I can't believe that it has been three months since I've posted anything! I apologize for the silence and will only offer as an excuse the fact that Cathy and I have been as busy in the past few months as either of us has been in our lives. I won't post all of the details, but here's the Reader's Digest Condensed version of the past two months.We purchased a condo in Ypsilanti MI
We gutted the condo and started renovations. This single item has consumed a HUGE amount of our time, energy, and money.
We sold the Bonanza. 3316C is headed to a new home in Germany soon.
We bought a boat since out condo is on Ford Lake.
We have rediscovered fishing.
Most notably, and sadly, I received heads up that furlough is coming soon. Since the Delta purchase of Northwest, things have been changing, and the possibilities of furlough have been in the air. Looks like it may happen next month.
As for other happenings, my daughter Jamie was one of 12 students accepted into a very challenging sonography course in Orlando, and Brandon has been accepted into undergraduate studies at Purdue. Cathy and I are immensely proud of both of them. Great job Jamie and Brandon!
Since this is likely to be my last month of "living the dream", I will do my utmost to publish often and share the adventures. Although I am very sad to have to step down, my heart goes out to my fellow furloughees that are completely saddled with thousands of dollars in student loans and debt. My dream may be short lived and I may on unemployment soon, but unlike many of my fellow pilots, Cathy and I will be OK, thanks to Cathy's persistance in saving for the proverbial rainy day.
Safe travels everyone.
