N291DR 1.8 Flight to the coast with Melissa

Flew to the coast with Melissa and back to KRHV. 4 landings.

Departed KRHV "left downwind IBM departure", flew over Calero Reservoir, then landed in CA66 after a low pass. Landing was okay but a high flare, ended up bouncing but the grass absorbed enough energy and we did ok.

Departed CA66 with soft field technique. Flew to 1C9. Did 2 landings. The first was a short approach that came up short; added some power. Passable landing. The next was a good short approach with a smooth landing.

Returned to KRHV, straight in landing on 31R. As usual (!) I mis-judged my energy and came up short on the glide, and needed to use some power. Landing was okay.
