It took an insane amount of time, but I finally got all of my 474 blog posts from my GoDaddy site transferred over to WordPress.  I’ll send everyone subscribed to my previous blog an email inviting them to subscribe to the new site.  If you would like my new blogs to automatically show up in your email once I publish them, you can subscribe to them by clicking on the Follow button down in the bottom right hand corner of my blog.  You just have to enter your email address and voila!

Have a decent day to report on this spiffy new blog site.  Being the only Friday the 13th this year, I was compelled (as I am every year) to fly over Port Dover and check out the thousands of bikers who meet up there.   The weather was a little poopy this year though.  I flew through a bit of rain on the way.  I was quite happy to see the plant at Nanticoke, which I flew over:

Soon after, Port Dover was in site:

The sea of black leather and motorcycles was soon apparent:

It almost doesn’t look real:

So cool to see!  I knew a few people who were down there at the time I flew over.  I’ll have to ask if they saw my cute little plane.

Coming back to St. Catharines, I hit a fairly big storm.  I heard there were thunderstorms there, so I did my first airport diversion ever since being a pilot, and landed at Grimsby to wait it out.  I contacted the St. Catharines Airport tower to let them know I had landed and got a weather update.  Within ten minutes of landing, I was able to take off again in a light shower and head to St. Catharines.  Just like me, my co-pilot was calm and collected in the less than nice weather:

On a bright note, my plane got nice and clean!  Once back in the hangar, the Flying Club’s massively fat cat (with my assistance) sat in the pilot seat:

After snapping a couple pics, I hoisted the enormous ball of lard and fluff back onto the ground.  I know have a very sore back.

Back at the apartment, Pinky quickly found the bag I had set on the kitchen counter after unloading it:

I said “Wink if you want a butt rub!”

Oh geez!

Today’s symptoms:  Still feeling pretty good after my awesome flight.  Not as fatigued as I usually get after flying.  Have a pretty bad headache though.
