Quick

My flight went off as planned, and we had a good time and ended up working on crosswind landings for my last flight of 2018.  We're supposed to fly tomorrow too, but the weather forecast says "no way".  So I'll get an update on stats for the end of the year from MyFlightBook, and I'm interested to see some of them.  I like that kind of data when it requires no work on my part to figure out.  ;)

Steve has been "the man" around here this weekend.  He got the microwave installed, he got his mom's shower fixed, got some shelving cleaned up, got a sink over there fixed up, and went down into the basement and found that the sewage had backed up and piled up onto the floor.  He had to clean an entire stack of fresh poop off the floor, then get down in the drain and the line and clear it out so that it could flow freely again.  Tanner had been here an said he had to plunger the toilet, and apparently that was the start of the issues, and it just pushed it back out down in the basement.  Gross, extra gross, but glad that he caught it when he did, before it became a worse problem, and glad that he's capable of dealing with sewage plumbing.  As well as electrical/wiring.  As well as water plumbing for the shower, knowing how to turn the water off out at the street, etc.  It's handy to be handy and good to know this stuff.  We'd have had to call a professional if it was just us ladies around, for any of these jobs he did this weekend...so he's feeling rather accomplished, as he should be.

I was driving home from the airport, hadn't eaten lunch yet and it was 3 pm or better.  I kept thinking about the new Taco Bell on Markland, and all I could think was, "When will a Taco Bell EVER be any cleaner than it is right now, freshly built, brand new doors opened this week, fresh-faced eager employees."  I eat Taco Bell like once a year.  I decided now was the best time to do that.  Seriously, it will never be cleaner.

While I was in line, the guy in front of me put his car in reverse and backed up at the window.  He left his car in reverse.  This is a terrible idea, folks.  You're going to forget you're in reverse.  So I backed up away from him several feet.  I'm sure the car behind me was wondering what I was doing.  Sure enough, the guy in front of me starts heading backwards before stopping abruptly and going forward.  This is called Defensive Driving, I think.  ;)

That's the end of today.  It's coming up on midnight, I've had microwave popcorn, lots of things are in better shape around two houses today, and if I watched the NFL any more, I'd care more that the Colts apparently came from a 1-5 record to end up in the playoffs, something only two other teams have ever done.  So that's nice.   On to tomorrow's duties...

Likely last flight of 2018, in the pattern at Kokomo.
