I was determined to touch a cloud today. Been quite some time and I
need to maintain my proficiency even if I couldn't do an approach in
actual conditions at least I did poke my head inside a cloud.

Flight was a pop up IFR where I requested a block altitude as I wanted
the flexibility to select my altitude.

Still amazed that only 4500 feet separated me from a dull dreary day
to a bright sunny day. Talk about having my head in the clouds :-)))

Always amazed how may plates ATC has to spin in a given moment and
still take care of a bumbling pilot like myself!!
