Flying
Had a chance to do two types of flying this weekend.
First was Craig’s birthday at the Red Lion out in Silverlake. I’ve always liked that place as it reminds of Resi’s Bierstube back in Chicago. After a few shots & beers, I think most us had reached cruising altitude. It was a lot of fun, especially now that Craig is older than me again.
Second was a little bit more literal, heading out to the Rose Bowl to fly RC planes with Rick. I had picked up a Aerobird Challenger on his advice, and turned out to be a great starter plane — forgiving of rookie mistakes, including one or two that plunged it into the ground. Rick’s a great teacher and I expect to bugging him to go flying a lot more.
