Touch and go's, right on the center line. Nice looking job.
I don't know about you but took me a while to get this. We used to call the landing pattern third, second and first base. Seems like it took me forever before I could make that final turn to first base and line up on the runway correctly. I'd end up at least a wings length off the center line. Then one day it just clicked and I hit the white line with the nose gear. It was like a light bulb went off "so that's how it's done."
Best of luck to you, again I'm jealous.
