I bet you didn't even know I was gone.... Anyway, decided to take a trip to the beach for some much needed stress reduction. So, took off on Dec 30th to spend the night at Jekyll Island, GA which is about a 3 hour flight depending on head winds. Took off at sunrise and 2 1/2 hours later touching down next to the ocean. What a great flight! I just went by myself since my wife had to work. So, my plan was to come back late Dec 31st afternoon so I could celebrate the New Year at home. Not to happen. My wife called me and told me that there were 30-40mph gusts. Yikes! So called weather brief and they said the same. Sooooo, had to spend New Years at the beach...so sad...
Anyway, made it home a few hours ago. I did have some wind this morning stopping for fuel. 20-25 mph wind "almost" down the runway. Plane handled it well.
Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Miss You
Dennis,
Your flying logs are an inspiration to us grounded folks.
Love the pics and the "get-away spirit"!
Thanks for sharing--
Still trying to get some paint on the fuselage.

I spent a little more than a year building my plane. Right after work every day I would go to the hangar and work until bedtime. Every weekend and holiday I was there working and dreaming. Dreaming of the day that I could hop into something that I built, take to the sky and fly with that silly little grin we all get. I try and write about my "escapades" because I know there are those of you out there still building, still dreaming of "your" day. It will come my friends, it will come.
