I got to go up today... I've been so burned out lately with a crappy job, messed up relationship, and so on. I even felt burned out on flying - it'd been 3 weeks since I was up. Anyway, I went to the FBO today and discovered a loose front wheel bearing on the C172, so we had to waste some time fixing that. Then the radios were jacked up (I love rentals!). By the time I was ready, I was just like screw this. It's too hot and this sucks (gotta love S. FL in July).
But as soon as I took off I was totally stoked. Everything was clicking, PBI appch was in a good mood, and I just spent the flight screwing around and flying for the fun of it. It was great... I climbed a bit and cooled off, checked out the beach, flew over the intracoastal for awhile, and just had an awesome time. One of the best flights I've had, and it was a great reminder why I love flying so much and why I want to get into this crazy business. Today was a great day to fly.
