Ohio

I didn't know as of 9 am whether I was flying locally with students and taking the 340 up to practice, or I was going to Frankfort, Logansport, Ohio, Logansport, Frankfort.  Word came down, I was doing the second one.  So I drove to Frankfort, we flew to L, then took Nick and his son Charlie over to Ohio for a job look, topped off, ate lunch, flew Nick back to Logansport, flew ourselves back to Frankfort, then I drove back home in time to get meds from CVS, grab some travel sized contact solution for the airline, feed Ann, feed the cat (she isn't eating well even on steroids right now but she did go outside to play and eat grass), and do a little studying for tomorrow.

Roadie ran outside and stood in the sun and ate grass and just really liked being out there for about 15 minutes.  That was nice to see. I sent Kaylee a picture and she "hearted" it too.

Tomorrow is my 340 recurrent training, so I pulled up the airport we're going into. It's in the mountains, at Elizabethtown, TN. There's one non-precision approach into it from one direction only.  So we'll be going to a nearby tower controlled field to do some too. I'll be flying a plane whose avionics I don't know well into airports I don't know with approaches I don't know after not flying 340s hardly at all in quite a while with somebody judging/critiquing me.  I hate that.  Yeah, yeah, it'll be fine. It's always fine. But I still hate it.  So I'm preparing as best I can at least on the approaches and such.  But in the meantime, I have to get up at 5 am to drive an hour to Frankfort to be wheels up by 7 am to be down there by 8:30 am.  At least we'll be done by 5 pm, as he said he had to get his mom to a doctor appointment at 5.  I wonder what doctor is open at 5 pm, but...I don't care, if we can just be done.

E was also coughing really bad today, head congestion, didn't feel great.  I almost jumped out of the plane, 'cause I can NOT get sick right now. It would show up in a week...when I head down to Florida to do the tour. I don't have a day off for two weeks down there.  I can not be sick.  So I didn't touch my face or nose, washed my hands a lot, and am hoping for the best...I'll be with him all day tomorrow too.  I can't ditch this.  So...wish me healthy luck. 

It was gray, overcast and nasty all morning here, so this was a nice sight.
