A new week, a new start!

This weekend gone was pretty hectic. I’m not entirely sure if I mentioned it before but I was living in two places split according to days of the week.

Mon to Fri I was living in a little place in Midrand right next to Grand Central Airport where I was doing all my ground school studies due to convenience and lack of traffic issues. Sat and Sun I was staying at my mate G in Randpark Ridge.

Now that school is over there is no longer any point to stay out there so this weekend I moved everything back to my mate which is where I am now. Not only is it a much nicer, more homely place, it is also very kewl to be staying back with a great mate. Someone to talk shit with and have a laugh and joke! I’m gonna miss him when I leave for Port Elizabeth.

We also went to visit the most spectacular aircraft I have ever had the fortune of sitting in. The Cessna Citation CJ3. I know the pilot personally and since Rocky (who is also an enthusiast) was in town I called the pilot up and asked if he wouldn’t mind a bit of a show. He happily obliged! So Rocky, G and I rushed over on Saturday. Oh my God, what an incredible machine! Besides the obvious amazing beauty and other spectacular brilliance, it also has an operational ceiling (max height) of 45000ft where most large airlines struggle to climb over 35000ft. That’s just massive KEWL factor! Cheers A.T!

Take a look and see what I mean! Gives me goosebumps!

This week now is all about studying. I might leave the house to go get some milk and bread (by that I mean pig out on takeaways) but besides that my head will be stuck in the books. Feel free to pop in and distract me with a comment or a phone call (if you have the number since I’m not about to advertise it). You can also make use of the new MAIL ME button which some of you have already started doing. Thank’s for the funnies and even bigger thanks for the photos! You know the ones I’m talking about! 8) Some I can’t put up for obvious reasons but the others I will try and build into something as soon as I get a chance! Either way keep it/them coming!

Now to open the book and hmmmm ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz
