Stacy receiving her successful completion paperwork. I'm VERY proud of her!!
Below getting congrats from several of her instructors
Okay then..... Well I'll need to practice a bit more with adding multiple photos to the blog. Been working with it for a while now and can't figure how to move them around to add the text. Anyway, the two above show the flags indicating the 'gentle breezes' that seem to blow often in that area. And then the stage just before the graduation.
Above is the graduation group marching in.Below and a little into the graduation ceremony, the successful grads are being duly sworn in as newly 'minted' J.P.O.'s for the state of Idaho and their respective counties and cities.
Now that it's over, Stacy was told of rumors that it is just too much information to continue to cram into a two week program. So next year it might be a three or four week course. But as I said, shes done!
For me, well its spring break! So I have a week off also. The weather is starting to warm, its a breezy 46 outside now and supposed to be in the mid 50's by Sunday. Still a lot of snow on our property though, and its still getting down near 20 at night. If the good weather holds I'm scheduled to go flying tomorrow morning. I've been flying since I was 15, but I think it's just about priced me out. Up to right at $100.00 per hour for a Cessna Skyhawk. I used to pay less then that for a 6 place Cherokee 6. That was the most expensive plane I'd ever rented while getting my high performance checkout. And while I would have loved to have flown myself to Boise, there's just no way at that per hour cost. The airline flight was $120.00 for 1 hour. A Cessna 172 would have been at least 3 hours round trip IF they had another rental available, which they don't. Only one rental so they're a little reluctant to rent on long flights.
Oh well, a few hours a year for a while is still fun.
Guess that'll do it for this installment. Type to all later, Tad
