I finally got around to it and took a tandem introduction ride last summer! It was great! The flight company I went with was a little disorganized, and I ended up doing a lot of standing around waiting for them to get organized, which was a little bothersome, and the ride up to the Launch site was kind of weird, (20 people crammed into the back of an old truck!). But once we got to the launch site, my training pilot was great, explained everything very well, it was a great flight and he even let me steer for a bit.
Very fun, and I’d like to go again/more often, but the training and flying is a little time-consuming and weather dependent, and there’s just not enough time to do everything!

I don’t weigh myself a lot, but when I added this goal I’d been at a gym and hit 208 on their scale. Last week I was at a gym and stepped on the scale and was 190. Lots of my friends have commented over the last couple months that I’ve lost some weight. Its nice to hear, and its good to lose some weight, but unfortunately its been on the stress diet. I’ve had some bad stuff happen in the last couple months, and have been worried and upset a lot, and don’t eat. I guess there’s a good side to everything, losing weight is good, its probably good for my blood pressure, I just wished I’d done it a different way.

I’ve done a couple solo vacations, a month in England, Ireland and Scotland, and a week long ski vacation in Innsbruck Austria, and a couple camping trips in Glacier Park in Montana. The freedom is great, go where you want, see and do what you want. They both were vacations that I’d been wanting to do for a long time, but couldn’t get any friends or relatives to go with me so I decided to go on my own.
