I'm Lloyd---this is my new blog

I don't really know what a blog is. I don't know how to set up a cool looking home page or anything. My wife will help me with that stuff. I'm going to get my friends to write some posts and see if we can have some fun. This blog will be mostly flying tales and hangar lore, but I will answer questions because I know the answers. I gonna start by telling a typical story from my flight experience. I welcome your comments, replies, tales of your own. Here goes: Back about 30 yrs. ago my friend Pablo and I were returning to work from a holiday weekend in the DC area to the New River Valley in Virginia. We were flying along in my Citabria, I was in the back and I had fallen asleep while Pablo flew. I was awakened suddenly by a loud "thunk". It sounded to me like an engine "clunk". I leaned up and yelled at Pablo (this was before headsets and intercoms) "what the hell was that?" He said "I hit a tree". "Oh, " I said. "I thought we were kind of low". We talked (yelled) about maybe stopping and checking the damage, but she was flying OK. I asked him why he was cruising so low and he said he was following I-81 and wanted to read the signs to note his progress. We continued to New River, but I just couldn't get back to sleep.
