My wife snapped this photo as I was moving the 150 out of my hangar to make room for the 172. I feel like I'm trading in a sports car for a mini-van.

Today I unloaded about thirty pounds of "stuff" out of the plane. I even found candy bars and beef jerky in the extended baggage area. Lots of neat survival stuff, funny thing is... the guy rarely flew more than 50 miles from home. Oh well, I suppose it's good to be prepared.
