Looking To The Sky

Friday Flight Then Poker

I usually only fly Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.  However with the weather getting in the way and life for me and my instructor, this last week I had to do a flight on Friday to get one in. Not that it was a problem, just different.  I work half-days on Friday so I was able to get to the airport around 1pm instead of the usual 4:30.  I really liked flying at this time and on Friday since there weren’t a lot of people flying (could have been due to the wind) and when I finished I still had the majority of my day to fly.

The flight was more practice.  Not really learning anything new, just trying to sink in what I’ve already learned.  I practiced S-turns and turns around a point and then finished with landings.

After the flight Christina and I went down to Salem so I could have a night with the boys playing cards, and for Christina to celebrate her sisters birthday.

The game consisted of playing Texas Hold-em with a $10 buy-in.  Cigars, snacks, and drinks were also on hand and quite enjoyed by all.

There were twelve of us and I ended up taking the pot for $90!  ($10 for 3rd, $20 for 2nd)  Such a good time!
