Hot-O-La!

We’re having yet another heat wave.  I see it’s supposed to last for the next week or so.  Blah!  Despite the high temps, Chuck and I flew non-stop to Welland last night.  It was a grueling 8 minute flight.  We were there for the Air Force Association social dinner.  I thought a bunch of people would have flown in, but it was just us.  It was cute when everyone waved to us as we taxied into our parking spot.  When we got out of the plane, the sweat was dripping off of us.  At least it was a little more tolerable in the shade of the hangar.  The dinner was great – food-wise and company-wise.  They even had dessert:

I am now a member of their association, which is kinda nice.  After our meal, we socialized for a bit, then had to head back to St. Catharines.  I had to be there by 8:00pm, so they could put my plane back in the hangar for the night.  It was so cute – when we announced that we had to be on our way, everyone got in formation and we all marched out to my plane for a proper send off.  They gathered around while we started up:

It was a quick flight home, just in time to shove little Vyctor back in the hangar for the night.

Weather-wise, it was even hotter today.  I visited with my mother, but stayed cool in the mall.  It seemed to be a different story back home.  Poor Pinky was hardly conscious from the heat.  Mind you, crawling under the pillow sham didn’t seem to help her cause:

This seems to be her favourite pose:

Her and her weird little sister decided to crawl into one of my shopping bags, after I emptied its contents:

Even the dude in the background is admiring their new digs.

Service endorsement:  I just had my wheel chocks powder-coated at Bird’s Performance Coatings in Port Colborne.  Wow, I was so impressed by their work!  I had spray painted them last year, but the paint has been chipping off.  What a mess.  These guys did an amazing job.  I wish I could have my entire plane powder-coated!  Probably wouldn’t work too well though, since they have to put the item in an oven.  I was able to show them off last night in Welland, to the Air Force Association folks.

Today’s symptoms:  Felt pretty good, despite the heat.  Most people with MS have an intolerance to heat – it has a tendency to suck all of our energy out of us and bring on some of our symptoms.  My hands and arms are aching, I have a bit of a headache, but that’s about it!
