KXBP Bridgeport 3/29/2009

With nothing but crappy weather for the last several days, what a shock when I got up and saw a METAR that read: KTKI 291253Z 00000KT 10SM CLR M01/M02 A3000 RMK AO2 SLP171 T10061022. My friend Darren wanted to go flying on such a beautiful day, so we headed out to Bridgeport for some cheap fuel ($2.69/gal) and a trip to Yesterday's for a $100 hamburger. Once we got to Bridgeport, we called the police department to get the code to get the crew car. It was a beauty (not). You have to call the police department and give them your name, DL number, cell phone number and tail number. When you do that, you get to take this beauty out for a spin.



I got a surprise when we got in the car.


When we took off, we used our iPhones to try and locate Yesterday's. Unfortunately, Google hasn't updated their database to reflect the new one in Bridgeport so we went to the one in Decatur.



It's a 50s & 60s style diner that has a decent burger but they are big. The normal is a half pounder, and the next 2 are 1 lb and 2 lbs. Way too much for a guy on a diet (actually the regular one is too much for someone on a diet).
