Steps

Step One, I let Fargo know I was pushing back until next week, that I'm not ready nor well and that pushing it any more was unwise.  They said "ok".  Next I contacted the Squirrels and told them I wasn't going to make it this Tuesday but would try to help catch up the kids however I could.  They said "ok".  I texted Nathan and asked if he'd help me with what I needed to do, and he said "Sat or Sun".  The weather looks like a problem now, but darn it, one thing at a time.  MBros is on for Tuesday.  The IL guy is pushed to Wednesday. Kaylee and M aren't going to Fargo with me.  Steve is down at Columbus and says it is going fine. I still have some angst going about the weather and the T-6 stuff, but I can't do anything about that right now, so doing what I can do.   Kaylee handed me a paper that says she needs picked up in Angola, Indiana (a 2.5 hour drive north of here) on June 30th, for an end-of-the-week program she's doing called "Hoosier Girls State".  It's a political leadership program.  June 30th is our Wings over Indy event, planned starting over a year ago, in which both Steve and I play a big part.  June 30th is also the day Dale E asked me to do a fly-over of a parade in Kokomo, twice that day.  So, I'm supposed to be in Angola, Indianapolis and Kokomo at the same time, with Angola being a 5 hour minimum round trip drive.  While we're at it, Wings Over Indy is a CAF event.  Due to recent CAF accidents around the country, the organization is planning to do a "safety stand down".  That means they ground all their planes.  If they do that over our event, our event is in real trouble.  So we wait on that, and there are a few more things to take one step at a time, apparently!

Meanwhile, Kaylee got her first job.  :)  She will be working part time at Wesleyan Day Care.  Her first day on the job is Friday, 9 am to 4 pm.  She will be working with two-year-olds.  This is where I crack up.  She doesn't know what to do with two year olds.  She liked working with 5-10 year olds.  She said she could just talk to them, interact, treat them like little normal people, and she got along well.  She was asking me "can two year olds like talk, walk, eat solid foods, how do you interact with them? I don't know what to do with them!"  She's not going to find two year olds to be her favorite thing, I'm about positive, but it's good experience for her.  Plus now she'll have the start of a resume, a first job out of the way, references, and such.  It'll be good for her.

I'm in the kitchen and a spider goes across the floor.  Steve is out of town.  This is an emergency situation.  I throw a paper towel on top of it, and jump back, waiting to see where it comes out, but it doesn't, so I jump on top of the paper and jump off, until I see a wet spot on the towel.  Leave it there for an hour and stare at it in case it moves, and then take another paper towel to wad it up and throw it away.  A few shivers later, I recover.  If a big one shows up, though, I'm breaking out the spray and hosing down whatever it's on.

I went out to Kokomo tonight because the weather was nice, and I kept finding myself staring at the sky.  I've obviously not been well, but I felt better today.  I also hope to fly tomorrow if the weather lets us, and the T-6 is buried in the back.  So I went out to rearrange the airplane to the front, get it ready to go, put the 340 in the back, etc.  It took some time, and it was pretty hot and muggy out there, with thunderstorms around to the south.  By the time I got the T-6 put together, stuff moved away from it, tugged out, the 340 tugged out then back into the back, and the T-6 out on the ramp, I realized that there was no seat in the T-6.  It's off getting repacked.  So I got some cushions and put in there, sat down in it, and could tell I was lower than normal.  Not a huge deal, but a different sight picture.  Should be able to handle that.  But while I was sitting there, I realized I was tired, sweating, and felt weak again.  So I sat there for a few minutes, then called it as not a good idea to go flying.  My focus just wasn't there.  So, not yet.  I tugged it back into the hangar, in front, mostly ready to go, and came on home and ordered Japanese.

Tomorrow is a busy day, so hopefully I feel all right and the weather cooperates, both. I have things to do.
