  Well,  looks like I've been dragged into this online journal log thing too. nbsp;  I would say I plan on writing often,  but I'm a procrastinating ass and I know it.  so I probably will give up.
nbsp;  But,  nonetheless,  I'm gunna give it the old college try. nbsp;  Today was a cool day I 'spose.
nbsp;  Heck,  what day that starts with flying isn't a cool day? nbsp;  I awakened at the bright and early time of 11: 10.
nbsp;  And yes,  for me that's bright and early. nbsp;  I then proceeded on to Medina ( 1G5)
 for some solo flyin' time. nbsp;  It's so nice to be able to just show up with your flightbag and headphones and just head out to the airplane. nbsp;  No instructors to wait for or to tell you what to do. nbsp;
 It really is pleasant. nbsp;  Just as I was pre- flighting the airplane my dad and Steve showed up to watch. nbsp;  They helped me with the fuel hoses and whatnot and pretty soon I was up and running.
nbsp;  Despite the haze and light chop it turned out to be a nice day. nbsp;  Not near as choppy as I had planned on. nbsp;  Some guy in a Cherokee 140 decided it was too choppy to fly to Michigan.
I think he's nuts.  but whatever. nbsp;  I did the usual stuff out by Chippewa Lake and then I played " fake state trooper airplane"  over I-
71. nbsp;  I love chasing the cars and watching them all slow down to a uniform speed. nbsp;  After the flying and the landing Steve picked Greg up and we all went down to Skypark. nbsp;
 The airport is nice but it wasn't what Greg had built it up to be. nbsp;  I found only 1 or 2 airplanes to be nicer than Medina's and the runway/ taxiway configuration was a bit too cramped for my liking. nbsp;  Like a tiny Midway.
nbsp;  I don't think it'd be worth the 15 or 20 bucks saved on flying costs,  seeing as it's a farther drive,  but for Steve I'm sure it is.  and Greg just hates Medina for some reason. nbsp;
 Anyway,  a fun time was had by all.  Borders was hit up,  and so was Shake Shoppe and the airport. nbsp;  The new runway is almost done and I can't wait for our Indy Air flight.
nbsp;  9 days to go! nbsp;  Well,  now I must be off. be.
off. yes.  so I leave you to your resources and,  God willing,  I'll live to post another day.
