Not exactly the weekend but my weekends have always been skewed....

Surfed some clouds on Thursday to accompany my parents' Dr appointments, looking forward to a couple airborne hours utilizing the airplane instead of the dread of driving 5+ hours.

Taking her pic walking into Prom last week.....

Time literally flys, 600 hours unforgettable flying and counting....

Finally!

After 5 months of recuperation indoors. Tending to all things Firewall Forward.

My airplane was finally able to go outdoors and see the sunshine with all of its parts and pieces in the right places. Just a few minor issues to tend to and this punch list can be signed off and on to the next list of improvements.:D

Seems pretty fitting for it to join the 200 knot club (documented and as the new owner) on a break in flight.

I would also like to take this opportunity to publicly thank David (HFS) for all of his assistance and knowledge. I am blessed to have him as a friend and none of this would have come together without his patient mentoring. Thank you sir.

Trying to get your plane on the front page? Nice try Blain, but I see Doug Reeves was on to you. Better luck next time :)

I am just happy I finally got to do some flying. The weather here has not been great. The few nice days, I have been stuck at work. I changed the oil as well. Sad it calendared out, rather than hours....
