The availability of the parachute that brings you AND the plane down is NEW compared to the life of aviation and ......even though we don't use it ( except for John Hauck of course) it is always there just like a pair of pliers that you need ....sparingly or maybe sometimes, or even.....never (hopefully) but it represents a second chance for those of us who, after we find ourselves committed to 5000ft, look at ourselves and wonder ...."why am I doing this??!!" Well, I know why I do it, because I am a mishapen bird by nature, but some of you are normal.

Well Bryan, I did lead you astray a bit saying it was all in the logbook. Most of it is in there only because it was unusual, so I wrote it down. Some of the other stuff, like field altitudes, I looked up on the sectional because I am bored out of my mind with this darn sinus cold. When the clouds are touching the tree tops and I'm feeling too crappy to do anything, it is nice to get the logbook out and remember. There are many entries in my log that only list the date and flight time. Most however are like the folowing: 4/4/04 206.5 1.0 Delivered Mardell's camera. 2 lgs smooth winds -20 - 25 kts. I try to write down the things that are unique to each flight (if there are any). When I look back at them I can often recall a lot more about the flight and the day from reading the things that stood out in my mind when I landed. My logbook lives in the back of my trailer. I fold for every flight and just make a habit of writing a line or two in the log before closing the door on my baby and going home. Takes a few seconds and, just like flying, I do it because I enjoy it. Hope you had a great Christmas, and have a happy New Year. Roger in Oregon
