Back to the Cherokee?

It has been a few years....23 to be exact, since I flew a Cherokee, but tomorrow it is back to the Cherokee! I have been struggling (my wife would say struggling is a comical understatement) to finish my license lately and having trouble seeing over the instrument panel on the 172 while reaching rudder pedals...my friend Lynn (who happens to own a Cherokee) suggested I find a "short student pilot friendly Cherokee"...so that is exactly what I am doing. My "new instructor" made a bold decision...which has me hooked..."lets just go ahead and go crazy and get this done in 2 weeks...I have a new job starting and need to move on the 16th...so if you really have 46 hours and have really passed the written as you say...let's just get it done!" I was sold on this idea, no time to think...just do! So the final push up my Everest begins.........NOW!!!!!!!!!!!
In other news, one of my fellow climbers and Everest team member, "Marathon Kim", through a stroke of good luck and energy is running the NYC marathon on Nov. 6th!!! So with any luck we will both soon be on top of our Everests!!
