Went up to do some practice work today. If you read enough of the rags and talk to enough pilots, you will hear a lot of talk about personal limits. Today I met one of mine. Wind and turbulance. As soon as I left the ground I was getting kicked around. It didn't get any better out in the practice area so I did what was prudent. I came back to the airport. Simple enough. Unnecessary risks are not a part of my flying M.O.
On another note, I did pass my FAA written test today. It wasn't that hard - 68 multiple choice questions. Basic stuff.
Flight time: 0.5
Total time: 65.5
Good for two more years - my first BFR
