Taxi out for departure. Airport is marginal IFR, but I wanted to get a quick start. I will pick up my clearence enroute.

Cleared for take off. Staying out of the clouds until I get that clearence.
Received my clearence and it is a good thing... Look at those clouds and look at that WX500. Glad I got the upgrade in avionics.

Getting vectored towards Kestrel.
Decending for final approach.
