Sorry

Busier than all hell. Life is hitting the fan on so many fronts:

Professional - I passed 1200 hours of flight time. For those of you keeping score, that's 50 days of non-stop flight time. I can now be PIC of a charter flight :) I think I'm going to fly past 1300 hours here in a little bit and then destroy the 1000 hours of dual given mark. [Dual given is how pilots log instruction given to other people]. Now I need to have two students pass check rides and I'll get the gold seal and finish my last CFI goal (I am 6 of 8 check rides for students at the moment).

Also, I am trying to get my MEI checkride done. My schedule is so full I can't get time on it 3 weeks in the future to take the freaking checkride. Plus the airplane is broken :( Oh well, it can always be worse. I have no rush to get it done, but the price of the airplane is going up (it was $205 when I started at the employee rate, now it's $260 per hour only 7 months later. Damn fuel prices!).

Work - I have billed 30 hours of time this pay period. We started the pay period on Monday... 4 days of work and I've billed 30 hours, and flown ~20ish of them. That's 5 hours of flight time a day and ~8 hours of billing a day. CRAZY CASH $$$$ BLING BLING!!! Oh, the logbook thanks me too.

Personal - I have zero free time. EAA is coming up and I plan on laying off work a little so I don't get run over by a supercub in the practice area. Plus I've taken off a few days to relax.

I am getting back into Magic the Gathering (damn that game, it's like gamer crack) and have spent some mad cash on old school cards. I'm building a turbo sliver Elder Dragon Highlander deck with crazy ass mana acceleration, infinite loops, and old school broken cards. E-bay is my friend (and worst enemy of my bank account)!

Hopefully it'll slow down next week, and I'll get a chance to post some. Have a good one.
