Narrative:
Events occurring in 3's! With no reports of difficulty at sun, identification, I was departing runway 13. With patchy ice around I did not hold brakes, and was adding power gradually when aircraft suddenly broke loose and veered to the left sharply. Recovery took full reverse and full right rudder. Then takeoff was continued. I reported situation to tower and asked that the ice be at least sanded. The adrenaline was still pumping from this incident when we received our IFR clearance to sna. In the excitement we understood our clearance to be 'as usual' over twf which was programmed in FMS. We had been delayed and leveled at 13000 ft, headed to twf when we were given 'cleared as filed' with no initial fix specified. The controller noticed we were east of course, at which time we clarified the routing. A definite factor was the excitement over the skidding on takeoff and the need to explain the situation to the passenger, and calm them down. The third incident in the same flight was between pmd and poc on descent VFR to sna. At 15000 ft we came within 100 yards of a large bunch of party balloons (about 20) attached together with ribbons, which was a very startling sight and about 10000 ft higher than my previous highest sighting of balloons.

Title: HIT ICY AREA ON TKOF, ABLE TO CONTINUE. DEVIATED FROM CLRNC ROUTING ASSUMING CLRED DIRECT TWF.
Narrative: EVENTS OCCURRING IN 3'S! WITH NO RPTS OF DIFFICULTY AT SUN, ID, I WAS DEPARTING RWY 13. WITH PATCHY ICE AROUND I DID NOT HOLD BRAKES, AND WAS ADDING PWR GRADUALLY WHEN ACFT SUDDENLY BROKE LOOSE AND VEERED TO THE L SHARPLY. RECOVERY TOOK FULL REVERSE AND FULL R RUDDER. THEN TKOF WAS CONTINUED. I RPTED SIT TO TWR AND ASKED THAT THE ICE BE AT LEAST SANDED. THE ADRENALINE WAS STILL PUMPING FROM THIS INCIDENT WHEN WE RECEIVED OUR IFR CLRNC TO SNA. IN THE EXCITEMENT WE UNDERSTOOD OUR CLRNC TO BE 'AS USUAL' OVER TWF WHICH WAS PROGRAMMED IN FMS. WE HAD BEEN DELAYED AND LEVELED AT 13000 FT, HEADED TO TWF WHEN WE WERE GIVEN 'CLRED AS FILED' WITH NO INITIAL FIX SPECIFIED. THE CTLR NOTICED WE WERE E OF COURSE, AT WHICH TIME WE CLARIFIED THE ROUTING. A DEFINITE FACTOR WAS THE EXCITEMENT OVER THE SKIDDING ON TKOF AND THE NEED TO EXPLAIN THE SIT TO THE PAX, AND CALM THEM DOWN. THE THIRD INCIDENT IN THE SAME FLT WAS BTWN PMD AND POC ON DSCNT VFR TO SNA. AT 15000 FT WE CAME WITHIN 100 YARDS OF A LARGE BUNCH OF PARTY BALLOONS (ABOUT 20) ATTACHED TOGETHER WITH RIBBONS, WHICH WAS A VERY STARTLING SIGHT AND ABOUT 10000 FT HIGHER THAN MY PREVIOUS HIGHEST SIGHTING OF BALLOONS.
