Yeah I suppose I can do your end of course.  I'm at home sick today  ...stupid allergies and sinuses. By the way, where's part 2?

If you are taking pictures, who is flying the plane?

hahaha the reason why it shows me off course is bcuz I was paying closer attention to finding out my new wind correction angle from the new wind info I got from Flight Watch, and I was only about a mile or maybe a 1/2 of a mile to the right, but yeah good idea haha  ;D . But nah I dont care Denton! BTW ya wanna give me my EOC later?

I was just busting chops- 1/2 mile off course is pretty good.

If you don't have a GPS, that is...
 :D

The irony here is that you veered off the line while trying to figure your best heading for wind, when all you really need to do with GPS is fly the course heading, note your drift, and bracket until you get it right... much like following a VOR radial.
And don't forget- wind info from FW or any other source is never as accurate or important as noting what the wind is doing where you are at that moment.
Never a bad idea to practice that, though.
