Good to be back in the saddle

Post by Michael Blakely »

It's been a BUSY year.
- Doing double and triple duty while re-building my team at work
- Planning my daughter's wedding
- Home and yard renovations to get ready for the rehearsal dinner in our back yard
- Helping my daughter move to Texas
- My other daughter's high school graduation

On the drive to Texas, in the distance we could see the Pinal Airpark commercial airplane boneyard northeast of Tucson and the Davis Monthan-Tucson Air Force Base military boneyard. I'll need to go back to those and look more closely some day.

But today, I'm back in the saddle. It's the first Saturday in many many months with no obligations and time to fly. EGLL to LOWI. Ahhhh.

Note the Western Airlines DC-10 t-shirt and the Strategic Air Command sticker on the notebook.

You are one busy guy with everything in your personal life and your job. Even with all that, you do allot for this VA as well and we appreciate everything you do. I have the exact same joystick as you Mike.
