What a beautiful night for flying!

Went to Livingston (00R) at dusk via VOR alone (i.e. no GPS), then to CXO, then back to Easterwood.

2.1 hours cross country under a full moon and clear skies...VFR flight following the whole way. It doesn't get any better.

Oh, yeah. It could have been a little better; I had a go-around at Livingston when my final approach was too high and short. I called it early, though, and fixed things up the next time around.

I needed that fix...too much work lately and not enough time for reflection. I needed to work away the rust as well...John R had lots of, um, suggestions along the way of stuff I'd forgotten or slipped up on. He should know: he just completed a six-hour x-c trip to GTU and then Corpus.
