Jetsetting:
- Tues + Wed - boring
- Thurs was very bumpy in the morning. Went to RUT in the afternoon and the winds finally calmed down! Whew
- Fri was beautiful. Also found out I will be getting a new RKD pilot as the other one is running for the Caribbean!!
- Nasty weather tomorrow... not sure what that is going to hold! short work week for me and a long weekend after! :) I love it! I'm so glad that the other pilot was flexible and we were able to work with each other and be flexible in our schedules... it really makes being in an out station easier, since there are only two of us in these small stations.
- Sushi with my Honey last night. He is gone for the week for work. Flt was out of AUG and DFW flight was cancelled and I got it all fixed almost before he even landed in BOS! I love understanding this industry and having people on my side that can help me!
- SPA in 2 weeks, CJ Kopec retreat in May, KITM in Nov, Maybe Rhinebeck... if weather is great, might do a day trip in Wendy.

- RJ QT's - www.barnontheweb.com
- You have to go check him and his family out at their website.
- We are going to help each other out. I am trying to have the most people knit snuggles for the FAL/KAL that Sadie is doing(and beat Heather), He is trying to make his yarn products better and needs feedback. So here is our plan. You need to note the secret code that was on the screen(not gonna give it to you here!) and go to my rav group and give RJ some general feedback about what you like in blends and what you don't like. It doesn't have to be super specific(RJ's words, not mine) but he wants to make his products better. He has a CSAA, and shares sell out quickly when they are available. He rescues animals that being sold to slaughter and makes them part of his herd! It is a smallish herd right now, but is always growing!
- You also need to take that code and go to his blog (^above) and leave a comment in the blog to win the prize... what is the prize!?!?! You need to go read his blog... but it is pretty and fibery and delicious! GO LOOK!! RIGHT NOW!
- My T-shirt rules!
