Back in the Air. Sorta.

Over the past two years I have been absent from flying and to be honest about it, I really have a lot of sad days when I see CAVU. 

Living on final approach to KCGF’s runway 6 does not help matters much.  Listening to the tower on my aviation radio makes me long for just an hour here and there detached from the ground.

Yesterday, a friend from my home base, 16G invited me for a ride in the 150 and I eagerly accepted.  Due to the ever changing weather in Cleveland, I was checking it constantly for 72 hours before the flight.  In Cleveland, if you don’t like the weather just wait, it will change before the next hour.

The flight was bumpy and it was hazy, but it was still great.  We flew to 38D for pie and coffee and back again to get the plane to the next renter. 

So why have I been out of the air for so long?  Two words.  Family First.

A few years ago my step father passed away, and eventually I moved in to take care of mom.  Also, my income was cut off and due to taking care of her I can not work except for a few hours out of the house.  So, pretty much I am tied to the ground and I hope that this year brings me better results.

Yesterday reminded me of the many things that I have been missing over the past few years and have come to the conclusion that something has to change, and soon.

Glad to hear you got some air time again! More important things obviously have to come first and you've had your fair share these past few years. Hope you have the opportunity to log time regularly again soon.

A lot of people feel the same way when they have been away from an exotic car too long. In Miami there are a lot of exotic car drivers, and just like flying, there is an adrenaline rush like no other.
It's great that you got to experience that again!

Thus, if you separated the difference between provide along with demand--demand has been always going to get huge and provide was a small bit lower than we thought. Which is the strategy to think about it. We have been a little lacking the amount. All of us still feel we will actually market around $1.Five billion over the entire Xbox globe, $1.5 million money, which is a huge amount pertaining to Ninety days of an buyer product. However just like we all said, as an alternative to experiencing Two.75-3 trillion games consoles, we feel the telephone number will likely be A couple of.A few [million]. That's a little below all of us believed.
