low and slow in the neighborhood

I knew I was going to Sentimental Journey. I looked at the weather and my schedule and decided to go on Friday. So when Thursday came I rolled out the M-10 Cadet and gave it a detailed pre-flight as she hadn't flown since Essex Sky Park Wings & Wheels. I hopped 11 miles to Cambridge for fuel. It was a nice sultry quiet day and I was the only plane there. It was the last day of Spring. While Jerry fueled me up, I had a lovely chicken salad at the restaurant, while I looked out the window at my little plane. Then home. Canopy open, 80 kts. The Choptank River. Settle down in over the trees to land west at my place. Wife has grill going. Pool looks inviting. Before I put the airplane away, I stick Lock Haven in the GPS, just for the hell of it. 165 nm. bearing 346 deg. Today is a great day. Tomorrow is lookin' good as well.
