some landing practice

i left work a little early last friday (and hence am in the office now making up the time) to go out and do a few landings. the winds were 190@06G16 (from the direction 190 at 6 knots gusting to 16 knots). the active runway was 17 at KJYO so the crosswind component was not bad and i specifically wanted some work with a little wind. i did 5 landings/taxi backs (should have done T&Gs to save some time). the gusts were not bad (after i experienced the first one that is). lately, my landings have been more appropriate for aircraft carriers than for runways so i'm working on some improvements. as usual, i'm going to dedicate more time to technique improvements than i have been. other than that no flying this weekend.
