Scenes from my holiday weekend
Flew up to Willow Airport for an afternoon. Went flying mainly because I hadn't been in the plane for over a month. Flight up was completely uneventful. Flight back was nearly uneventful, except for the part where both of my main GPSs crapped out at the same time for five minutes. Both came back at nearly the same time, too. No one I've talked to has any idea what this could possibly mean, other than some sort of local jamming or something. Not a cloud in the sky, so I didn't >>need<< the GPS. But they sure are handy.
Mark and I watched about half of Borat. I decided I really don't like a movie whose point is to embarrass people who are trying to be polite and gracious. Not my sort of humor. I could also understand about 3/4 of what Borat was saying when he was speaking "Kazakh".
I'm a few episodes short of finishing Season 4 of Star Trek TNG. Dr. Crusher is distraught when her Trill boyfriend becomes a lesbian. Is this the first time ST dealt with the issue of homosexuality?
Monday morning I took my plane co-owner flying. He had gotten his instrument rating, but didn't know how to fly the plane using the autopilot. I forced him to fly several approaches without ever touching the yoke. The best part was when I made him fly a full approach, complete with procedure turn and "going missed" at the end. "What do I do?" he asked. "Absolutely nothing."
Went to the John Sybaslky memorial. It was strange seeming some folks that I knew from square dancing 20 years ago and hadn't seen since. Numerous folks flew in from out of town to be there. A big crowd. Lots of bittersweet memories. Too much food. Great dancing.
