long weeks

Well this week was a long one - I ended up flying tues, wed, thurs to take me right into my navigation 2-check. The 2-check is where we fly our final flight before our checkride where one of our IP's essentially allows us to go to our check ride. Tuesday in particular was a long one, I had to show up early for a formal brief, then we had a class on low level stuff which would have been more helpful before we started flying them, then we took an emergency procedures quiz and did a stand up EP before I flew around 2pm aye.

The flights all went well enough, I did a bunch of approaches on my flights tuesday and wednesday, then did a low level on thursday. Right now I'm scheduled to do my 2-check on Tuesday then have a day to plan on Wednesday and do my Navigation checkride on Thursday. Hopefully everything goes well and I'll be into the downhill portion of flying the T-1 as things tend to get easier the last month and a half. 

Last weekend I stuck around Del Rio and played some golf Fri and Sat and cooked some food for dinner with my buddy blake on sat night. 

I had one of my greatest golf shots this weekend. On the 2nd hole, a 450 yard par 4 on Saturday I had a crappy tee shot leaving me with 231 yards to get to the hole (there happened to be a marker right near my ball). I hit a 3-wood and the ball landed just short of the green and rolled right up and into the hole. A nice eagle! and my first on a par-4. 

I'll be studying a lot this weekend and probably playing a little golf or watching some of the US Open, then next weekend I'll be heading out to College Station to pick up Megan and possibly floating the guadalupe river in New Bruanfels where my buddy Austin who has been down in Corpus Christi flying c-12's with the navy will be heading up there on Saturday. That should be fun and we'll probably stay in San Antonio that night and come back Sunday, then the next weekend is a 4-day weekend for July 4th which will be very nice!
