That's my CFI for the trip, right before I got my first IMC. I told him I was nervous and he said "If I was nervous would I be eating this cinnabun?"

No troubles getting out of a 2600' grass strip with 3 people and gear.
We were lucky we had enough cell signal so we couldp ick up IFR clearance on the ground

They made me an honorary "Yooper" for wearing shorts, flip-flops, and a fishing shirt when it was 55 degrees outside and everyone else was wearing coats

X-Country IFR, actual IMC, grass strip, sounds great. Just started on my multi IFR last Friday! Fun stuff.

We filed 12,000 back to New Braunfels just so we could hear "Skyhawk 1161F clear Direct New Braunfels climb and maintain 1-2-Thousand as filed"
