Some of the avgas got into my shoes and that also stung, but I figured that wouldn't be a show stopper. The next day a rash appeared on my foot. The first part of the flight was uneventful except that I couldn't pick up the Manteca VOR because FM stations were jamming the receiver. Along the way I talked to a number of controllers. One lady controller seemed to be missing check-ins by some of the pilots.
Some controllers are human, with a non zero error rate.
Further along in the flight a sigmet was issued for thunderstorms and hail in the Cascades. Ahead of me islands of towering cumulus appeared to the right, so I deviated left towards the coast. Near Chico a pilot reported extreme turbulence. I was flying at 14500 feet, enjoying a smooth ride. It's Better on Top.
