Woke up this morning to clear skies and 31 degrees with a front moving in rapidly. I knew I had to fly. I managed to get to the airport about 8:30 and prepped my "Deer Slayer" KR for flight. She fired up around 9:15 and the winds were at 7 mph and gusting to 19 mph as the front was approaching. As I fueled up the edge of the front crossed the airport and it went from clear skies to 5000 overcast. Once done with the fueling I called taxing to runway 30 and headed out. After I did my run up I checked the winds once more and they were now 9 gusting 21 from 260. Away I went for a very smooth climb out and with the head winds a very short take off roll at that. I flew around the local area for about 45 minutes as the skies continued to deteriorate so I finally decided to head back in. Checked the winds and they were back to 7 gusting 17 from 270. Called in the approach and greased her right in for a smooth landing on 30. Can't wait till the next opportunity presented itself to sneak in another flight in my KR.
