Heatwave

I went to Wal-Mart today to try to find khaki shorts I could wear. The women's section had almost nothing, and I'd given up. Then I walked past the men's section and found a ton of them. I don't know what size I wear in men's, but I grabbed a few and tried them on and found two that will work.  While I was at it, I picked up some off-white shoes. My "tennis shoes" are all black, and I need a lighter color with the khaki stuff that will hopefully be cooler when it's 100 degrees out here. 

Worked on a lot of problems, had one issue after another for an upcoming set of trips. Flew with Greg in the RG to do an IFR cross-country, and it's hotter than satan's armpit up there. Steve went on to an EAA meeting and I just came home to work on my issues for upcoming trips some more.  I finally have a hotel room for too much money down in Indianapolis so I can get to the international at 4 am for a 5:20 am departure after I get back from a late night flight into Tennessee somewhere around 9-10 pm, and then have to drive down to Indy. It'll be great.  My flight leaves at 5:20 ish, I land in Washington DC for a layover, then end up in Syracuse NY at 10 am, and then I have to get a ride over to my plane and start hopping rides in the 100 degree heat in the flight suit.  Sunday is more of the same until I have to leave around 2-3 pm, and take a guy with me, to give him training on the way home. Because I'll love having stranger company for 6 hours next that I have to talk to.

I'm still grumpy.  It was a hot one and the next three days are gonna be a lot.
