John’s Solo Cross Country Flight
Dec 26th
I’m a little behind on getting the news posted. It was a crazy couple weeks at work.
John did his first solo cross country flight. I met him at Carroll County airport (in Carroll county). It took me about 1 and a half hours to get there and drove about 76 miles. John only needed 45 minutes to get there and he was flying out of Burke in downtown Cleveland. John’s instructor was right, the “on base” restaurant servers great pie (the burger was great too). John let me borrow his hand-held scanner. I was able to use that to listen for John’s announcements for landing. The landing and take off looked great.

Class Notes Back Online
Dec 5th
I added back all of my class notes. I also included the last couple classes at Tri-C. The notes are as is, with spelling and grammar mistakes and all.
B Spot
Nov 29th
Olessia and I tried B Spot. It is right to the point. Burgers. Brats. Beer. Olessia and I tried the burgers. Pretty tasty. The shakes are bad ass as advertised on the menu. I would highly recommend checking it out… Just plan a head, the wait can be kind of long.

Two Airshows in Two Weeks
Sep 6th
Went to the MAKS 2009 Russian Air Show two weeks ago. That was AWESOME! Lots of aircraft there that I will not see in the states any time soon. The airshow grounds are huge and can take quite some time to walk around. The performances were back-to-back too so there was always something in the sky to watch.
MAKS 2009 Air Show
Yesterday, friends and I wen to the Cleveland Air Show. It was good. It was much smaller than the Russian show and dare I say, maybe smaller than I remember seeing at previous Cleveland air shows. The performances were great. I hadn’t seen in quite some time the F-15 demo, Harrier demo, and the Thunderbirds. To top it all off, my friend got us on to the tarmac where they keep the performance show aircraft. That was awesome.

Vonage
Sep 6th
It has been about a week or so on Vonage and so far it has been awesome!
Once the gadget came in the mail (took about 3 days), I had it plugged in and set in about an hour (including the time it took to unplug the land line). I wanted to have Vonage enabled at all the jacks in the house so I was able to follow a pretty easy tutorial online. My router handles a lot of stuff and I wanted the Vonage gadget behind it and that is working great too. I had a slight hiccup with the security system, but a phone call with the security company and I found I needed to swap 4 wires (took 30 seconds or so). Pretty easy!
Olessia has been able to call Russia at no charge (on the World plan). Plus we can call almost anywhere at no charge. We get just about all the phone features you can think of and at the same price I was paying for a basic land line. So no land line for us now!
Ok, so now for the ad: click and sign up and you get 2 months free as do I! For me, that was a $50 savings! (Saved my friend some money too!)
