We were on our way home from Cincinnati after visiting my folks
Christmas Eve. I had figured on nuking up some left over Bambi Italiano for
lunch and opening presents in the living room--but Nancy wanted to make a
detour out to the barn where she boards her horse.
Normally I avoid the horse barn like the plague. Actually it's
allergies. However, I figured on Christmas Day no one else would be out
there, and I had plans for the riding arena. Rew and I wanted to fly the
little Lite Stick that Paul Wiese had sold us.
So Nancy shoveled up after the horse, and Rew and I tried flying
electric in a horse arena. We took down the jumps. No sense tempting fate.
Contrary to rumors, the Lite Stick had enough rudder control to fly circles
and figure eights in the arena. I think the owners of the horse barn may
think I am a little nuts. But how many times do you get to fly your
airplane door to door on Christmas?
Wassailplane! Wassailplane! Please good lady can a charge my
nicads? Could you spare a little scotch tape for a Christmas flier?
Wassail plane!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good landing.
