The mission load has slowed down already. One of our biggest concerns coming over here was our maintenance being able to keep up with the mission load – I wasn’t anticipating the opposite problem this early. It is so much better to stay busy – time goes by faster and it gives you something to focus on. We are still trying to get the flight schedule worked out. I was shifting back and forth between days and nights but it looks like I am solidly on nights for awhile. I think it will work out pretty good with Jackie and Brian doing test flights in the day then I will be available on my nights off if it is critical to do a test flight at night. I will have to go to days sometime before the end of the month to give Jackie his check ride. Every evening I have been working on the internet stuff. We have all the lines run for both systems. Now it is a matter of getting all the lines pulled into the rooms, ends put on and all the switches hooked up. I got the first system reactivated so once Tony figures everything out we should be up an running. I haven’t been able to talk to Wendi much at all – I sure miss hearing her voice. I did get all the photos that I enlarged to hang on my walls. Now I am just waiting on the magnets to hold them up.
