Thanksgiving Day here in Wisconsin is absolutely beautiful with clear skies, 
calm winds and 54° F. I could not resist the temptation to go and do some touch 
and goes. Everything in pre flight and run up were perfect. I taxied out to 
runway 28 and fire walled her. She revved up to 3200 as I lifted off the 
pavement and then at 200' she hiccupped. I immediately checked the interstate 
in front of me for traffic as I continued to climb out. Fortunately there were 
no more problems on the circuit as I decided that I would do a t&g. I touched 
down at 70 mph, raised the speed brake, slowly applied throttle and started 
climbing out. At 300' she hiccupped. So did my heart!!! Then, I decided to 
start my crosswind and at 450' she hiccupped again as well as my heart. I 
started talking her around the pattern and she ran fine the rest of the way in 
and again brought me home safe. Now on the ground, she taxied in with no 
problems and when I performed more run ups, there was again no indication of 
problems. Something is apparently starting to crap out and I just wish I could 
find it. It would be really nice to go for a flight again without having to 
worry.

Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
