Done

I just found out that this blog has caused me some grief professionally, and hence, I'm not really motivated to continue for the time being.

I started it over five years ago to share some of my travels and adventures, and to be honest, to practice my writing skills and to keep track of the things that have happened to me over the years.  It has served that purpose, and I've been having fun.  I have been careful, but in this environment it is not wise to put too much information out there about one's activities.  I regret that it's come to this, but I got what I wanted out of writing it.  To anyone following, I thank you for joining me.  I may be back.....

Travel Requested

To say I've been bored is an understatement.  Kind of a really stupid thing to say, and someone should slap me, but I'm going to say it anyway:....how much mountain biking, hunting, fishing and playing guitar can I handle?  I complained to a friend and he said, "That does not bode well for your eventual retirement."

I love flying, what can I say?  And I miss it terribly.  I landed that Super Puma in Poland after two months of flying daily, and over thirty years of never not flying for any extended period, the first week of March.  It's now late October.  Damn.  Oh sure, there was a week of simulator flying in Italy this summer and another in Newark just last month (by the way, Certified Level D simulator time does count),  but I want to take to the skies.  I want to go flying!  Looks like I'm getting my wish.  Travel arrangements have been requested.  I should be back behind some controls and flying by this time next week.....

My favourite toy.  Built that cabinet myself with a pair of Vintage Ted Weber Alnico speakers.  Tone heaven!   And I'm over 25,000 words into my book as well......
