Our President, the Warrior!
Think back to the days of Knights, Kings, Castles, and fair maidens that needed prince charming to come and rescue them from the ominous and evil dragon… Ok, well at least think back to the days of Knights and Kings. In those days people fought for their freedom (just as we do today) however there is a difference. In those days the King fought right with the armies, no? Or has modern film battle replication...

I would let Google acquire me
Doesn’t that just sound awkward? But think about it, what has Google done that has not turned out well? This company is a huge turning point for those of us in the technology field. This company does everything… over the years it has acquired so many different companies, put each company to use in its field of expertise not only helping the taken over business, but Google themselves, and all the people involved in both...

That’s right, this post is coming from the browser on my phone. It really is quite neat all the fun things this little device is capable of. So do you want to hear my newest personal revelation? Well I guess not really a revelation but more of a discovery I guess. Of course you want to know… ve decided that I can’t stay content. I get bored too easily. Anyone that knows me well could...

Spring is in the air…
I love spring… it is truly my absolute season of the year (note that I had previously written, favorite time of the year… but then decided on different wording for those that would naturally have Christmas songs stuck in your head for the rest of the day… you can thank me later) Spring is good though. Today we threw the frisbee in the backyard, went to the driving range to hit golf balls, had a... [read more]

Toyota Flying Pig 10K
I finished my first race! My time for the ‘Toyota Flying Pig 10K’ was 1 hour and 1 minute (unnofficially) I’m not sure when the official times are posted on the internet, but I’ll let you know then. It was a fun race. You can see the site at http://www.flyingpigmarathon.com. I’m looking forward to running more races like this one in the near future. Dan and I are thinking about running the Kicks for Kids... [read more]

Is it Autumn already?
So this morning I registered for classes… I can’t believe that it we’re already thinking about Autumn when it feels like Spring has just begun. It’s sad really. Here’s my schedule… enjoy! [read more]

Flight Lesson 5
Not much of note today really. I was kinda tired throughout the lesson, which may not have been a good thing, but still I got compliments, so I think I was alright. The winds were at 15 knots from South West, with a few gusts here and there getting up to around 20 to 25 knots. Week took off from 21L and Lunken with wind slightly coming from our right. I over compensated with the... [read more]

Flight Lesson 4 - and an amazing weekend
Today’s flight was spectacular. The weather is amazing (wind was gusting up to 16 knots near Lunken, so it did get jerky during the pattern). There was a showcase of airplanes new and old out at Lunken today which drew a huge crowd. Although, it also brought a delay in my lesson departure. I met today my new instructor, Brian, who is a very fine person. With Richard’s overly busy schedule, I was asked if... [read more]

A …new… idea
So I’m not going to go into too much detail yet, however, I will say that the development of Singing Flyboy is going to be taking a slight leave of absence for the time being. I have something else up my sleeve. This new idea is a much lower maintenance plan which is always a good thing since I’m putting in 40+ hours at Kroger and 4ish hours in the sky and a rather large... [read more]

Flight Lesson 3
Well this was an exciting lesson to say the least. Tonight’s lesson comprised of a few new areas. First off, we discussed the traffic pattern on the ground before getting into the plane and flying away. But also before flying away I got to do the Pre-Flight check list on my own (none too exciting but something new). After making a complete fool of bumbling self on the radio to both ground and tower at... [read more]
