Hi, it's me again...

So I discovered www.liveatc.net and now my itunes streams KOAK radio traffic. That's cool. So upheaval continues in my life, but some awesome positives have as well. The main one being that my fiance is now out here and we're living together (so no more cross country flights to steal a week's romance at a time). Obviously, there's some adjusting there, but I wouldn't have her any place else except with me.

Also, I'll hopefully start doing some part time work at the aero club for plane time credits. I should find out more on Friday.

Things on the financial front are still a mess as the fallout from the divorce and bad decisions finally settle to the ground, but there's a plan and I'm flying the plan.

I have to say that I'm sad to see C. Freeze's response that 2TA is gone from the club. It's kind of like your first lover. The flip side is we have a 182 at the club now, and while the cost per hour is substantially higher, given my size (6'10" 300 pounds), I'm going to see about training in that plane. Barring that, we do have a couple new 172 SPs in the club that are almost the same as 2TA, one of them even ends in 2TA, though she's N382TA.

I guess it would be almost like dating your first lover's sibling...or something.

Way overdue update

Hello, and for anyone still following this, I'm still alive! My flight training is on indefinite hold while I sort out the various financial issues the economic downturn has tossed my way. I also had a bit of a medical problem with my left eye but that has completely resolved so I renewed my medical without issue.

I'm hoping in about 2 years time I can work on this full time, meanwhile I'm still doing ground school study and will try to get my ground exam completed.

I miss flying, and can't wait to get back at it!
