Waiting…
1.5 hours until takeoff…. 0.5 hours til the storm of the century… canceled? I really don’t know. I called and left a message with Flamingo about 30 minutes ago and am waiting on further word. If I had to guess, which I will, I would guess that since I have paid for 30 minutes of ground instruction and 60 minutes of flight instruction, I will show up and get 30 minutes of ground instruction and...

Pre Lesson 1
Exciting day! Dad and I went down to Lunken Airport to visit the folks at Flamingo Air Academy. They were extremely friendly and very excited to have me as a prospective student. We talked in the office for a little while, but were soon outside with the planes poking around. We were able to view one of their training planes, a Beechcraft something, I wish I could remember. I climbed up into the cockpit, and... [read more]

Rednecks and Airplanes
So when you think of a redneck you think of what? bonfires on driveways big fold-out lawn chairs with foot rests tiki-torches beers and margaritas playing UNO on a flipped upside-down recycle bin and (cool) cowboy hats bought from Meijer… Yes? No? Well that was us tonight. Dan and I hung out on our back lot with our new fire pit just shooting the breeze and having a great time. Roasting marshmallows and hot dogs... [read more]

Alarm clocks…
Have you ever noticed how it is so much more difficult to get out of bed to an alarm clock, than it is to get out of bed when you just wake up. Even if it is in the middle of the night, and you wake up to go pee… I don’t lay there thinking… only five more minutes… I get up and go pee. So basically, the ideal alarm clock would be something that... [read more]

A New Look…. and pigs
Hey All - Happy Saturday to you too! There really isn’t anything quite as nice compared to waking up just before noon on a sunny spring Saturday with the knowledge that you have nothing to do all day. Well, unfortunately for me, I do have something to do today, I have to clean the bathroom… Let’s just put that off for later. So, as I am sure you have noticed, the blog has gotten a... [read more]

NCAA Passion
Those who know me well, know that I am not the biggest sports fan in the world. Sure, I, like any other warm blooded male with the slightest bit of testosterone enjoy the cold beer while sitting on the couch with a few buddies, watching this ‘March Madness’ or Monday Night Football with pizza, but I’m not obsessed. In this time of March Madness, I heard a statistic that 2.1 Billion Dollars are wasted/lost in... [read more]

What I want to be when I grow up!
Before getting into the substance of this post, I would like to make note that I am done (at least in the development phase) with all projects relating to my current team at Kroger. I finished up my Informix 4gl program the other day, and worked up the script to execute it with options from the cronjob. It’s a fine program I might say if you give me a moment to gloat. As a korn... [read more]

A little bit about nothing…
So I was going to write a post on how writing code on a Unix Box really sucks… VI is a great program and all, but I would definitely take notepad over it any day. Yes, I could copy paste, but that involves more movements of the mouse/keys. I’m learning Informix 4GL, and copy pasting after changing minute lines every 15 seconds would definitely add to the production time a few more minutes than I... [read more]

The Homeless Union
This morning, on the way into church, a man with nasty teeth, a need for a shave, and an even greater need for a shower was standing outside the entrance asking those coming in if they could spare a dollar so he could get lunch. Usually, I’ll give a dollar to those who ask, if I do indeed (and it is rare) have cash on me. This time I thought I’d try something different. (Reaches... [read more]
