Mt. Baldy and Grand Lake |
I've been buried with "Applied Statistics" homework the last week so I havent done much airplane work....just a short 1.5 hr session last night. Schoolwork takes precedent over airplane work so the project has to wait.
My friend EJ (from the recent Cabela's trip post) invited me up to his cabin near Grand Lake, CO for a weekend of snowmobiling. Believe it or not, I was torn between accepting the invitation or politely declining. I have been really anxious to get that ER tank done as I am soooo close to sealing it up. On top of the fact the weather is supposed to warm to near 60 degs F this weekend, which will be so refreshing after our record setting cold lately. I am certainly ready for spring...and baseball season.
But, my philosophy during the build is this: as hard as it sometimes is to do...I try to maintain balance in my life. "All airplane--all the time" is too much for me and I'll get burned out, I just know myself. Consequently, I strive to keep the rest of my life intact (...kinda, sorta). That includes maintaining my gym workouts and excercise routine--definitely cant neglect my health so I can maintain quality of living and keep flying long into my later years hopefully. :) Social life...schoolwork...career...family, etc, you get the idea, they all have their place and are important.
So, when someone generously offers you a weekend of snowmobiling in the beautiful Rocky Mountains, you wholeheartedly say "yes!" even though you have to leave your "aluminum mistress" to do it. She'll be wating for me when I get back. ;) Have a good weekend and KPR!
