Turns, Turns and more Turns

Turns around a square, turns around a point, half turns here and half turn there, today I went flying and did turns.
It almost didn’t happen, it was about 45 degrees this morning when I went to preflight, first thing that happened was when I turned on the master, the flaps wouldn’t go down. Dad said don’t worry about it we’re not going to use them today anyway, all lights worked fine and so did everything else… almost. Preflight done, CLEAR, nothing. The starter would not even engage, almost brand new starter too. Back in the hanger it goes and we go back to the FBO and do some ground school work.
A couple hours later, the sun is up and its warming up, dad decided to go try the starter again, it cranked right over, still tied down in the hanger :|
So out it came and off we went. About 4 times around a pattern square, about 4 times around a point and about 4 S-Turns on a road later we head back. Dad’s satisfied I have a grasp of the concepts and can hold altitude within 50 feet on the maneuvers so we head back. I found my way back to the airport without help, shot 3 landings, not real pretty, but we can still use the airplane so they were ok.
Good things, maneuvers went well, my flares are about right, Need to Improve approaches, speed/accuracy on checklists (I’m a bit slow and forgot to dip the tanks). As a boost he said he was confident I could find my way home and get it on the ground in one piece if he passed out and I had to do it myself.  Winds were calm to 5 knots, a little bumpy in spots but not bad. The Cessna 150 logged 1.0 hours and 3 landings.
Next time, more slow flight and stalls, oh and something called Dutch Rolls, gonna have to google that one.
