Much, Much Better

After about an hour and a half in the air, with three landings. It was just above freezing, so I pre-heated the engine for 20 minutes while I scraped the remnants of the plow-drift from the entrance to my tie-down. The engine started right up and ran well.

Weekend flying weather around these parts has been piss-poor for the last several months. Today was tolerable, though there was a significant crosswind at my home `drome. I had some serious rust to knock off my flying skills, so I flew around for awhile and then shot some landings at a different airport which had a runway that was closer to the wind.

I saw some neat sights, including a tug pushing a fuel barge that was trying to back out of an ice-clogged channel, but it was a bit cold to think about opening the window and shooting a photo. Twenty miles east-west was enough to go from complete snow cover to mostly bare ground, which probably had something to do with the grazing hit from last Wednesday's snowstorm.
