Getting ready for a morning flight:

Other folks were in the air first:

It was a beautiful morning for a flight:

The birds were out too:

M was driving around on his motorcycle:

Coming in for a landing:

M kited my wing:

During the day we did homeschool.  M worked on building a detector for spilled water.  We found that with salty water, the wires could be much farther apart and still complete the circuit through the water, so salty water is a better conductor than fresh water.  When we ran the water through our Brita pitcher, the circuit didn’t work at all, so we proved electronically that our water filter works:

B was having a good time in Chumash class:

More Tu B’Shvat mosaics:

Salton City is a town that just won’t give up.  They maintain puddles of grass in the desert and call in a golf course.  They even get mowed from time to time:

Before taking off, I kite the wing to make sure no lines are tangled:

Now I have to look for other pilots before taking off:

Here we go:

Flying low:

Moonrise was wonderful:
