Home...

Home for a little while.

I've been flying everyday trying to get certified to be a flight instructor. Roy, my room mate in McMurdo is in town. We went to the Denver auto show. Lots of new cars but nothing really special. Nissan had their new super car, the GT-R, there. 485 horses, 4 wheel drive, pretty neat.
Suzuki had thier latest Hayabusa. 1300cc's. I was twisting the throttle and making motorcycle sounds.
I ran out and bought a bike the first day back and have been having fun cruising around on it. Driving over stuff, off road a bit, construction site exploring, and it gets me around town pretty good too. I have it kitted out pretty good for the trip to Alaska in a couple weeks. Hard luggage, center stand, crash bars, special 'short person' seat. Overall keeping busy, studying alot, flying every day and trying to meet up with people before I head out again.
