A zef requested of Jake flying story. He's got a million of 'em: He wrote this tonight about a memorable flight back in March:

In response to query will describe subject flight made Monday 22 March. In this 80 mile out and 80 mile back in J 57033 am sure there are some actions/lack of actions open to improvement/question but there are a couple of points that may be of interest/use.
Arrived at COS from Ft Smith Ark abt noon and dropped Kat at FBO. It was a beautiful day and went and filled up the 28 gallons burned before departing-in retrospect would have gone lighter. Did unload the luggage and my work tools and books into rental car which lightened the load.
COS is 6K and LXV 10K so put on oxygen canellas before departure. Had picked up new sectional at FBO and noted the highest block altitude was 14.8 so departed VFR & checked out of C doing several 360s to pick up alt. Headed west, past Pikes Peak to south, at alt of 12+ and climbing. In looking over the beautiful high snow colored terrain and the sectional elected to head to the airport of Central Col Regional (AEJ- elev 8K) some 40 miles south of LXV and fly the Arkansas River valley to LXV. Had climbed to 15K by then which was more than necessary but great view and with no local knowledge of mt waves and winds preferred positive margin.
Arrived over LXV and ASOS had wind from north at 6 kts (down fm the 12 gusting 21 per briefer)-temp low 40s. Spiraled down-the a/p is in a medium size valley and not on a cliff. Its 6K long of hard surface in great shape and there are some drop offs at either end. On downwind did a leaning to peak egt on #2 the critical cyl-and then marked how far the leaning knob was out on my AOPA ruler.
Landing uneventful to north-65 kts on final and smooth touchdown at lines-gave self an OK.
There was a girl managing the desk-she printed out a certificate for Free and I bought a mug. Believe there may have been a 5 or 6 buck landing fee but maybe not-was enjoying the great scenery and getting pic with sign and plane and mtns and $$$ were below threshold.
For take off to North wind was up to 10-12 kts from North (runway slopes gently down to south-in no wind would had gone south) used the leaning mark (felt like the red knob was in my lap-out over 2") and kept the plane on the runway for longer than usual-probably 4-5K of the 6K available (speed greater than usual-maybe mid 70s)-had to as the MAP was around 20". Initial climb out was slow-very slow-once at 100' raised gear, kept flaps down-when raised nose a bit as with normal t/o felt slight shudder/sloppiness of response-dropped nose-and climbed out at abt 2-300 fpm. Held flaps till some 500' and accelerating.
Trip back to COS was reverse of trip out save did not go quite as high-still plenty of altitude to dump at springs-tower had me go past runway and do a descending 270.
Enjoyable evolution, beautiful clear day with snow covering the mountains and valleys-and magnificent scenery-not a high stress flight. Would not want to do it without oxygen. My 700 JPI had previously had a hiccup but managed to clear-sticky button. If could not have cleared the hiccup would have aborted-wanted all the power available especially for takeoff/Cheers/Jake back in Va and still savoring the experience-a very worthwhile & memorable highlight-very vivid in my mind.
