Interesting coincidence - I typed "KFIT" into flightaware.com to see
where it was, and saw you were on your return trip as I was reading
the post.

You are 8 minutes from KFIT as I type this!

Amazing Internet.
yup and I am back. Got some actual IFR today on the climb out from BHB.
Not sure when I went into the clouds (1100?) as I was fixated on my
panel scan, but I remember poking out at around 3000' on top of an
amazing floor of white. Jeez I love sight. The first hour of the flight
was great. Scattered below, smooth air. Once I hit the coast again at
Portland, ME. the fun started. That part of the flight back was a real
grinder. I had 30kt headwinds so it took longer than usual and the last
hour or so was blessed with some of the best convective turbulence I've
ever had the pleasure of getting my organs rearranged by. Solo,
completely solo, in that stuff is no fun at all. Greeted by a 15-20 kt
80 deg crosswind at Fitchburg. Set it down and gladly tied her up. I'm
beat.

Red Sox, Beers and BBQ tonight on the porch. :-)
