It is getting more like fall to winter now in our area.
All the weather forecasts give the possible snow levels and altitudes in the recordings. The temps have been in the low 50's for the past week which is the normal temp range. It has warmed up at night to the low thirties from the low twenties of last week and earlier this week. Next week it's forecasting only low to mid forties! For the high temps! In looking at photos and the older blogs, last October 27th, 2009, was the first snow of the season back then. Will it snow around the same time this year?
Stacy and I are both off work next week because our daughter Laura and her son, the only grand kid so far, will be flying out this Sunday for a weeks visit. Stacy and I are really looking forward to the visit. Last time Laura was here was in the summer of 2006 for a couple of weeks. Quite a lot has changed in her little family since then! And Tyler is 4 years old now so he might do more than sleep or cry as he did last visit!
Oldest Daughter Sandy and her husband will be flying up next Friday for the weekend than they all fly back on Halloween day. Then Sandy is looking at on her return home, turning around and flying to India for the project her firm has been working on for over a year. Then get back and fly out to New Mexico for a long weekend with her husband for his birthday. Of course it was all set up before the possibility of India!
Son Sean called today with the biggest news lately. He had been telling me in the past few months that his contract was to expire, possibly next year, and he was checking into other options within the company he works for or in the civilian aviation market. At just turning 27 last week, he has been a line supervisor for over three of years now and has been doing exemplary work for his company. He's proud of his work, dealing with multimillion dollar aircraft. The aircraft they've been working on, the CH-46 Vietnam era twin rotor cargo/passenger helicopter, is being phased out of military use due to age. So that was why he'd been concerned of what would be next in his life.
In his call earlier today he was excited but nervous, because he was offered the new job with his company working in Hawaii! New aircraft too, the still used and in no danger of being phased out, CH-53. He told me a couple of weeks ago about the job but he never thought he'd get the chance. Only catch, he has to decide and be moved over to Hawaii by November 15! Not much time which was why he was nervous. He told his boss he'd have the yes or no to the job offer by next Monday, but already knows it will be yes. We all agree it is an opportunity too good to pass up! He stays with his company and would be a permanent position there, no four or five year contract then. He also would have the possibility of taking a term of work service overseas. He likes that idea a lot as with all the pay incentives and bonuses for doing that translates into lots of zeros added to his pay, and he'd still go back and work/live in Hawaii afterwords.
The time change on November 6th/7th, is going to be good! It is so hard getting up now at 6 am when it's now pitch dark until after 7 am! In dead o' summer, when it's light at 3:30 am it can be hard to sleep in but I think dark so late is more difficult.
Guess that's it till next time! Tad
