Warm Days in Provo

The last few days have been rather pleasant in Provo. Noah finished her cake decorating class. I've been busy with my new business idea. I hope that the weather holds, I don't think I'll enjoy riding my scooter in the snow.

I went to a focus group about the BYUSA clubs and some of the bureaucratic problems. I hope I had some good advice, I am always the rabble rouser at these meeting. As I left, I ran into Chandler and Chris dancing to the band in the student quad. I end this post with a clip of their lovely moves:

Going down to Salina

So, I'm about 5 hours away from my private pilot's license and it has never been more entertaining. Monday, I flew down to Salina, UT. It is the smallest airstrip in Utah. Only about 3000 feet long and 50 feet wide. I felt like I was a million miles high looking down on that airstrip. My landing could have been better, it was more of a pebble skipping across the runway, but I got the Katana down.

I was going to fly up to MT Pleasant, but the crosswind was higher than I expected. So, I turned west and landed at Nephi.


I love these little airplanes. With a headwind, I had a ground speed of 45knts coming in on final approach for Nephi. At that speed, I'm practically a helicopter.
