    I got to spend a beautiful day in Oshkosh, WI. I started the morning flying a Cessna 172 for an hour (logged as pilot in command). I then stepped back in time with a ride on a Ford Trimotor. After that, I hopped into a 1929 TravelAir biplane. I spent the rest of the afternoon roaming through the AirVenture museum and then ending the evening by attending an exclusive birthday party for one of the long time EAA employees that has been the crew chief for the Trimotors for over 30 years. Overall... not a bad day. : )

    Not bad at all. I've been to airventure and the museum and its really cool. Would love a ride in a Trimotor.

    Gave my 14 year old son his first stick shift driving lesson in my 91 Mustang. I figured if he can fly a glider, he can shift some gears.

    Continuing the aviation theme... I flew a Savage yesterday and today for a total of 3.5 hrs, almost completing my tailwheel endorsement. The Savage looks like a small Super Cub and is a Light Sport Catagory aircraft. I don't remember having this much fun flying ... definitely another money intensive hobby though.

    Same one that filmed the final burnout of the #1 car? When does he get that lesson?

    Yep, same kid. He's a way off from the burnout lesson unless you want to volunteer one of your cars.

    Went to Corpus Christi for the weekend with the family. Kids played on the beach and we toured the USS Lexington. It's a WWII aircraft carier that saw service in the Pacific and has a storied history (torpedo and kamakaze hit). Had a really good volunteer that gave us a tour of the flight deck and explained what it's like to launch/land an aircraft... Pretty cool stuff.
