Ketchup

No, not "ketchup", "catch up".. as in I went out to lunch with a co-worker/friend for the first time in many months. Did some real (as in more than 10 miles) riding, cleaned-up email, paid all the bills, digested the various processes and procedures for work the next few weekends, and a variety of other things.

May be going out with some newly made friends tonight. If not, then it's more studying for me and an early bed time since I've got to be up at 6am for a DR test.

I need to find a table and a pair of chairs (comfortable enough to sit in for several hours at a time) that I can put on the deck so I can work outside.

I'm still trying to get up to speed on the 1,000,001 little tidbits of information relating to flying. My only real weaknesses at this point are airpace - which sectionals and my GPS show me, and weather - which I need to learn for my next certificate, but for now it's not that critical since I'm doing all "fair weather" flying anyway.

I think next month I may take a lesson or two toward my next (instrument) rating so I can practice relevant skills while logging the necessary cross-country time. Hopefully by this time next year I'll have my instrument rating. Then it's just a bunch of studying to get my instructor rating.. which builds hours quickly. Once I have some hours in (500?), I can fly (cargo) boxes around and get paid for it. Yeah!
