October.  It has been almost a full month - where has it gone?  I haven’t been flying so much lately... I’ve had a lot of reserve, which I hate, as I can neither fly nor climb mountains.  Ngungun doesn’t count, as it is small and boring, and I do climb it on reserve as it would give me time to run back down and get to the airport within 2 hours.  My days off I try to pack with mountains.

Here is last night’s sunset on top of Tibro.

I am, in fact, on reserve right now.  So far I have walked the dog - who is lying with her nose about 1cm from my ear, huffing at the lack of attention I am giving her.

She has a new hat.

Ok, well, I have a new hat.  My new friend in Caboolture (C’s friend) is rebuilding a DC3.

I am going to help.  It needs a lot of work, and in my opinion will take both a lot of time and a lot of money, but D is very enthusiastic so off we go!

And maybe one day I can fly it...

Also, in October news, I got stuck on the highway in a completely mental hailstorm.  Thankfully my car has just one small dent on it, which for now I am not going to have fixed.  ($160 says no). It was quite scary sitting in the car on the side of the highway hearing and seeing the hail thundering down on me.

I also assembled a wooden spitfire and painted it with invasion stripes.  It was time consuming but a lot of fun.

It isn’t quite finished, but getting there!

I also reached six months in the new job!  I am absolutely loving it (except for reserve) and can’t wait to see what is next.  Well... sim is next, I’m not looking forward to that (Nov 22&23).  I guess I gotta do what I just gotta do!
