IMG_4075.jpegI hope it’s OK that I kick this off this weekend. I’m assuming Doug is busy with family stuff.

On a whim, I decided to head to Steamboat Springs, CO (KSBS) for the 4th celebration. They’ve got a live band playing 80’s music. Lots of stuff I haven’t heard since high school. (Not that I’ve actively been trying to hear any Cindy Lauper.)

The flight over was fantastic. My little RV3 came through again cruising between 12,500 and 13,500’ on the way over. 95 degrees in Denver today. It’s 69 degrees here in Steamboat as I type this. Headed home (CO12) back to my endless list of projects on Monday morning.

I planted the seed. Doug watered it. Now we're into the next generation.
Congrats & thank you!

I didn't do anything with my RV this weekend. But, I did fly my Legend Cub, and park next to an RV. And, What better way to celebrate Americas 250th than to take the Legend Cub for a flight? Especially fitting given that the former owner of this airplane was a four star general, who was a Vietnam POW for 7 years. This airplane, spec’d by him, is painted in a scheme reminiscent of his Air Force trainer.

[SPX posted the very first WDYD post, and I asked him if I could continue it weekly. It’s nice to know somebody will fill in with WDYD posts when I’m on line trimmer duty LOL. Appreciated. dr]
