The end is near

Yes I am almost done with school and I am starting to realize that in this industry you are never out of school. The amount of information concerning airplanes is so vast you are constantly learning something new because peoples lives are in your hands when you are flying or working on airplanes. Very intimidating and sobering. Well enough of the grim and serious. I have two jobs that I have sent resumes to: one in Ohio and the other in Wisconsin. Both are sheet metal modifications and would be very useful on the mission field. The Wisconsin job is more attractive because it is in Oshkosh (home of the worlds biggest airshow every year) and is sixty miles from Watertown. Dave and Steph go to school in Watertown. Plus the shop does DC-3's conversions. The old radials to turbines; the shop does all of the wing reconstruction for the conversion. Basically, a whole new wing. A DC-3 is a old plane that was used in the military for dropping cargo and para-troopers and in civilian life as a airliner. It is a great old plane with a ton of history. The other job is rebuilding Caravans; a plane that many mission agency's use but I don't know much more than that. I have heard of these jobs from individuals who are involved with the running of the school; so I have good references to get my foot in the door.



I my be going to the fair tomorrow to see my cousins 4-H projects and I will be hunting ground hogs all weekend. Its good practice for deer hunting: small targets at long distances. I may try the cannon this weekend, haven't decided yet.

I came to that same realization while working at McDonald's. Improperly cooked meat kills people every year, I would think.

Okay, I didn't really come to that realization. But I think I might pretty soon.
