Life Comes at You Fast.

Sometimes so many things start happening that you get caught up in the excitement.  I am really enjoying just living life in the last three weeks I have here.


Firstly:  Two new pods came.  These pods will be used in our GVT (ground vibration testing) on the PC-6 as well as be put into service in Indonesia. For the past week I have been drilling, riveting, and assembling these babies and I have callouses on my hands to prove it. They don't look like they would take to long to get them ready but it is deceiving.  All the doors had to be hinged and hung.  The latches had to be installed and holes had to be drilled in the fiberglass for every rivet and latch.

Secondly:  The Kodiak left for Moundridge, KS.  In Kansas it will be fitted with a ferry system and head straight to PNG from there.  I really considered stowing away and enjoying a weekend at home but couldn't figure out how to get back to NC.  It would be a little unexpected to end up in PNG.
