Tell Jake ..Congrats.. on first solo flight..
Just to mess with his mind, ask him if he talked to himself as he flew it.. About 8 of 10 people do talk there selves through it.. And give you a ..how did you know?.. look when you ask.. I talked my way through first solo.. And a couple more first flights as upgrades to different plaines..

Sunny, calm, about 10F for a high today.. Out for a McDonalds coffee, just to get out of the house for a bit.. Seemed every store parking lot was very full, so never attempted to go anywhere..
 
Relaxing Saturday after what was an unusually busy Friday night late shift with the last trolley put inside woolies at 9:44pm unfortunately for a second fortnight in a row the contractor's Adelaide based accounting staff forgot to pay my wages on Friday night so I'll be chasing it up on Monday either with my employment consultant or site supervisor so they can get me paid for the 12 hours I clocked that fortnight thankfully I still have a healthy amount in my normal pay week account to get a couple of things on Monday morning

Whilst driving to Mount Gambier yesterday arvo a lil bit before 4pm traversing through Tarpeena noticed red/blue lights surely enough one of the local SAPOL highway patrol was doing breatho and waved me in needless to say it was a tad amusing 🤣 i passed before being waved on as he pulled up another vehicle to get tested

Made it into town a tad after 4:00 and headed back to CSE Crosscom as the helical antenna i brought previous day didn't fit magnetic base luckily enough the techie who does a lot of my radio work was kind enough to swap it out for something similar and also did the swap so I wasn't charged for the new antenna
 
Working today! Going to clean my building first, then I'll go to my Thursday job!! I'll be off tomorrow! Fixing to feed the cats and Bear, then have some coffee by the fire! Got some laundry done already, stuff that I'm not hanging out, it's in the dryer. Not sure what I'll get into later, plenty to do!!
 
A conversation with a patient yesterday relaxed some of my Dad anxiety. She’s a charge nurse in the oncology department at the hospital he’ll be having his surgery at. She told me the surgeon we have the consult with on Friday is the absolute best with awesome patient outcomes. I know that past performance doesn’t inform future success but it did enable me to exhale some.

Today is a small food shop at a larger supermarket that carries things that Lidl doesn’t. This afternoon will be a fire in the wood stove and cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
 
I envy you, wished I could still ski. Well, I probably could but too scared to get more injured so I just don't
Have fun trying them out. What kind did you get ?
I got Atomics and both Hubby’s are Voklis. He uses powder skis and slalom skis. 🎿
 
At 5:30am my bladder whispered "Hey, I know you want to sleep in, but I have other plans for you". From the can, to the counter, to the coffee pot, to the chair. Checked out a few online stores, updated my grocery order, checked my social media, and arrived here just in time for a second cup of caffeine.

I'm still working on my first cup of coffee
No rush today, but I do need to get husband's med stuff done in a few minutes, and get a fire going again.
Let the dog out for his pottying, and went to let him back in....carrying a frozen or petrified guinea leg, hoping it was an old one he found somewhere, but it sure is freezing out right now. Needing to take daughter and the boyfriend to the airport late afternoon, and they'll be going back to Tucson. We had a rip roaring game of Apples to Apples last night. Daughter went up to the back bedroom afterwards and disinfected the room I had shut up till company left. Now all I need to do is buy a new bedspread, got the laundry started that was up there, but threw the bedspread out. Sweet girl, didn't have to do that, but she worked at a mortuary for awhile and not much bugs here. Not sure what other plans today yet, will see if husband is up to doing something with them before they have to leave.
 
Today, I returned to Lowes to return the items I brought yesterday to fix the kitchen sink. My plumber friend told me it was under the house, so he and I will fix it when we warm up next week. Since it is cold, I will wait and return the items to Lowes this afternoon. My daughter will start her drive back to Washington, DC, this afternoon. We enjoyed her company and memories.
