I just want to thank everyone on this board who has
been supportive. I flew with my CFII again yesterday
for the first time since the X/C. (It's been almost
two full weeks -- a long time in IFR training, but
there were the usual scheduling conflicts.)

Anyway, aside from a little sloppiness on climbout,
things went well, and I felt like a pilot again. We
flew to KAPC, KCCR, KOAK, and flew a variety of
approaches, with nary a corrective word from my
instructor, or ATC for that matter.

The two low pointa were being told by Travis approach
that they won't allow practice approaches at Concord
anymore. Also, the Oakland people cancelled an ndb 27r
approach about 30 seconds after giving me my final
vector because I was off course. Okay, I had a sloppy
start but I was pretty far out and was just getting
established.
