Last night, we got a thunderstorm, which was pretty remarkable for this time of year. This afternoon, we got another one, which is astonishing. Accordingly, the new teaser on TV a little bit ago had this to say: "Rain in the middle of June. What's up with that?" Priceless.

It just occurred to me that I haven't mentioned the mission house on LJ yet. So now I will. For the last 3 Sundays, we've been going to First Baptist Church in Bisbee (the next town west of here). We really like it, and we've been pretty well accepted by the people there. The second week we were there, the pastor's wife (Beth) told us the ( Read more... )

Ahh... it's nice to wake up and not have to think about going to class this afternoon. Now all I've got on my schedule is my flight period, and that's A-okay with me. I do have to remember to schedule that FAA test, though. I only get 3 business days to get it done, so if I forget to take it before we leave for Michigan, I'm not going to be able ( Read more... )

We have winds gusts right now of 43 knots! For those not in the know, a nautical mile is 6076 feet while a statute mile is 5280 feet, and knots are nautical miles per hour, so 43 knots is roughly 50 miles per hour. Holy smokes ( Read more... )

I was informed today that CFI ground training will not be offered this Fall, because there were only two students registered for it: me and my friend Isaac. This is troubling, for two reasons First, CFI ground made up 8 credits of my Fall schedule. Now that it's no longer being offered, I have to find 8 credits to take this Fall, to keep myself ( Read more... )

I mentioned this on Blogger, but I forgot to mention it here: I experienced my first birdstrike on Thursday afternoon. Erin and I had just taken off from Bisbee Douglas International and were only a couple hundred feet in the air, if that, when all of a sudden the plane shimmied a bit and Erin said, "I think that was a bird." Apparently a bird ( Read more... )

I'm sort of known for my bad memory. I have a real hard time recalling things that have happened in my life, even recently. That said, I spent over an hour this morning reading through some of the old posts on nabas_grey. There were many things that I only hinted at without giving any solid details, and I found myself wishing I knew what the ( Read more... )

Last night, God gave me the answer I'd been praying for (I mentioned it in my last post). It just popped into my head, and it blew my mind as soon as I recognized it for what it was. I went into my lesson this afternoon with a renewed commitment, and it paid off. It was one of the most valuable and productive lessons I've had in a very long time ( Read more... )

The strangest thing has happened. I started a blog on Blogger so I'd be able to post pictures (this was shortly before LJ made it so stinking easy to post a pic), and because nearly all my friends on here had abandoned their LJs. So I moved to Blogger and everything was great and I was happy. But then one day I realized I don't like posting on ( Read more... )
