I finally got around to flying in 2025 in Caro 1, after a rainy and foggy period. This was just a local flight. It looked hazy to the south and west, but clear in the other directions.

I added a new page to my web site showing a selection of my paintings. The link is in the header.

I managed another interesting flight in Caro 1. The fun part was the temperature (19 deg C) and clear sky over the foot hills. I looked down on the fog in the valley and was glad I don’t live down there.
The small hills were keeping the fog like in a bowl. But when I looked behind me I noticed that the bowl started overflowing.
An incoming front was rapidly pushing the cold humid air eastwards. I returned in time to land before the fog reached the airport, but had to tie the plane down in the cold wind that accompanied it.

This weekend a storm with strong winds moved through and knocked several thick branches from the trees here. Surprisingly, the day afterwards the weather was great and I was able to fly to Modesto where I visited one of my customers to help with his project. Here are some pictures from the flight.

Here are a couple more pictures from flying locally. The valley remained foggy, so I stayed over the foothills, flying seat.
