If there is a better way to end the week than go to the airport and put an hour or so on your favorite airplane, would someone please tell me what it is?

1.2 hours on the 182. Experimenting with power settings for fixed rate climbs and descents. Potting around, enjoying the view. Proving to myself that I can trim it out so it will fly hands off for more than a couple seconds. Was there something at work that annoyed me today? Gee, I can't remember. There is NO mental therapy like messing around with airplanes.
 
I spent .9hrs this morning getting checked out in the school's 172R. It was sweet plane. After a few manuevers in the practice area, back to the airport and straight in per tower instructions, 1800rpm had me perfectly on the glideslope to the fence in steady 17kt winds. It was a nice landing too. A little ego stroking when the instructor says "very nice" to the landing. Signed off in the plane.

:yes:
