Black Berry Milk Shake

Gone are the days of the $100 hamburger, so from this day forward I'm using the phrase "$100 milkshake". The last three or four flights that I've made involving a food stop of some sort have included the consumption of a milkshake. The most recent being the black berry shake at the Spruce Goose Cafe at 0S9.

Today we boarded the family airplane and headed up to the Jefferson County Airport for some lunch (and a milkshake). The place was crowded as usual but it was warm enough to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. While sitting there eating, I watched a blue and yellow Beaver taxi up and spin around into the parking spot next to our 182. The only problem was that the parking spots aren't big enough for a Beaver. But as it turned out the Beaver's wings are higher than the 182 so no problem, the wings just overlapped above the 182's. I've parked the 182 with some overlap on low winged airplanes before, but this was the first time that a bigger airplane over shadowed the 182!

Poker Run

Last weekend one of the local flying clubs hosted a hop/skip/jump and poker run. The objective was to get some short field experience and visit a few airports that aren't in the typical Puget Sound $100 hamburger rotation. After each landing every pilot got a playing card and at the end of the day the pilot with the best poker hand won a one hour rental in a C172. The route for the day was as follows: KBFI, 2S1, Port Orchard (private), 8W5, W10, Diamond Point, (private), 0S9, KOKH, 13W, W16, KBFI.
