No pad yet

Here I sit for 2 hours in the Abilene Regional Airport. This part of the job sucks.

Wanted to try out the Ipad over the weekend. I had to work overnight Saturday. Sunday Kelli and I went to the Apple store in Southlake.....closed for Easter. Boo. Still not sure if I really want one. Don't need one.

Think we are close to a name. Thinkin' Natali....not a typo. Why? Well I like the name thanks to the witty, intelligent and nice on the eyes Natali Del Conte. She is a very popular tech reporter.... go here for more.

The plane  I fly will soon have a First Class section. Saw the very first plane today. New car smell. Pretty exciting.

My geeky buddy Kerry lent us a Doppler machine. Kelli can now listen to the heart beat whenever she wants...when she can find it that is.

Making progress in preparing for both my mother in law next month and Fluffy in August.

Today was a long day. Left the house at 5:15PM...might be back by 8PM. Was kinda fun...flew an empty airplane from Abilene to Dallas. Being empty means it acceleartes and climbs like a rocket...literally. Screw your 0-60 times. We went o-150MPH in under 12 seconds. I hand flew it from 1800 feet to 12000 feet....got there in under 3 minutes....better than a rollercoaster. My Captain flew the next empty plane back from Dallas to Abilene...we were even lighter...reached 17,000 feet in 4 minutes. Most of the time we climb at 2000 feet per minute with people on board. We easily doubled that.
