This Weekend

 

Dinner! Beef and chicken off of the grill w/ pizza

So this weekend is FINALLY coming to an end and I cannot wait for this week to get over with. I just want to get a job,get a loan, and get college over with! Not to mention I still need to take the GED and that could be up to a year away thanks to the waiting list! Quick post up here to remind me of what various events transpired this weekend. Here are some pics as well as the video above.

My Homemade Flight Yoke

Friday's Storm

Gotta love these pants...I don't look so fat in em!

Airline Pillow Fight!

What a Flight!

       So today I flew in N89464 and had to practice judgement. Took off with storms coming up our back door and when we got into the clear we were going to practice but the engine sputtered and shook violently and we decided to turn around and try to get back to Freeway. The weather wasn't as bad as forecast and as shown on radar so the only real reason to not practice landings and go-arounds was the engine. We flew in light chop and rain at about 1400MSL and landed without incident. The landing was typical of crosswinds;the wind kept trying to make us look bad by blowing us every which way possible. In flight I did very well with the controls and rudder and was smooth on the yoke. I was calm the entire time as well because I kind of wanted to see a real emergency landing in a field. There were plenty of choices for landing including two near by airstrips. Had a fun flight and I will be flying again on June 5th at 8 am!






For now, keep the white side up!

MET Sean D. Tucker!!!!!!!

Midday Update

GREAT day so far. Woke up early this morning to go get donuts thanks to Tiffany! She reminded me of their chocolatey goodness and when I got there at 7am they were out of double chocolate AND chocolate glazed (They actually only had jelly filled and bagels). So I bus fanned around Baltimore Ave. and walked from near IKEA down to UMCP and got some videos there. Got back on the bus and went to greenbelt. While on the bus this girl asked what I was taking a picture of ( I was filming the ride of course). So I told her what I was doing and she asked why, to which I replied with, "I don't know, I just love the sound of them and the way they drive and lean." She responded by saying, " Oh that's cool. It's like how people like fast cars and stuff then right?" I was sooooooo happy somebody else thought that and didn't think it is weird! So I told her "Yes but everybody thinks it's weird because it's 'just' a bus." She and I talked about random crap and we were going down paint branch and almost at College Park Metro when she said "Do you have a phone? Want my number,you can text me?" I said "UHHHHHhhhhhh OH yes I have a phone!" Got my phone out and took the number down :D Guess I dressed correctly! Wore my black jeans, black dockers, had a Black thin stripe (vertical) button down shirt, black and silver Polo watch, and a nice necklace on XD
