    The boy flew to Marshalltown (KMIW) to give my dad a ride today, his first pax. Dad lives in a retirement home there and will turn 95 in December of this year. Clear for the most part but cool. Dad quit flying his 182 at 91. His head doesn’t work quite right anymore, but still enjoyed this...

    PP check complete for the boy today. DE’s are booked 1-3 months out 😬. Now we move on. I’m pretty sure today was harder on dad than the kid.

    Had a row of old T hangars demoed at my dad’s which finally allowed access to drop these 3 dead standing White Pines. I’d estimate them at 50-60’ tall. All 3 down and cleaned up before lunch. Had good help.

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    Pronounced “Dahlut”. 😊 A hundred years ago when I was young, we would ride the North Shore Trail up to Grand Marias (spelling?) and back over a weekend just prior to the I500. Love that area. Guy I rode with retired up there NW of GM on the Gunflint pretty close to the end of the road by Sag.

    Went to MXO today and washed the 140. Ag planes are super busy right now putting fungicide on corn. Counted 8 working out of there. Told the wife to climb up on an idling 802 so she could see how I used to spend my summers when I was young. Boy took his PP written this morning. Scored a 97...

    We were there Wednesday, and commented to my son that I was shocked that the helo/gyro area didn’t have a wreck or two. Looked like a bee hive.
