As it always does, a lot has happened since my last entry. It hasn’t even been that long since I wrote last either. Well, I passed my very next ride after hooking. Overall it was a much better ride, but I still have much work to do. I should have solo-ed today but the weather killed me. Instead I got sent to an Instrument Simulator unexpectedly. Nice. I did fine though. My “Instrument Control was pretty decent”, according to my instructor. I should solo tomorrow, and guess what. I got put in for another instrument-sim tomorrow morning before I go solo. Grrreat, like I already don’t have enough on my mind. Anyway, I got stood up again today for an EP during formal brief. I did quite well, and I had some advanced warning of what the EP would be since I flew with the IP who gives them to us. Pretty cool, on his part, to give me the same EP the day before I get stood up for it. G is for “Gift”. Whatever. I took the Advanced Instruments test today (supposed to be the hardest, and it was) and I got a 100%. Yipee, Scooby-doobitty-doo, who cares, I got more stuff to study for already. Alot to do, but still loving it here. On a purely positive note, my wife is graduating from College on Saturday and finally moving into the house here (I miss her). I am so proud of her. She did what took me 6 years, in 3 ½ years. She’s awesome, what can I say. I cannot hold a candle to her.
Way to go, D!
