Tonight we feel a bit like tired old birds resting from some sort of migration. Slightly sleep deprived from all the fun we’ve been having with family and friends visiting from out of town, we also helped refresh a slightly tired old bird and then went to an aviation meeting tonight. In case you missed the reference, the slightly tired bird of course was Tripp as we pitched in a few hours on the annual inspection. Anne waxed and cleaned here and there, while I took things apart and put them back together under the watchful eye of several expert aviation mechanics. We’re resting up tonight to hopefully put in a longer day tomorrow doing more of the same. Today I was able to diagnose and fix a minor problem, and might have saved a few dollars – unless they end up charging us more for being in the way 🙂 – while also learning a lot more about how Tripp works. She’s such a simple and solid airplane, and seeing her opened up gave us even more respect for how solidly-built she is. We sure are tired though, having crawled inside small spaces and held ourselves in awkward stances doing this and that. Bet we’ll sleep well, and I wonder what our dreams will be like…
