IT'S OVER!

Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Powerplant O&P. Passed.

But that was a given. Seems that the examiner was evesdropping on all the discussion between Phil Nageldinger and self, getting prepared for the big event. He apparently used that as a major part of the O&P, I guess. It was amazingly simple. Scarily so, in fact.

However, it is done and over with and I can now get ON WITH MY LIFE.

At some point during my anxiety about jobs etc, I suddenly got calm and thought: Just take it a day at a time. Do what you need to do. Relax.

This time I listened!! I feel calm and focused. I have stuff to do at home and I will be doing it. The job thing will be there, and I can take it a step at a time. Like, a resume. I'll be working on that. And, thinking about Just What I Want To DO.

The Mesa possibility is hanging out there, dangling with tempting perks. But not something that fascinates me and makes me want to run out and get started. Turbines, commercial, BIG stuff.

What is so frustrating is that what I want doesn't seem to exist close by. Maybe not at all. Working on small aircraft, learning more about it all, doing restorations and getting paid enough to make it worth while. Most restoration is voluntary.

A thought: go to Old Rhinebeck, and also find a partime regular paying job, live at melanies, and get experience and miss Bill like crazy. One option, I guess.
