Finally!

Red letter day. After yet another cycle(or 3) of accumulated/obliterated pairs of H4 spots, I finally hit 3 in a row and get the rating. Good timing, as the joys of knitting and putt-putt golf were beginning to exert their powerful allure.
Thanks to all who observed, drove, coached, and refrained from laughing their asses off (at least in my presence) during all the fun.

Ok, ok it was all worth it. Flew Mission Peak for the first time, with Karl, Carm, Roy, and Doug Hahn—easy ride to cloudbase, flew nearly 2 hrs, top landed a couple of times—hey this local mountain soaring stuff is easy! Somebody should tell the guys…. Just remember to duck when the big planes come by.
