The morning started out with a rude awakening, snow in Prince Edward Island tomorrow, 2 – 4 inches and being just 12 km from there it looks like we were about to turn another leaf.

No snow tires on the car, no snow blower or bucket on the tractor they are still stashed away from last May and now we’re facing this.

I spent the morning dealing with changing out a set of summer wheels for a set of winters. Of course the summers needed to be scrubbed and readied for next spring.

By noon there was a slight breeze from the north and the sky was turning to a vibrant blue, seems the cooler weather does that. :):)

I hadn’t had the Elio out in a while so I would fly it later on.

The Ezgo has been getting rather cranky and on many a day lately I have had to use the winch battery to get it going.

Today was another one of those days , however soon I was out to the field and set to go.

I pinned the turnaround at the north end of the field, looped the line around it, and anchored the  ring over the hook on the rear of the Ezgo..

The winch usually rests in the rear of the Ezgo, this takes care of taking out the line as  I drive south, and I don’t mean Florida

I couldn’t help but notice three deer up in the field , I’ve been told they can predict inclement weather so two of them where lying down taking in some rays.

Maybe though they were watching me

Seems my friends, the 4 bucks are not around so they had a moment too themselves.

Have since seen a fifth buck outstanding in the field. he was just a little spike horn. When you see these in their element well you gotta wonder why they are hunted

So, back to the flying at hand, I sent the Elio up the line twice and both times it was back on the ground in a couple minutes. Maybe the battery was 1/2 dead I thought.

Well it looks like it’s just one of those days , Launch and Landing practice , it never hurts I suppose..

So, I sent it up the line one more time , I gave it a huge heave on launch, stretched the line out as I went up, and added a bit of zip as I came of the ring. Sometimes you just know, and this was one of those times, it went up and up, over this tree line in the distance, that’s what I believe anyway.

I was back on the ground after 11 minutes, pretty good I thought, considering I can feel the nip in the air on my fingers..

Now for tomorrow well?
