Nippy Flight
I'm so glad the weather stayed nice enough today for me to take off from work early and go for a flight. I left work around 12:30 and was off the ground within an hour. I was quite glad to have my heated vest on, since it was bitter out. It's through Gerbing - they have everything from heated jackets to pants to gloves, etc. Despite my mechanic fixing my little heat issue with my plane, it's obviously still a bit cold in the freezing temps like today. I was kicking myself for not bringing my extra pants - my legs were freezing. Oh well.
I headed out to the southwest, toward Dunnville. I eventually made it over to Turkey Point. Then I noticed a bunch of dark specks out on the ice near Long Point. I made my way over and was quite surprised to see well over a hundred ice-fishing-shack-thingies.
There was a cute little home just off the shoreline:
I flew over to Long Point and despite the name, I was shocked over how long it was!
When I headed back, I saw where you could rent a fishing hut/shack thing:
I flew over Port Dover on the way back. I love the zoom lens on my camera:
Here are a couple shots of the factory in Nanticoke - they look like they are from totally different times of the day, but I took them just minutes apart:
As I flew south of Hamilton, I could see the snow was a'coming. There was a white wall along the Lake Ontario shoreline. Thus, I was quite happy to be heading home:
It looks like a big storm is on its way toward Niagara, so no more flights for moi for a few days. At least I had an amazing two hours today.
Today's symptoms: Much more energy that I had this weekend. My headache was gone as well.
