Ahh, So I have not Blogged in quite some time. While I would love to say that I have been Uber-busy at some posh new job flying, Truth is very little exciting as happened in the last several months. Same job, same craziness at home, and life continues to float on by..
The most exciting news I have is that on October 24th, I will officially be a homeowner(YIPE!!!)! After much talks and discussion, we decided that now was the proper time to purchase the house from Bethie's dad, and got a decent mortgage rate locked in right before the major crash in the loan markets. We still have a lot of work to do in the house, as I am still working on the same damn bathroom I was remodeling this time last year!. At least there is drywall/some mud up now. It's just a matter of finding time to finish it.
I have to say that there hasn't been too much of interest at work, other than seeing Celine Dion, who is quite a generous tipper. Her bodyguard gave both pepke and I each $100!!!. Her pilots of her Global Express told us that she was running late getting here because she was sitting in her auto talking to a 16-year old girl who was taking her dying breaths from Leukemia. While I am not a fan of her music, it was nice to see someone like that take the time to make a complete stranger feel so happy at the end of their life.
On the job front, I may have a prospect for at least a part-time flying gig, but I am waiting for an aircraft(probably a Beech Baron) to be rebuilt from the ground up before I will hear anything. I had a little run-in with a new medical examiner when I went to get my aviation physical renewed, which really sucked. He was freaked out by the large surgical scar on my back(which I can now say is 11" long!), and refused to issue my medical certificate until I came up with some Unobtainium- The operative report from the surgery I had as a newborn 26 years ago!!!. After two weeks and a call to the FAA, the Doctor has finally decided to issue it to me; Now I just gotta drive out to Parma to go get it.
So, that's it - Finito! a (very) short summary of the last several months. If ya want any more info, gimme a call or drop me an e-mail.
