I had the pleasure of taking up the spouse of one of my coworkers for her birthday today. She didn’t know about the flight until they arrived at the airport. What a neat surprise! We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to fly today because it was quite cloudy. It cleared up a fair bit by 1:00 and the flight was on. It was fairly windy though. We headed over Niagara Falls – she grabbed some great pics:


Marineland:

We then went over to Fort Erie. I just wish it was a smoother flight. Lots of cute little fluffy clouds overhead so it made it quite choppy.
Here’s the Fort Erie Race Track:

Quite a bit smoother back in St. Catharines.
Heading back in to land:

It was a great flight. I’m thrilled to know she wants to go back up with me again. Perhaps even try some aerobatics!
Jan came over yesterday and we had our girls night, which we’ve had to reschedule for the last few months now. My fault – I’ve been sick a lot lately. So glad we finally got to have it though. We ordered Chinese food, watched our 1200 Britain photos I put on a DVD as a slide show, a Jeff Dunham video, then some episodes of Hardcore Pawn. It was a really fun night.
I’m looking forward to my long weekend. I decided to take Monday off, as I seem to still be hoarding my vacation leave at work. Really hoping for decent weather so I can go up for another flight. An aerobatic session would be quite nice.
After doing this blog entry, my cats are going to hate me. They all need a bath as they’re getting a tad greasy. I think they already know what’s coming because two of the goobers are hiding. I still haven’t figured out who hates baths the most.
Pinky growls:

Abby lets out tiny little squeaks:

Boo squirms constantly then growls and hisses while I’m drying her:

Mya screams like crazy:

Yup, this is going to be fun. Not!
Today’s symptoms: Feeling quite good! My energy level is decent and the sharp pains in my arms and hands aren’t nearly as bad today. Hope this continues for the rest of the weekend. The rest of my life would be nice too!
