Bwaha, this album is awesome. Though holy gawd, I hope I don't end up humming Wayne Newton in the airplane this afternoon. That tends to draw ODD LOOKS. APLENTY.
Jayses, it's been busy. Which is good! Because I totally need the cash. Here's a lesser known fact of the industry: pilots do not make a lot of money. Seriously, unless you're left seat (Captain) in big charter or the airlines, you're probably scraping a living. And instructors? Oho, man, barely enough to cover the month- if I had a mortgage or kids or a coke habit I'd have to streetwalk on the side or something to make ends meet. This is why we don't ride the white horse, mein freunds!
It's kind of looking grey and rainy this afternoon however, ssssooo maybe my afternoon flight will be cancelled. The ceiling is low, about 2000', which nixes any upper airworks, which I think is the point my (new) student is atHAHAHA MEL TORME, SWINGIN' ON THE MOON. This album rocks XD.
EDIT: Flight status, cancelled! Which is too bad, the student is a really nice fellow who just needs the 1.4 hours to be able to write his written exam for the PPL (private pilot licence). But the ceilings are just too low for upper airworks. AND SO, your faithful narrator shall hie instead to the tea shop, to study and do some writing instead. It's a good way to spend a grey Sunday afternoon.
