Foggy N Kalifornia has been CAVU (my area) for the last month which sucks for my FiCC (Flying in Crappy Conditions) course that I offer for neophyte instrument pilots---I got a surprising response to the offering---you'd be surprised at the number of instrument pilots who have never really gone out in minimums or been out there when there's a possibility of icing.  It's fun time instructing  ::wave::

I like to stay inside at -20F.  I know the airplane would probably be ok, but if we have a problem, it's a long walk to anywhere at -20.

Jim, that sounds like an interesting course.  How much?

OOPS, sorry but I misssed your reply and question------2 hours on the ground anytime then 3 plus hours in the air (gotta wait for sometimes for NASTY weather over the Sierras) @ 55 bucks an hour (plus the airplane, of course)  Mountain flying in IMC combined.

Zoe's still doing well, and here's a pic I took of her this past weekend.

Cheers, S'Mom**

I love the pics that are taken about 2 seconds before they start crying.

Airtac is right: she's growing fast and lovelier everyday (or every picture!)! (Remember that when she will be 16 and as cute as a lovely as a pain in the ....).
For her age it seems to me she also looks incredibly conscious of the world around her (but it could also be normal, and my experience with toddlers tooooo many hours below Flight time, that isn't a lot either! :) )!!!!
 
I give that landing a 9 . . . on the Richter scale.

She'll probably have some flight hours behind her long before she can think of getting a car... ;)

I took her to the doc for a checkup today. Besides a bit of diaper rash, she passed with flying colors. Her eyes are developing quite well, and she's up to 7.5 lbs (or 7lbs 8oz).
Yay!
We have to start looking for a bicycle trailer for her, so we can take her on the Big Dam Bridge ride... though we'll have to check with the doc on that. She should be fine by then, though, as it's in Sept (IIRC).

Sweet.  That'll be fun to drag her along on stuff like that. 

I did The Ride Across Minnesota for 5 years, and there were always trailers full of kids every year.  I'd like to do that with my kids some day.

Been too long since the last Zoe update!   :o

She makes the best of everything. The bath tub becomes a hot tub!

She loves to crawl, is pulling herself up to stand on her own, and loves playing in her walker.
