I purchased an admission ticket for Raleigh Supercon next month. Won't be there that long, though, as I still have to work later in the day. It's better than nothing.

My current life situation today and thinking about it made me smile a bit.

*heads over to the sad thread about how it's not actually the case*

Also, I got my result back for my Aeronautical Initiation exam. Passed with flying colours, I can now start training to get a private pilot's license, and since I'm under 21 up to half of the fees are paid for by the national aeronautical association for aviation!
Who even looks at signatures anyways?

Multitasking is just a way to be less efficient at two different things simultaneously

There's a heck of a lot of job openings for commercial airline pilots, and it pays well...

(About a decade ago I read an article in Forbes saying that over the next 20 years, the entire output of then-existing commercial-pilot-training schools worldwide was insufficient to supply the pilots needed for the expected increase of commercial aviation in China. Let alone any expansion in the rest of the world, or replacements for retiring pilots.)

I'm in a love/hate relationship right now. I think these little guys are awesome to find, catch, and look at, because they're pretty cool little bugs. But screw them when they fly into your face out of nowhere. Terrifying little [censored] when they do that...

Nothing for scale here, but this guy was just short of 3 inches, around the size of a thumb, (I've seen them go well over 4 inches in the past). The Palo Verde (Root Borer) Beetle. This one was hanging out under my porch light as I came home earlier.

My girlfriend came over to spend the weekend with me last Saturday. It was pretty awesome, considering we live in different cities.

Well I ship out in two moths so in the meanwhile I'm ordering a bunch of small things for my car to get it back up to par since the accident/my show days before I go. I have new brakes on the way, I just installed a new License plate Neon tube border, I got new Laminex Fog light covers, some vinyls are on the way, and more.

I also have a 2 week vacation on the way soon and I'm gonna play the ever living [censored] out of my games. Breath of The Wild, Undertale, Doom, Wolfenstien, Hyperdimensia Neptunia, Subnautica, Dragon Age Inquisition, Megaman Battle Network Series, Megaman Starforce Series, and so many more. I'm gonna marathon this so hard.

From there after I get my car spruced up again and I clean everything out proper, I'm gonna hit the Drag strip a few last times to get that out of my system and benchmark the car so I know what to look forward to when I go stage 3 after a new intercooler and some other mods.

And of course, I have to clean the 7 guns I own and prep them for a long few months in the safe. I'm gonna have a busy and awesome couple of weeks.

One for you and one for stuff you take with you? Or do they take you apart and reassemble you at the destination?

And how do they get the moths to stop flitting around the runway lights and actually land?

They Ship me with my stuff first, then my personal jet gets disassembled and shipped out in one massive crate for me to put back together as a test.
And no....the moths never land....they NEVER. FRIGGIN. LAND! Always doing their own damned thing.

After being single for almost half the year, I have a girlfriend now. She's a wonderful woman who really makes me happy.
Been around this forum for over 8 years now. Everyone I've known has left, now it's my time to do the same.
