The stars aligned for me last weekend and I was able to do a CCX (Cross Country) to Gainesville, FL. Normally students pick a destination a little farter away, but we felt that with the weather closing in from the West, it might be a good idea to stay close to home. Besides, I have seen Key West quite a few times. It worked out great because the A/C in our plane was being a little punk and it was hot as hell outside. 3 short legs and we were drinking beer at University Air in G-ville. Gainesville was awesome, and we had a great time. Stumbled into a frat house party, took a bunch of pictures we don't remember, and I woke up with a bashed leg that looks like I got hit with a bat. I toughed out the last few flights home and we returned on Sunday. I should have went to medical but I had 3 flights left in Primary and there was no way I was going to let them med down me for my leg and have to wait another week or two to finish. Last couple flights were actually pretty painful, but I played it off and got them done. Thanks Craig (DeGarmo) for taking me and they boys around and showing us a good time. Looking forward to doing it again. The most random and awesome thing happened in Tallahassee. I grew up with the Monson boys, Joe and Todd from the Keys. On Sunday I am parking the plane and who is my lineman? Todd Monson. Instead of giving him the normal "thumb up" sign, I threw him the bird. He cocked his head to the side a little and then I raised my visor. It was great to see you man, even if it was only for a gas-and-go. I can't believe I get paid to do this.
JR... out.
