Well, I'm settled in my new interim job at Lowe's while I wait for my FOL. This store is quite a bit different than my last one. While the general knowledge of my department and corporate policy is still relevant, the environment at this store is way different. Not in a bad way, but I'm just not as comfortable here, yet. That's too be expected, I suppose.

Nothing new on the ATC front. I did e-mail my HR rep to update my address with him, but got the 'out of office' autoreply e-mail....

I drove all the way out there from Scottsdale just to see if I can get on the property and look at the planes....I was denied? I can see you were outside as well. How does one gain access?

This one was a little disappointing due to the weather and someone who flew over our airport while we were on our takeoff roll and did not make any call on the frequency.

Some people from Pubnat 5/6 have started getting notices that they need 'further evaluation' based on their MMPI scores. I've...

I flew last week, but was not able to post, so don't worry about it. I just practiced stalls and slow flight.

Today was a good day to fly with scattered clouds at 2,700 feet with some breaks higher for what we were going to do today. I had a chance to go over the stalls before the flight and we went over what were going to do today. We flew to the south and practiced slow flight and then stalls.
