Mumble mumble....

Went gliding this weekend; my first flight as a Civillian Instructor; oddly enough there were absolutely no cadets on the flightline that day. This worked out well for me; it resulted in me getting the eight additional flights required to get me qualified for rearseat flying, plus I got to go to a fun gathering afterwards with some of the officers. I wore my civvies and leather jacket (1970's brown leather given to me by my uncle); and my jacket was subsequently declared my "pimp jacket".... which lead me to the question: is a fuzzy hat with a peacock feather considered appropriate flight headgear?

For reasons unclear to me; in the last week or so I've been approached at least a half dozen times by grade nine girls who want to say hi; I chalk this up to one of two things: springtime or aliens; personally I'm leaning towards "aliens" it makes more sense to me.

Now for a piece of random explanation of my E-mail address CRATCDT_Mountie@hotmail.com. I got this e-mail address back when I was still a cadet and taking my instructor's course about three or four years ago. CRATCDT is the Central Region Advanced Training Cadet Drill Team; the elite drill team which I was oh so proud to have been part of at the time (it was actually very demanding for me; I was busy with multiple things that summer). The "Mountie" part referes to the character of Constable Benton Fraiser on the show Due South; the perpetually polite and well groomed RCMP officer. Apparently I was similar to this guy because a couple of people kept calling me Mountie over the summer; the name only briefly stuck and didn't even last out the entire summer but I was stuck for E-mail address ideas.


Yes, I know that most of these posts are incoherent, don't make sense, ramble on and are generally uninteresting but that's of little concern to me; I censor my writting before posting, but rarely edit.




Cheers,
