Solo T&Gs @ Crp

Did 2 T&G's and 1 full stop at Crp with wind 090 @ 6 on 13. A little turbulence but not much. All three were soft but probably flat because I was having some directional control 'issues' after touchdown .. probably on the nose wheel.

ATC chewed on me since I made a full stop on the Option ( although FARs defines the option to include a full stop) .. anyway the lady controller made it very clear I should have told her .. as Tim has told me numerous times.. anyway I won't do that again.

I had hoped to go to Alice to log some Cross Country time but visibility at Crp and ALI were both around 3 SM ...MVFR .. and when I looked west it looked very nasty.

Maybe I'll try this afternoon although TAF predicts strong gusty winds this afternoon and the sky is full of cum's.

I didn't fly yesterday because of nearby T's and heavy overcast. Weather's gonna have to improve for a few days for me to do my solo long cross country .. gonna be tite to be ready for the Check Ride on the 17th.

Self Acessment:

STILL landing flat .. why oh why can't I get my brain to finish the flare?

Also, .. if anything overcommunicate with ATC

Finally .. did see the guy with the Cirrus take it out ( he left right behind me to ALI) .. assume he was going there to practice .. wonder if he's IFR?
