on 1 Jan I flew with another RV-6A from 00V (Colorado) to the Tulsa OK
area and back. Six hours of cross-country, a sore derrier and
beautiful flying all the way.

Sounds great. I'm itching to fly somewhere for more than a few hours,
but work, my kids, and the weather keep conspiring against me.

It's hard to plan a VFR x-country flight in winter -- even THIS winter
-- because you just *know* that bad weather is out there, somewhere.
And when it goes bad in January, it can be weeks on end.

We've just strung together four really nice days here, but that is an
incredible fluke. I think most pilots are thinking the same as me --
our last fly-in guest at the hotel was for New Year's Eve, and they
were in a Cheyenne. (They came all the way from Colorado to party in
Iowa City!)

*sigh* I sure wish the days would get longer faster...
