FINALLY!

i finally did my cc solo today!  after 3 times having to re-schedule it, janine nunes calls me this morning basically saying," get your butt up here, the weather should hold til 2pm!!!" so i jump out of bed, into the shower and zooooom over to summit.  my flight plan was already made but it toko me about an hours worth of recalculating for the current day's winds aloft to get it ready for my flight.  after that, i got into the plane and took off...i haven't flown in over a week so it felt weird to be flying and it felt especially weird to be flying without an instructor.  

i'm finishing up stage III tonight with three more landings, that's all i require for my night stuff--there was a huge SNAFU the night i flew with Dugan where the airport closed early to have the runway painted and neither one of us was aware of it.  they were waiting for us to get in and luckily had not started painting or we would have been stuck at three forks airport waiting on dugna's wife to get out of bed and come pick us up.  anyway, so i didn't get to do my landings that night but will finish them up tonight!

i left out vegas details AGAIN! there was this bum selling botled water out of a cooler between caesar's and the bellagio, i mean in the most half-hearted way a person could ever sell water and butch asked him, is there any alcohol in that water, and the guy replied, "all the alcohol you wish was in here is in here."  whatever that means.  i almost bought some though. 

so my face has been all broken out since i got to bozeman, like the worse it's ever been in my adult life, almost, which i'm not over a greasy grill so i don't get it, but i have been drinking a lot of coffee so i'm gonna lay off the coffee and just go to tea...it's cheaper and i think i like it more?

i went to the museum of the rockies yesterday afternoon--what a treat BUT i really think i shoulda gone in the morning bc my brain just works better in the AM.  they had a davinci exhibit and i'm really glad i went yesterday bc my rockford coffee house friend britnee harper whose bf is from alabama, told me this is the only place in the US getting the exhibit AND it is leaving in the next day or so.

alright, i'm going to research tattoo artists b/c the one i got introduced to yesterday hit me wrong.  she may have been having a bad day, i don't care...my gut says "no," and after the latest crap i went through, i am never doubting my gut feeling ever again...xo
