I was hoping to fly to Brantford yesterday, but the weather pooped out big time. It was supposed to stop snowing in the morning, but it didn’t until almost 3:00. At least it was the complete opposite today. Totally calm, very few clouds, albeit a little nippy. A co-worker had arranged a flight for her husband, as he really wanted to do aerobatics. I went to the Flying Club a little early as there were a few things I wanted to do on the plane. I vacuumed him out, installed a new mount for the video camera, and fixed a little piece of plastic I accidentally kicked off the instrument panel during my last flight. My co-pilot and his family arrived and off we went. We first did some aerobatics over the airport while his wife and kids watched from the observation deck outside of the Flying Club. Then we headed over Niagara Falls. He took this shot before pulling out his own video camera to get some groovy footage:
We did a low and over at my mechanic’s snow-covered grass strip. It’s quite a challenge to find when there’s snow on the ground. After flying around the area for a bit, we headed back over the airport for a few more maneuvers, then down for the landing. We were up for an hour – it went by so quick though. He loved it and I was quite happy with the flight too.
I had a nice visit with Lil’ Jan today. We wandered around the Seaway Mall, then over to Zehrs for noms.
Back at home, I walked into the bedroom and called Mya’s name and she staggered into the middle of the floor and collapsed in a heap of cuteness, as seen here:
Mya is usually much more photogenic than Abby. Abby just gets ticked off when I pull out the camera. Take this shot where I politely asked her to happily pose next to my root beer:
So snarly! Someone else who is more like Mya in the photogenic department is Vyctor. Check out this cute shot I took today:
Even feeling exposed without his wheel pants, he still has that charming glow about him.
I think the winning photo for this week has to be this precious little number. I’m not sure if Boo was knighting Mya, or trying to heal her with the laying on of a paw…cute nonetheless!
Today’s symptoms: I felt much better today than I did yesterday. I was quite tired and weak yesterday, for some reason. I guess I just needed to rest a bit after my exciting week.
