I decided to practice landings this morning. There was nobody else in the pattern which I like. As mentioned before, still knocking the rust off my landings. When I got back, Bloke was there. In the ongoing tale of the Cherokee, they were headed up to Conroe to take the engine off for overhaul. They had engine problems last Saturday when returning from Lancaster and have been working on it since then. All the indicators point to internal engine problems.
