I would like to tell you that as of this Saturday Morning I did an acceptably Short field landing after failing my checkride yesterday because of a ugly one with winds 17 gusting at 26. (Should have gone around, advice to others!!) My CFI was nice enough to come assist me earlier today in doing 3 good Short field landings and signing me off to go up again with the DPE... So after over 3 years of on again off again training I how am the holder of a brand new Temporary Airman Certificate Sports Pilot .. O,,,, my 19 year old son got his as well... No big deal for him!!!
Now the real learning begins...

Yes congradulations and good luck, may all you days be CAVU.
I am surprised you decided to go ahead with a check ride with those winds. How much was the crosswind component? Depending on what you were flying you have been reaching the published demonstrated numbers in the POH.

The 6 ply Dressers are holding up well... I have the new 8 ply's ready in standby... May be a while till I need to change them. I think my numbers of landings may decrease a little now that Evan and I are no longer training every week!!

Maybe see you at Copperstate??
