The Good Dealers in Austin
Safe and sound in Austin along with the Goose and Vik. Myself, Goose and his wife Katie have arrived at the Diatschenko’s in Austin. Vik’s wife Anita and Katie went to the outlet mall so Vik, goose and I went out to smell the flowers.
Then we had a beer at Chili’s on the river.
Nice view from the patio.
The sign on the bridge calls this the Colorado River but it flows to the Gulf
The agenda includes A ball game and a cruise on the river in Austin to check out the bats living in the Capital Bridge.
Weather is cooperating.
So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
