This morning at 05h30 when you were still in dreamland I came overhead your place on the way to Petit.

Weather does look lekker for a afternoon flip - Had a headwind of note this morning but nice and smooth untill I hit Bapsfontein where it became less smooth but still flyable

Was up at 5. Take off was supposed to be first light at FAVB, but had to wait for oil until after 8am so could have slept in. Have I mentioned I am not a morning person. :evil: :evil: :evil:

If the runway is wider than it is long, rethink your circuit.

Yip and only 7 hours logged this week :cry: , got to clock up some tomorrow on flyday - woohoo. At this rate (which I can't afford :roll: ) I'll be doing 300+ per year. But how do you NOT fly at every oppurtunity? I will ponder this bizzare question tomorrow whilst flying :P

Will hopefully be routing towards Leeupoort today, back tomorrow.

Route B was via Pinedene only 160km (west then north). Chick wanted north then west routing, as she's driving via Warmbaths.

Looks like it won't be too windy later today :P.

Will do Xwinds, Pinedene soon -0<, maybe even Sunday.

Ps aren't there jobs for delivery trikes? :twisted:
