So how are you guys doing?

So you guys know whats going on I have been incredibly busy getting ready for the baby to arrive, working on some more flight training and looking for a new job. Back in April right on my B-day the company announced that they were going to relocate my office to Spartanburg, SC. So that means I have been working on trying to find something new again just as I got in the job I love with great flexibility in the hours to let me fly when I want.

The baby (Shane) is due around August 1 and I will post pictures of the little guy as soon as possible. Yes I have already picked up his first Camo and have begun working to find him his first 22 anyone know where I can find a cheap cricket single shot. If I can't find one of those he is getting a Marlin and I will cut the stock and buy a second stock for when he is older.

some of you will like the photo I attached I went out and took some acrobatic lessons in a Pitts S2B in May when Morgan was here and it was great. I even sent Morgan up and he had a ball at it too. I am taxiing the plane out (dscn1034.jpg) and if you look in the second picture (download and zoom in) that is Morgan flying the loop(dscn1039.jpg).

How have all of you been doing?

Congrats. Shaun! Good to hear from ya again, I was just wondering where you'd been. Good luck on the job hunt!

Beer Forever · 06-15-2007, 06:05 PM

Stay in touch and let us know how everything pans out.

troy2000 · 06-15-2007, 10:27 PM

Glad you checked in, Shaun. When are you coming back on a regular basis, so you can get back to trying to keep my liberal butt in line?

Shaun · 06-16-2007, 12:26 AM

Oh troy don't get me started I have enough stress in my life -- hopefully very soon I will be more active as things start to settle down

Rufus Rhastus J · 06-19-2007, 08:42 AM

Glad you could up date us on the progress of things! Actually, Troy has been good. Don't let him upset you!

Congrats on the baby and flying and good luck with the job search. Why not move to South Carolina?

Shaun · 06-19-2007, 09:02 PM

Dallas moving to SC could cost me as much as 130K a year -- I would loose the wifes income (she is 1 step from CEO) then I would loose my side teaching income, and then I would have a state income tax and the dreaded personal property taxes with $1000 a year per car and up to 4K a year on the plane. I refuse to live in a communist state like PRK again with thier punitive tax system designed to redistribute my income to those who choose to live off social programs.

Shaun...good to see you checking in again...even though you've got some things work through. Life's a beech sometimes. But...you're young, bright, and ambitious so you'll land head up with something even better than what you left.

BattleRifleG3 · 07-03-2007, 11:56 AM

Congrats on the baby! Not sure if I knew that already. I've been away for a bit too.

Rufus Rhastus J · 07-04-2007, 10:34 AM

Glad things are still under control. Hope you have a great 4Th.!
