Narrative:

Off runway excursion, departed to east of runway 15 while takeoff. Lost directional control. Anticipated east crosswind. Never happened. No damage to aircraft or airport. Returned to taxiway, checked aircraft, resumed flight. I did report to airport manager. Overanticipation, should have flown the conditions. Feel real dumb.
