It has been a busy summer here in NSMT. Since the middle of June, Echo Delta and I have been home only one weekend. With class reunions, fourth of July celebrations, weddings and family reunions, work and the deli taking up most of my free time, it has been hard to find time to blog.
On top of it all, my laptap is out of commission. That is where most of my blogging is done and where a good portion of my pictures are stored. It took a couple of hard hits one day when it slid off the wing and onto the concrete while I was closing the aircraft door and then the handle fell off the case sending it yet again to the hard surface of the ramp. Even though it was in its 'protective case', the damage had been done.
Now, when I turn it on, the screen only lasts for about 3 minutes before it goes blank. Hardly enough time to do anything productive, let alone post a blog.
The flying has been good here in New South Montucky this summer. So far it has been typical VFR days with visibility down slightly due to the haze and smoke in the atmosphere from the forest fires out west. I spend my afternoon trip dodging thunderstorms on the way back to Big Town in nearly 100*F temperatures.
For your viewing enjoyment I have put together a compilation of photos (four of them) to show you the sights I see on a typical summer day.

I took this photo on the way to the hangar just before 5am.
The morning run between Cow Town and The Dive.
Dodging high base thunderstorms and rain showers.
The wet streets and airport of Big Town backlit by the sun after the rain.
