Tobin and Erin

I had no idea, but Tobin double-turned again today! He also had a quiz. If he doesn’t need any extra practice flying, he will just have two flights left, the 605 on Friday and the check ride on Monday! I am SO excited! I wasn’t expecting to hear that he had flown twice today, but I am so glad he did.

Work is going well, and I am staying busy. This weekend, I was dragged into filling in for someone at our company games, so I will be at least piloting a raft on Saturday. I was also supposed to swim for the lady who can’t be there, but I told them I would drown, so hopefully I don’t have to do that.

Our company has both 6Sigma green belts and black belts, and I am going throught the green belt training. It’s manufacturing lean stuff, not office lean stuff, in my case. I am manufacturing support, so for my project I will be working on reducing scrap (we manufacture membrane, so the rolls produce a lot of scrap…it’s my job to figure out how to reduce that scrap for a specific belt/process).

How’s that weather up north? Are you still getting summer-warm temps? We’re definitely in the 80’s still, but occasionally it cools down to the 50’s at night. Hoepfully, T and I will still have a few visits to the beach left when he gets back. Later!

Tobin did fly twice today. The second flight was another solo! He did well on both flights. We think he just has one flight tomorrow…but that means just five flights left in all, including the check ride. I’m hoping for at least one more double-turn, so that he gets done by Tuesday of next week. The weather looks ok out there, as long as the wind stays down. Another group came in a couple of days ago, so hopefully that will be good for expediting T’s group’s flights.

As for me, I’m in 6Sigma green belt training all week for work, trying to fit in my other projects around that training. It’s interesting, and I’m glad to be staying busy.

There’s your quick update! Let me know how you all are doing.
