- So ActiveSky gave me bad weather into my original destination at EETN (from back in March).  So I diverted to EEKE and it wasn't any better so I had to paste the actual weather into ActiveSky manually.  I left the flight plan map as the original route. Will need to watch ActiveSky since my update to SP5 today.
- In RW, I'm on vacation.  and it is rainy out.  And I bought an LED light bar for the truck.  And I babysit Lexy tonight at our place!
