About five landings ago, I had a rough one. Combination of poor technique and a sturdy crosswind. Fortunately nothing too serious other than a couple of bounces, some comments from the onlookers afterwards, and a deflated ego. Stayed with me though mentally.

But my last three landings this week were all in good crosswinds and I nailed ‘em. Sometimes flying is its own reward. Gotta enjoy those moments!
