Fishing Trip
Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2003 10:18 amAfter pulling my Stearman out of it's hangar at Emma Field for a good wash -n- wax... I decided to go fishing instead.
Taxiing out, I was debating whether or not to stop and get fuel... I decided I should have plenty to make the short hop over to Cushman Lake.
During departure, I was busy watching all the activity at the club house and almost shortened the flight by colliding with a bird.
A nice soft touchdown at Cushman Field, with the courtesy car waiting to take me over to the lake.
After parking and shutting the engine down, it was time to load my fishing gear into the courtesy car and head over to the lake.
Now, time to unload my gear from the courtesy car and onto the boat... Man, I am tired already!
After a long journey home, and the nagging from my wife (she had to come get me because the airplane wouldn't start... hmmm, I guess I should have gotten fuel after all). We decided to settle in with the rest at the club house for some dinner.
