My son and I jumped in the plane this morning and flew to Los Banos with another friend. He and his wife flew in their plane. We walked across the street to eat at Country Waffles. Then we buzzed my wife and daughter and flew back home.

Later I took a kid and his dad for a ride in the plane today. They’re from our church. Really good people. It really makes my day to give rides to people who really love to fly. The dad has never been in anything smaller than a 6 seat Cessna, the kid has never been in any small plane (to my knowledge.) I need to put a mirror up so I can see their faces when I do high-G turns and pull-ups. My plane has tandem seating so I can’t really see the passenger’s face. Very relaxing morning.
