Wednesday, October 24, 2007-Find Girl, Make Out

For anyone other than Tim who reads this, today's title makes no sense. I'm sorry Tim, I failed.


So, i decided to spend money instead of earn it. The decision was made mostly due to the fact that I ended up not having any work on the weekend. I am quite happy about that, however, because the trip to vancouver was awesome. The Lions won, but just as important as that, the GF crew was so intimidating that the Coast boys conceded, and we won the Director's cup yet again. It was a reunion of sorts, seeing all the guys that I grew up with in battalion. I couldn't ask for a better group of friends.

School this week has been fairly eventful. I wrote my test to get my student pilot permit on monday, and got 100%. that was a huge relief, but it only gets harder from here on out. I flew on tuesday and couldn't do anything right, it was horrible, I felt like I was never going to be able to take off or land. On wednesday I figured out what I was mainly doing wrong, and my last 3 flights have been much better. Today was an experience in the air. About 5 minutes after taking off, a fairly strong storm came through from the north, and I was caught right in the middle of it. I thought keeping a helicopter stable in calm conditions was hard, but a 25 Knot wind brings a whole new element of fun to flying. I was told I did really well for the conditions, considering I've only flown for 11 hours, but it sure didn't feel that great to me. I managed not to crash, however, which is about all I could ask for at that point.

Now that I have distracted myself from studying for another half hour, I'm gonna wrap this thing up, and leave you with these words, from the late JC (Johnny Cash)

"Then the father hen will call his chickens home
The wise man will bow down before the throne and at his feet
They will cast the golden crowns
When the man comes around"
