Since "Bad Pipes" much has happened. Plane has since been fixed, turns out it was a good thing to not have exhaust fumes pumped against the firewall and into the cabin. The fire hazards seem to be included with these concerns. So far, everything is going well, but a little stressful. In leau of not finding a job, I have been keeping as busy as possible looking good on paper i.e. flying as much as I can, working on my Master's and trying to find prospective states for a new life (providing someone wants to hire me). Not to be too picky, but I may not go with the Secret Service as I planned, but I still want to attend their job fair in Pittsburgh and see if I can talk to another recruiter and get to the core of what the job really is (without turning them off to me entirely--no mean feat).

Autumn was stellar this year. Bright leaves and the mild weather always did center me. A good bud is in Texas right now for some required Air Force training but he probably missed all of it. Flying with the fall colors is very inspiring. Unfortunately, I am at a part in my lessons that have me far too busy in the cockpit that I was unable to take any more pictures. Touch and go landings are very demanding.

The only trouble with PA is that our ceiling, i.e. the legal altitude of flight without a PFA rating is quite suspect, some days its illegal to fly even in the pattern [around the runway in general] because the ceiling and clouds are just too damn low; at least for the aircraft I have.

Until then, I dabble and doodle and unfortunately between school, flying and work, have had very little time to actually sit and -draw- anything, something I truly hope to address.
