Narrative:
My final approach was a little steep and too fast. The subsequent landing resulted in repetitive bouncing. I decided to abandon the landing about halfway down the runway. After applying full take-off power; I drifted off the left of the paved part of the runway about 5 feet onto the grass apron and completed the take-off well before the departure end of the runway. I am not aware of any damage occurring to my aircraft or to the field.
