I'm booked

It's funny. Over the winter, being retired, it seemed weeks would go by without much happening. Going grocery shopping was a big event. I'm not complaining. I like doing nothing. Now the fly-in season is here. And work on the farm and house. And mowing the airstrip and yard. Fly-ins. I hear the term "fly-out" more and more now. A group from an airport will fly several planes out together for a breakfast or something. My summer schedule is filling up fast. Every single weekend thru August has an event I'm going to attend. I'm already double- booked for June 27. And on July 25th I'm having a fly-in here at my place. I 'll need to do some cleaning up for that event. I have a kitchen project to do which involves taking down a wall. My buddy's teenage son is going to visit from Europe for some flying lessons. I have to renew my airman medical and my CFI. I think I'm going to put a halt to any more plans for this summer. I want to have some "dog days". When I can just chill in an air conditioned room and read a novel. Actually I've already put on the brakes. Friday night I went to live theater with wife. 3AM Saturday morning took son to BWI airport for his flight. It turned out I'm too old for all- nighters. So I blew off taking the M10 to W29 for Wings and Wheels. Today I blew off the SFQ Virginia Regional Fly-in. I bet it was great. So I was hanging out and mowing today. The proffesor flew in with a friend. So wife and I rolled out the M10 and we took 2 planes to GED for a late lunch. It was a "Fly-out".
