Left the house at 8:00 this morning on the way to fly. wind was dead calm when I got there, my CFI and I flew for 1.3 hours and we called it a day. We were just doing pattern work as I haven't flown in couple weeks because of weather. As he was filling out my log book him and a couple locals decided to go eat barbecue in Mexia. I declined the invite. I was supposed to do some chores at my moms but she called and decided to go shopping with my sister. So I caught John before he left and asked if the invite was still good and it was. He said if I would buy the fuel I could do flying and get credit for the time. So for 10 gallons of avgas I got two hours of flight time plus I got to fly and eat my first $50.00 barbecue. Did I mention it was a perfect day!
