It's been nice out my way - high forties at the crack of dawn, going up to low eighties by mid afternoon. Overcast today, so it'll be cooler.
I've been trying to figure out what my bank did to scoop up $30 from me, but there's nothing unpaid listed, no emails, and my insurance payment was recieved.
I really have no idea.

late fee
you have too much money fee
they seem to have the weirdest fees
Good Morning Aridzonans!
I walked 40 minutes on the treadmill this morning...
probably too much since I havent exercised in 2 years.
gonna go check out the weight room after I finish reading email
we have a full nautilus machine, so I can do a lot without exceeding my 15 lb lifting limit

Greetings everyone from Orlando, FL. I got here yesterday for my semi-annual checkride (flight evaluation) in the simulator. I passed with flying colors ... no pun intended.
I finished my eval with a real doozy. First the instructor failed my right engine. Then my flaps. Then set my left engine on fire. Last, he failed all 5 of the data display screens. Talk about your bad day. I hope this never happens in reality (chances are that I'll win the lottery 5 weeks in a row before this does). It is good to know that I can have all this go wrong yet still safely land on the correct runway at the correct airport.
Gotta go to bed soon. Second session in "the box" is tomorrow at 0615. I'm glad my body finally adjusted somewhat to the time change.

Evening everyone!
Hope the first two days of the week have been kind to everyone.
Truck goes back to the stealership tomorrow morning, woo hoo. My fuel gauge and drivers side door lock still don't work, after almost 1k in just those parts you would think they would work. UGH they better fix it this time, I am over having to take the truck to them.

Mark: I waved to the West for ya. The hotel walls are a little thick, but it's the thought that counts, right? At least they're enjoying great weather here.

As for flying an Airbus, there's a joke in the airline industry about that: How do you tell the difference between an Airbus First Officer (copilot) and an Airbus Captain?
The FO says "Hey, what's it doing?"
The Captain says "Hey, it's doing it again."
My flight to PHX leaves in less than 5 hours. Whooooohooooooo!
