This is the same Cessna 195 several days before, after landing, taxiing to park.

Ariel
Last Tuesday I thought I'd do a cross country flight today and spent some time working out a flight plan. The morning was cold and so I decided to take my written test instead. When I called the testing guys at the Austin airport their equipment was down. The guys at New Braunfels wouldn't answer the phone so I decided to go to Georgetown. Why drive when I can fly, right?
As it turns out Georgetown was the first stop on my planned cross country (because they have cheap avgas) anyway. I taxied to the testing place, took off my sunglasses and they fell apart. The guys there loaned me a paper clip to put them back together.
Taking the test I got an 83. Not what I'd hoped for but it's a solid B. I'll take it.
To qualify for a cross country flight the two airports have to be 50 miles apart. Georgetown is 49.9 miles from Lockhart so I flew from there to Burnett. Flying at 3000 feet I passed a tower that was as high as me. That was kind of spooky. By the time I got to Burnett there wasn't time for a meal so I had my second candy bar of the day and headed home. I'd planned to take the scenic route but time wasn't permitting so I took the shortest route and landed just before sunset.
Here's a pic of Ariel (yes, she has a name now) illuminated by the sun's last rays.

I'm going to post a few more pics here just to share them. When I see something I like I take a photo. Hopefully others will enjoy some of them.
These guys just dropped in to our little local airport.

I don't know why but often my first photo turns out to be the one that I like the best.
