Yesterday we took a break and went to the Harley Davidson Factory. It was quite interesting. No pictures allowed in the factory, these are from the lobby. The tour started with a 10 minute history of the Harley Davidson Company, then the tour of the factory.

It was excellent,  and for the first time in a very very long time, I felt pride in being an American

First Day Of Spring/Last Warm Day

Today at 11:57 local time is the minute the sun will be overhead at the equator, the start of spring in the northern hemisphere. Here in Kansas, the temp is supposed to rise to 70 degrees F.

Tomorrow, back to a high of 45, It looks like it will be cold in Kansas till I leave to head  home to Cayman, one week from tomorrow.

Happy Spring!! Enjoy your day!

Cold

Yesterday morning, the weatherman was all smiles, talking about how warm it was going to be. It was the coldest day yet. Not necessarily temperature-wise, but it felt like it. I went out and bought long underwear and put it on in the store. Mine are black, like these.

I’ve been freezing ever since I got  here. It seems colder and colder the longer I stay. I need some hot sun.

I have to do laundry…. again. Tomorrow is the equinox, the days will be longer than the nights starting tomorrow. Thank God.

Almost Halfway

One week ago, it was our first day of school. It seems like a long time. I guess that tomorrow or the day after is the half way point in the training. I have a feeling the second half will seem to go a lot faster than the first.

Today we start the second piece of equipment, the VOR. we’re pretty done with the DME except for some review at the end.

That’s about it for today. Have a good one!

Most Excellent Weekend

Today everybody’s gonna post about St Paddys Day. Not me. I’m posting about my weekend.

I went to Lake of the Ozarks and saw my gradeschool friends, brothers that I haven’t seen since the 1970s. As a bonus, I got to see their Mom, who I thought lived far away, but lived just down the road.

Also I got to drive the coolest four wheel drive in the woods on some steep hills. Talk about a fun toy!

Below are a few pics.

Thursday Thoughts

Apologies to my blog friends. I haven’t been able to comment on your blog. And it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to while I’m at school

Here’s a picture of the cold Kansas sunrise, although it should be warmer today.

Yesterday seemed like “Wow! It’s Wednesday already? ” and today seems like “Dang, it’s not Friday yet?”

I’m ready for the weekend.

Have a good day!

Frikkin Cold!

Yesterday was in the 70s. Then yesterday a cold wind kicked in and it started raining. This morning it is 31  degrees and freezing. The high today is supposed to be 44.

It is so cold humans camnot comprehend it. I go outside and say “daaaaag it’s cold”. Then when I’m inside I say “it can’t be THAT cold”.Then I go back outside and say “Daaaaaaang!” again.

Above is a picture of the first snow I’ve seen since the year 2000.

Have a nice (warm) day!
