it's own:

I have had 926 unique visitors, averaging 32 per day. They represent 10 different countries, although 87% of traffic was from here in the U.S.

Childs play compared with some online journal's, but not bad for being active only 2 months, and having not planned on having much more than a place to keep a mini log book. Tip o' the hat to John from Aviation Mentor, as it seems the vast majority of my hits came from his fine web sites. Pay him a visit. Learn something...


Was hoping to take advantage of the day off this week and go flying, but as of today the weather looks to not be cooperating. Wind, rain & cold all expected to make an appearance. Guess it will be football and beer instead. There are worse ways to spend a Thursday....

Hope everyone has a safe and fun Thanksgiving.
