How times flies

Wednesday, June 10, 2009
 
There's an old saying:  "Time flies when you are having fun".  Since I'm flying and having fun I'd like to know where the time is actually going.. Especially since I'm not seeing it fly by me when I'm in the air.. I know I know.. That's a bit corny on my part.. However it seems the older I get the faster time "flies".. As a kid I couldn't WAIT to get older and would constantly wish time would just hurry up.. I was having a lot of fun then too.. Now that I'm older I'm constantly wondering where the heck my time is going (since I never seem to have enough of it).. All that to say I wish time would slow up a bit now! 
 
Now that I've got that out of the way on to the flying part.. In 2 more weeks I'm officially going to have my heli license!  2 weeks!  That is if I pass the final test.. I better pass as HOLY SMOKES have I worked hard for this.. I thought flying a heli would be a whole lot easier than this.. However it has proved to be challenging in the most unusual of ways..  In fact hovering has proven to be the hardest.. You'd think not but let me tell you it is alot like standing on a beach ball balancing while patting your head and rubbing your stomach while reciting the alphabet, all at the same time... My brain goes you want me to do WHAT!?!?!  And for some reason every now and again while I'm practicing my left foot gets a twitch in it and presses just a wee bit harder on that pedal.. I think every now and again it has a blond moment.. Laughing.. The first time I got full control of the heli I thought I was going to pass out from one part fear,  one part adrenaline and one part pure pleasure.. All in all I am having the best time..
 
Hope everyone is enjoying their spring as much as I am enjoying mine.. And CONGRATS to Mike and Kendra on their wedding!  I'm so psyched for you guys!  May you have a long full happy marriage ahead of you!
