I've been doing some flying lately. Monday, I took my wife up with me on a lesson and we had a great time. It was my first time in a Cessna 172 in a very long time. Compared to the Cessna 152 I normally fly, the 172 had a ton of extra power to it. Very fun to fly! The lesson with Sheri onboard went very well, right up to the point where my wheels were supposed to touch the ground again. I blew that landing in Guiness Book of World Records fashion. I wasn't trying to show Sheri how to screw up a landing and bounce down the runway. Hopefully, this will be the worst she'll see from me.
I was so sick of how badly I flew on Monday, (and ATA's schedule changed) I flew again on Tuesday afternoon. All I did was Touch n Go's. Out of 8 landings, I was able to squeeze out 1 nice landing. I would blame the crosswind that I had while landing, but I'll just admit that I need more practice.
I also had a great salad for dinner...along with some pizza that was a few days old. Yep...the rest of the night I was on the bowl producing "Salad Shooters."
