Went for the flight portion of my BFR (Biennial Flight Review) today and passed. I'm now a fully fledged private pilot again (woo-hoo)!
I've still got a bit of studying to do (doncha just hate re-learning the same thing 3 or 4 times?), and need to practice a few things (nothing I'm doing wrong, just things I could be better at), but I'm legal. I've rented the plane on Sunday morning, so I'll get the practice in then and do the studying over the next week or two (it's several hundred pages).
.. and in my tiny little corner of the world, that's about as good as news can get.
Over.

Change of Direction
I've decided to listen to what I've been saying in my blog and cut out some of the crap and replace with quality filler (in my life, not the blog).
To that extent, I've taken the golf lesson, ordered clubs and will start hitting the driving range this weekend with hopes of a game in a week or two.
More importantly though, I've been studying my ass off. I took a ground school lesson yesterday and will be taking a flight lesson tomorrow. With a little luck, my BFR (Biennial Flight Review) will be signed off within a week or two and I'll be a real pilot again.
Not much in the way of airplanes available for rent out this way. I need to find some evening/weekend contract work for a few months so I can get some bills paid off and get a plane financed before it's too late.
Absolutely gorgeous day today. Been out riding once (found a lost and very thirsty siberian husky with no tags - me with no phone to call for help.. very sad) today and am going to try to make it out again.
All the windows and doors are open and the fans are on and the place still smells like a friggin' garlic and onion brewery (if there were such a thing). The eggrolls are good, too bad I can't eat them (diet).
It's too nice out to be sitting here blogging, or even working. Going to get my work done and go play.
buh bye.
