A beautiful day for flying!

First thing this morning we ran down to NAPA and picked up the lawn mower keys, a quick stop at the store and then home to load the mower.  We got to the field about 10, I unloaded the roller and mower, mowed about half the runway and put it away.  I set up my new radar gun with a remote readout, I tried it first with the gun on a tripod across the runway out of the way.  It turned out that it is darn hard to make a pass right over it, I only got one reading the whole flight.  I took it off the tripod and we hand held it, aiming it at the plane, that worked much better!  Later, we got a 134 mph reading on the F-4.  I flew 6 of my planes, 1 helicopter and had a great time.  I also test flew two planes for other flyers.  We ended up with 9 members there flying today.  Vera made an apple pie after we got home and it is delicious!
