About Me and My Blog

I am nearly 65 and nearly retired. Still don't know what I am going to be when I grow up. I have three blogs. The first as a student pilot at age 59 (erico49.blogspot.com). I had always wanted to fly, but for one reason or another I had never been able to pull it off. The second documents my experience with the Topsy Turvy updside down planter that was advertised on TV (erico492.blogspot.com). And my current project--a redwood slab (redwoodart.blogspot.com).

Feelin' Groovy

Two posts in a row with song lyrics in the subject lines. I like it! I flew last night. 1.6 hours and God knows how many touch and goes. It gets to be physically tiring. My left arm is sore (left hand on the yoke, right on the throttle during landings). The upshot is that the conditions were challenging.. windy and gusty.. .and I did well. I am gaining some confidence. For the first time my CFI asked me to evaluate my own performance.. meaning that I am far enough to know what it's supposed to be like. Things are cool. Flying Tuesday and Thursday next week.
