I just flew over to Grimsby and did five super quick touch and goes there. A full circuit usually takes about five minutes to complete, however, I ended up doing all five in less than fifteen minutes. I was in a bit of a rush as the Flying Club was closing at 6:00 and I took off around 5:10.
I was surprised how busy the QEW was:
And a shot coming back into St. Catharines:
It was a nice flight and I’m all current with my night rating again (need to do six take offs and landings within six months to remain current).
Had a rather nice surprise today. It was the one year anniversary for Mike and I (clearly he has a high tolerance level!), so he said he was taking me somewhere special. I had no idea where we were going, just that it was in Toronto. I had a few ideas of where it was, one of which being Medieval Times. I had been there about 20 years ago and loved it. I was so thrilled when I found out that we were going tonight. Mike bought us awesome seats too – front row in the centre. I really wish I brought my good camera, but only had my phone. The pics I took aren’t great – guess we’ll have to go back with the camera.
Here’s a pic of “Sir Richard.” This dude was awesome – was great at getting the crowd fired up and was quite amusing as well:
For some strange reason (since I love meat), I decided to get the vegetarian noms. Very good, glad I did. I swiped some of Mike’s chicken, so at least I got my protein.
We were cheering for the red and yellow dude:
When I was there the first time, they had one “evil” knight (green), but now there are no bad dudes. Also, I controlled myself this time and didn’t yell “Kill the king!”
The horse demonstrations were amazing (too bad my pictures aren’t):
This fella went airborne:
The horse actually yelled “Weeeeeeee!!!!” while he was in the air!
The show was amazing and we definitely want to go back. After the show, Mike took my pic with Sir Richard, the King and the Princess:
We got home just after 8:00 tonight and were greeted by four naked ladies in my apartment:
And then Mya decided to stare at the back of the couch. Dork:
Yup, four weirdos and one Christmas rat:
Tomorrow we’ll be going to breakfast with a bunch of peeps from our Recreational Aircraft Association, then Mike wants to check out some furniture at good ol’ Leons.
Today’s symptoms: For some reason, over the last week I’ve been experiencing much more pain than normal. It’s all over my whole body too – it literally feels like my bones are being crushed. I had a little pep talk with my bod and told it I’ve had enough of it’s silliness and to smarten up and feel better by tomorrow. Geesh.
