Great news! The weather finally cooperated and I was feeling well, so I was take Donkay on his inaugural flight! It was just him and I. Here were go, rolling down the taxiway on the way out to runway 24:

Fortunately, there was a nice clear spot over the Niagara District Airport, so I informed the tower that we would be heading up for some aerobatics. It was the first time I had done them in over a month, so it was a nice rust remover.

I’m thrilled to report, UK Donkay loved it:

It appears Vyctor was happy to get out as well.

For weeks now, he’s been plugged in over night (oil sump warmer) on Friday’s, in preparation for great weather Saturday. I think we’ve prepared on Friday to fly to London for breakfast at least six or seven times now. Then we’ve woken up to aviation weather like this:

I’m VFR (Visual Flight Rules) only so can’t (and have no desire) to fly through clouds and low visibility. It’s never a good sign when this is all that is listed:

We had a great time and hopefully are able to get up again soon:

Mike was out with his friends that day, so the kitties and I just chilled:

Today’s symptoms: I had a good day today. This week appears to be going nicely, symptom-wise. Of course, experiencing the usual pains and had the MS Hug a couple times, plus a worse-than-usual headache. But everything else seems to be fairly stable. I greatly appreciate times like this.

With all that is going on in your life, some amazing adventures and a few not so amazing you still have a bright smile, and that like to give you a big hug some day. Take care and keep flying, of that I envy you so much. I remain your friend, Rick Carpenter (Rick)
