Awful!

That would be the weather. Whiteout, blizzard blowing snow awful! Even though the hangar is heated, when the planes need to be moved in and out (several times a day), the hangar door needs to be completely opened and the cold blowing snowy air blasts into the shop! I stay huddled up in the warm office...but I don't think I took my under-jacket off today! (I say under-jacket, because I wear several layers---but my under-jacket used to be my standard coat in California).

I am learning how to update flight logs. This is very cool. You can't believe all the requirements, but if you fly, you're glad someone is minding their p's and q's. Of course, I am enjoying talking on the radio and listening to all the pilots talk.. "This is King Air One, N4330MikeVictor (or really it's N4330MV), we're 16 minutes out of Marshall with three on board..." I feel like I'm in a movie or something. And I love the guys I work with... and the sound of the different airplanes...

But the weather went from being borderline awful to awfully awful this week. My birthday (next week) has usually been a crap-shoot in that it might be rainy (and 50F degrees) or it might be sunny and crisp and cold (50F-60F degrees). But this year will be the first year that I'll be lucky to see 20 degrees. Ugh! I never could have possibly imagined how long winter really is. You all in California have NO IDEA how lucky you are to not have to deal with it.

And the blowing snow thing ---well it's just something I've only seen on TV. The weather forecast looks to remain awful for the next week or so. Good thing I didn't put away my snow shoes...Sigh.

Have a wonderful weekend! Love, Joni (the other working full time) Taylor
