A new record!

We went flying today, the club had a meeting scheduled at the Goble field.  It turns out that the day was a new record for the lowest high temperature, 60 degrees!  When we first got to the field, no one was there so we continued on to St Helens.  We parked on the water front and watched the river for a few minutes.  The picture is the museum which was right behind us.  On the way back to the field, we drove by an old friends house to see how it looks now.   Cliff passed away a few years back and I surprised myself by driving right to it.  The house looked the same, but the yard had lots of stuff in it.
Luckily, I had grabbed a fairly warm jacket before we left, I just wish I had put on my insulated boots!
I had put a new receiver in the Lancair, got it test flown and trimmed out, I will have to adjust the right thrust as it was yawing left on take off.  I really had to concentrate to see it against the overcast.  I ended up putting two flights on it and two on my Sukhoi before we left.  The scheduled meeting didn't happen because the president and I were the only ones to show up.
