Doing a couple of patterns this morning, before the heat was
overwhelming, I heard another plane - a C140? in the pattern calling
downwind for a 17 grass landing. This was a first, so I looked at
what was going on: to the right of the hard runway, was fresh mown grass.
And a taildragger, making a pretty landing. So I asked how it was, and
hearing the grass was smooth, decided I should renew acquaintance with
the green. And remembered for the first time in twenty years,
the rumble of wheels on grass. Sweet!

Excellent! I actually only know grass. In my 15 hrs of training thus
far, I've only landed on asphalt 3x (3 T&G's in one lesson a
couple of weeks ago). Other than that, I only know soft short field
with obstructions...I rekcon that will make other airports seem
like a breeze, though.
