WOW

So much has happened in the last week and a half I really don't know where to start telling about it all.

Flew out to Denver on the 3rd and went to my first MLB game ever with Alex and David. The Rockies creamed the Mets, and when it was all over we got to go down on the field to watch fireworks. Very cool! The grass was so amazing. Alex and I took off our shoes and ran all the way across the outfield. I got to bed at about one and got up at four to drive to the base of Mount Harvard with Andrew. We then proceeded to hike up the third tallest mountain in Colorado (14,420') on only three hours of sleep. Gorgeous hike. DON'T do it on three hours of sleep. Unless that is the only way you can do it.

Took a bunch of pictures of the hike and got to try out my fireworks function at the game. It works pretty well. Hopefully I can post some of my better pictures when I get to a computer that is owned by someone I know.

I caught up on my sleep on the fifth and started flying the sim on the sixth. The sim was fun. A LOT of work to get a good feel for, but still fun. We (Jared and I) were in it for about four hours every day till yesterday. We had our checkride yesterday and we both passed very nicely. Then we ran to his car and took off for the airport. We missed a 2:55 flight to Billings by 20 minutes, and the 5:15 flight was full, but we sat around and finally caught the 9:45 in and got to our Inn at about 11:45 last night. We should start flight training in the real plane today sometime!

Got all my email read, but haven't had time to respond to any of it yet, so if you are waiting for something it might take me a few more days to get all caught up.
