Prep

Whew, things are crazy right now. I really don't want to even talk about politics, but wow things are crazy!

Tomorrow I head to Phoenix. The headwinds are SO bad I have to go low, at 20,000', which means I'll have to stop for fuel. It's going to take me 2.5 hours to get to Kansas to stop for fuel, then another 3.3 to get to Phoenix from there. However, those strong winds are forecast to be there when we come home the next day too, and that means I'll get home, non-stop, in 3.5 hours. Those are some strong winds, man.

It's going to be sunny and 80 degrees in Phoenix, by the way. I regret I'll only be there one day. ;)

I did some exercising today. I'm working my way back up on weight bearing things. I don't have much stamina and not a fraction of the strength I used to. I'm back up to being able to do some push ups, both cheater and real. But I did some stuff each hour that I was home. Jumping jacks, push-ups, burpees, mostly stuff that had a little impact. And walking. 

Morgan and Cameron had their first flight together in the Meridian today. Weather was questionable so they left early, and it all went just fine. I left my phone on in case they had a problem before they left at 6 am, but they didn't. They beat the weather back in, so all is well. I told them I was sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee watching my kids on a road trip checking in to make sure they were okay. ;) 

I cleaned up some stuff, did the laundry, packed my bag for tomorrow's trip, ordered some things off of Amazon that we need, restocked some household stuff, got the house ready for cleaning, worked on the trip info, returned two phone calls (boo), tracked my 'kids' on their trip, got a debrief of that, and enjoyed my last day at home for a couple days here.

Now I'm ready to get back out there and do some flying, make some money, and enjoy some sunshine. I'll have to look up some things to do in Phoenix.
