I had the pleasure of meeting up with some of my coworkers in Hamilton for a meeting. It’s a nice change of scenery. We decided to head to Nations grocery store to pick up some noms for lunch, before the second half of the meeting. I think the meal I picked was rather charming, don’t you think?
The meeting went quite well, although I was hoping we would be done early so that I could have taken vacation time to go for a flight. However, it went went later and by the time we were ready to leave, the rain had hit Hamilton. It chased us all the way to St. Catharines – no flight for moi.
The next day, I did my motivational presentation to the Rotary Club of Niagara Falls Sunrise. We met at Betty’s Restaurant in Chippawa for 7:15am. They had a lovely breakfast buffet. I was getting everything set up for the PowerPoint, so Mike went and got my brekkie. What a nice group of people. They were all very friendly and so positive. It was a great way to start the day!
After my presentation, my mother came up and we had a nice visit for the rest of the morning. Mike went back to work in the afternoon and since the weather had cleared, I headed to the airport after little Janski headed home. I was pretty much the only one flying, since it was quite windy. My kind of flight!
Here’s a video of slow flight into the wind. I had the plane going as slowly as possible without stalling the wings (no more lift). As you can see, I’m practically flying backwards. Unmute is in the bottom right hand corner:
Ah yes, good times. It was a really fun flight. I went up to the tower afterwards and had a nice long chat with a friend. It was sad watching one of the Club planes head out to do circuits but could only do two due to rain coming in. 😦 See you soon, Vyctor! Always nice to get a free plane wash!
I stopped off at Iron Chef and picked up some dinner noms for Mike and myself. We had leftovers plus a cookie remaining, so I neatly bundled them all up for his lunch:
Classy, eh?
The weather was great today so Mike and I hit the skies. We flew to Guelph for lunch. The restaurant at the airport is amazing. There is often a line up to get in. We were the only ones there who flew in. Had a bit of a wait, but certainly worth it. Mike’s burger had a hash brown and egg on it. He looked like he was in ecstasy while eating it:
I had the egg white omelette with cheese, spinach and broccoli plus home fries:
Vyctor waited for us patiently in the cold:
We were stuffed and had to bring home most of our fries, hash browns and my toast. Mike was saying he was nicely full while we were getting in the plane. Twenty minutes later we’re over Grimsby, I look over and he’s snacking on the fries:
Geesh. One weirdo to another – come home to Boo playing The Floor is Lava game:
Today’s symptoms: Slept fairly well the last two nights, which has been amazing. Had a great day, although pretty bad nerve pain shooting down my left side. It feels like someone is sticking a knife in me and dragging it down the side of my body. Ouch!
