The scattered layer lifted up to 1700' for an easy radar-vectored VOR A

My weariness evaporated instantly the moment the wheels softly
kissed the paved runway. It was a challenged flight but I felt elated
in accomplishing the mission.



Yet some people say that IFR takes the fun out of flying. I don't get it.
There's more than one kind of fun.


No, it takes the fun out of flying. On our return from the same ANS
convention I was flying and the weather was fair at best. In earlier
times I would have stuck it out VFR, but I decided this was NO FUN and
landed. Ron filed and flew home. I didn't get to fly anymore that day.
HE had fun, I sat in the right seat.

Of course even with the rating the day after Memorial Day I woke up in
my bed in Herndon, VA, my car was in Culpeper and my plane was in
Richmond. Oh well, we got home, in the rental car...
