We flew back to St. Louis last weekend to meet with a few people at work about jobs and to look for a house. Timing seems to be everything, a position came up the morning I was in at work looking for a job and it seems like a good match. They’ve already […]

Well, we’ve been in Maryland for almost a year now. I’ve started working with my management to find a job back in St. Louis. As much as I love working out here, I hate living here. I’ve been offered a somewhat permanent position out here if we wanted to stay, but that’s […]

Bloody hell, it’s been a while since I wrote here. I’m in my fourth meeting of the morning now though and it’s just a telecon, so I have a little bit of time to write.
So yeah, we’re getting settled into Maryland. Maybe a little too settled, we’re talking to some people […]

Well, I made it to Maryland for 8 whole days. As of last night, I’m already back in St. Louis for a few days. I’ve only been to work out in Pax for 2 days so far.
Things are going pretty well. I really like working on base. I’m based […]

Things have been so so busy here I just haven’t had a chance to write. I’m only writing this now because I’m sitting in our hotel in St. Louis getting ready for bed. We’re picking the dogs up from the dogsitter in the morning and with any luck, we’ll be in MD tomorrow […]

Oh yeah, that’d be me.
Things are busy here. Really busy at times. Work has been incredibly busy and I can’t really post here when I’m working on the flight ramp (which is about 98% of the time now). I’m enjoying working on the plane, but our schedule has been incredibly […]

After a crazy week last week and working a 12 hour day Sunday, things are a bit slower so far this week. The aircraft is going thru fuel calibration and engine checks this week, so I don’t have a lot of avionics work going on right now. The break is nice, I’ve been […]

Work’s been absolutely hectic the last week. Doesn’t look like this new job is going to give me much free time. I’m posting this from the flight ramp where the aircraft is being modded. Only have a chance to post right now because the shop guys had to take a book I […]

As of 12:01AM tomorrow morning, our house will be on the market.
This week has been hectic at work. I officially started my new duties and I’m already far behind. Not online nearly as much as before, since I’m spending more time in meetings, in the avionics integration lab and on the […]

Work has actually be nice for the last week or so. Things are finally starting to slow down for me. Since December, I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to think. Today was a peer-review for one of my teams and it was one of the last major projects I needed […]
