We had big plans for last weekend. Fly to Robe and then Kingston for lunch lobster. There is one thing though that can always come across and you can do nothing about it: the weather. Since the new runway is, for whatever reason, not finished yet we are forced to use the remaining one. Well, what can you do when the wind is blowing some 80° with 30 kts+ across the runway? Some would say: what's the big deal? It may not be but it may end up in a fence as well. The book says max 15 kts x-wind and we decided to stick to it. Although I have some significant taildragger experience this little thing is pretty demanding and I don't have it completely figured out as yet. So I tested the new camera in the hangar instead. (Ooooops I'm a poet and I didn't know it). I have this new sophisticated camera with a big lens and all I can do are simple pics in auto mode. Why do I carry this heavy thing around then? Oh, I know: it looks cool!

We also did some useful things on the weekend and progressed with the workshop renovations. It's not finished yet but already shocking looking at the before and up-to-date pics:

| after: the same place on Sunday |

Nobody knows the new use for this room yet but all agree it's just to good to be used as a workshop again.
There will be no flying next weekend and we're going to Melbourne ... by car :-(
