LVB Tracker - Beautiful Sunday

Like most Sundays this one really started around 11:30. After breakfast Sue took me to the airport to look for something stored in the hanger. I looked for it Saturday and Sue couldnt find it either. One for me:) Back home spent some time mowing up the last of the leaves in the front yard. We are done with leaves for this year. Now we are a go to clean out the gutters, it never ends. It was another nice day so I decided I wanted to go flying again. K8CNN and I have been talking about it for months now and I decided the buck stops today. Called Tom on the phone and we set a time of 14:00 at Medina airport. But before that I needed to help Sue put up 3 white christmas trees in the front yard. But before I got to that she decided to take the dogs for their daily ride in the car. They are nuts until that happens. I can't start cause Sue and I never agree about how these things get set up so I don't do anything with out her approval. If it was up to me they would be in next Wednesdays garbage pick-up... It's not up to me! So she finally came home and WITH LUNCH! Trying to soften me up. So we and the dogs woofed down McDonalds food and proceeded to get the trees up. Now I'm running late and the weather is not staying nice. So off the airport I go. While pre-flighting the plane I called flight service to verify there were no current TFR's (Temporary Flight Restrictions) or in other works... POTUS is not around today! The briefer did mention there was an Airmet for moderate turbulence below 8,000 feet. I sorta figured that due to the strong surface winds out of the west-southwest. Plane ran great and climbed like a rocket with the strong winds almost down the runway. 15 minutes later I was at Medina County airport. Nasty landing as there was a good crosswind and turbulence on final approach, a two bouncer with strong consideration to go around. Loaded up Tom, K8CNN and took off. Tom had never been in a small plane and quickly decided HE LIKED IT! Yay Tom!

Dogs are barking... Did Sue order in supper?
