Not a bad day at work, this.. smile









In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Beautiful shot!


"For I know the plans that I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11

Indeed we call blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of the perseverance of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, because “the Lord is compassionate and merciful. James 5:11

If that's a view from his office.....I think we'd better tread lightly with this one.

What were you flying and what were you doing ?


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Just a 172. Flying with a student on a navigational exercise, we were in the area and had to pop by the Jotunheimen mountains. Then we flew east towards the Swedish border and visited the Trysil ski resort, which is what you see in the picture with the slopes on the mountain smile

Another pic from the same area yesterday. Just before sunset, and 20-30kt winds. You can see the snow blowing off the tops.

(This pic was taken at 9000ft smile )

I actually prefer my view from the office, which is an actual downtown office building with a corner view office that allows me to view hoards of young attractive women jogging in their form-fitting Lululemon attire during their lunch breaks. wink

Beautiful, thanks. Do you ever have the urge of bringing a boombox along for the ride and sticking that music on, cranking up the volume as you fly over the landscape...?



...of course, playing music in the cockpit is probably a huge "no no"...? "officially" anyway... but still... wink
