Jerome Airport (JER)

We were in a hurry to meet my friends in Twin Falls so we were going to skip Jerome but ended up flying right next to the runway and thought we had to touch down, even if it were just briefly. There was other traffic (crop-dusters) in the area and they gave us a wind update and runway they were using so it felt safe flying straight in. Again, smooth landing! Missed the carb heat but caught it before Niki!

Taxed past the little office/shop on the runway and saw a really cool bright orange crop-duster. This looks like a really nice place to spend some time, they seem to have some shade behind the office and just has overall a good vibe.

Question: When I don’t fly my ‘pattern’ I miss things such as crab heat, not a big deal today with a Cessna 172 on a 90 degree day but if it were the landing gear on a Cessna 177 someone might be a bit upset! Any tips on how to keep with checklist when things get mixed up or busy?
