We just had another Friday the 13th, which of course meant a huge gathering of bikers in Port Dover. I always love it when I can take a few hours of vacation from work to go flying:
I had another pilot fly with me since I was still a little gimpy from my sprained ankle. We headed out just after 1:30. The weather was decent, although storms were a’brewing to the North. Since the weather was good, there was a great turnout of bikers:
You typically have to book a hotel room years in advance. Thus, many folks camp out, as you can see in the top of this pic:
There were quite a few boaters and a float plane off the shore too:
After flying over Port Dover a couple times, I decided I needed to visit the little Pilot’s room, so we headed up to Brantford Airport. Unfortunately, they were repaving the entire apron, so I was unable to take the bathroom break I needed. Fortunately, I made it back to St. Catharines without an accident.
I wasn’t the only one enjoying yesterday’s nice weather. I let the kids out on the balcony and Pinky went into full blown spaz-mode:
All four of them were out there tonight. I’ve never seen any of them up on the air conditioner before – rather cute:
I was able to go flying again today. I took a female pilot-in-training for an aerobatic flight. She had a blast! I’m taking someone else up on Monday morning, then I have two charity golf tournaments to fly over later in the week. I’m sure they’re really getting sick of my mug at the Flying Club….
Today’s symptoms: Feeling pretty good! Still dealing with the sinus headache, but it’s getting a tad better each day. My sprained ankle is much better today and a nice shade of blue! No major MS symptoms to report – just a few aches and pains in my left leg.
