Flying

 We went flying at Toledo today.  It was a big surprise when we walked out to leave and it was raining.  I had to use the wipers most of the way to Exit 57, then it let up.  When we got to the flying field it was sprinkling again.  By the time I had put the awning out and got set up it had quit.  There was no wind so I shot touch and goes with the Skylane for the whole first flight, lots of fun because I could do both left and right hand patterns.  Then I flew the F-4 Phantom, I am getting used to it and got nice landings after both flights today.  I also made a couple of nice flights with the Bob Hoover P-51.  We left earlier than normal to beat the heat plus the wind was picking up as I loaded up and said my good byes.  On the way home we dumped the holding tanks and filled up with gas.  I spent the afternoon and evening working on the Kitfox.  I knew I had painted the landing gear but I could not find it, I do a good job of hiding things from myself at times.  As I was heading in for the evening I spotted them hanging on a piece of wire in the shop's front room.
