Bravo is canceled for the weekend our destination is expecting a big ice storm so we are trying it again on Presidents Day weekend. I am not being picky.......its free.

Thanks. It’s our #1 choice for burning off just about any bad emotion(s). Second is the PT-17, but that one takes more work and brain power. A Cub is an “...in your sleep...” kind of aircraft. D has a Cessna 150 Aerobat (I don’t claim it, and she brought it with her into the nuptials. So...) that can be rather fun and relaxing as well. More fun with two in it though. We play “Aero Challenge” in it. We see who can glide the farthest inverted after the engine floods and quits. Also - What we call the “Doors open Dive Bomber!!”
. If it didn’t have the Simplicity and Fun Factor, it would be worthless.
Don’t wait ’till you’re too old to start flying and kick yourself for not doing it. I fly lots of folks around, letting them take control, just because they said it was something they wanted to do before they died. Most of those claim they wanted to learn how for years (some, decades). Most of the helicopter “one-time riders” just want to see what it’s like. Or “...if it’s as hard as people claim it is.” (yep it is, btw) Those folks I understand. The fixed wingers, I feel sorry for. Just do it.
Glad to hear what canceled your ride this weekend. We’ll call it “Smart Pilot Syndrome”. Free or not. Don’t take risks (when you don’t have to). I still want some pics posted.
