I haven't been around much recently... sort of got WIX derailed, lost my love for it for a short while, but am back to liven this place up!

How is everyone? What've I missed?

I recently found a new CFI and am flying this Friday, Saturday and Sunday!!! I need to study up for my written and I will hopefully be finished up here pretty soon. I am SO excited to get my license. It's a HUGE deal to me.

Anyway, hope everyone is doing well! Take care!

Stephanie

It's the frozen eagle syndrome... when in the midst of the grey and cold days o' winter we look at the sky and lose hope of a day nice enough to fly, we look at the credit card statements from Christmas and lose hope of a wallet fat enough to fly again...

But then we usually get a glimpse of someone living in the South and soaking up the sun and we get up the gumption to get in the air just so we can fly down there and kick their a$$ outta jealousy!

'course, the South has been getting snow and cold... so what's it all worth anymore! (cue violins).

That's awesome about this weekend though! Time for me to start thinkin' about finishing that IFR rating!

But first, gotta renew the medical... or as I like to call it "sit in a room for an hour while a sour conservative British doctor that flies a Bonanza preaches to me about how unsavory my tattoos are..."

We missed ya! Welcome back!

Ha ha, what's he know about your tattoos? They're amazing.

Luckily my medical is still current, yay for that. I just need to get everything wrapped up and start working towards my CFI and Instrument ratings. Need to fly much more frequently.

Yeah, those darn southerners (*cough* Trae *cough*) enjoying their blue bird days, while I slowly gather mildew up here! And you're absolutely right about the credit card statements, etc., but gotta keep moving forward with it.

Good luck with your IFR stuff, keep me posted! Thank you for your kindness! Glad to be back!

Yay!!!! You're back! I've missed you, where've you been?

Don't do that to me again, I go through Paul withdrawals.

Toiling away busily in my dark, dank cubicle , flying for fun on weekends...on a paid leave from the flying job and am starting to miss it though this work arrangement increases the cash flow...this Friday gotta take the T-33 in for annual, plus some other scheduled maintenance, hence the motivation for maximizing cash flow (fuel nozzle cleaning, fuselage fuel tank replacement are the biggies). This is a good time of year to knock that stuff out so it's ready for the air show season. But yah, work is very busy but it snowed a bunch so I'm gonna get out skiing soon.

Pretty good....working too much, but otherwise ridding the world of excess fossil fuel and about to dust off the skis and skates!!

Is it horrible to say that it sounds like a bunch of excuses to me?! ha ha ha, I am totally kidding. I've missed your pretty face around here. Although I haven't been on at all really in the last couple of weeks. I hope that you are doing well and good luck with all of the airplane things you have going on.

Anyhow, lotsa to one of my favorite pilots.

No Missy, it's not horrible to say...at least you came right out and said you had a WIX derailment. I didn't have WIX derailment but fewer spare moments at the office combined with mid-winter apathy and some bad weed (ok I made up the last part).

LOL! Is it any wonder I like you so well? Too funny! Yeah, well the wind was knocked outta my WIX sails for a little while. I hope to get back into it now... and I completely completely understand about mid-winter apathy... and I think that is very well put. I am glad you're around though, it's good to hear from you.
