Its been a long time...

Man what a trip, spent the majority of last week visiting various sites under the companies umbrella. Meeting the people, seeing the towns, and doing the help calls, it was a really busy week and if you add on the driving time it makes it that much longer. Probably the coolest part was the trip to Grande Prairie and back, we took the company plane. Now this might not be a big deal to a lot of people, but it was my first trip on a plane ever and it was very sweet. I was lucky enough to get to sit in the co-pilot seat on the way back. Awesome view and I enjoyed every minute of it, it is the best way to travel.

The plane itself was a twin engine 6 passenger plane, nothing super fancy but it was nice.

Over the weekend I managed to start painting my R/C truck body that I purchased in the fall, The final coats went on last night and it looks really good. I am surprised at how well it turned out. Of course before even starting on that I practised on a couple Pepsi bottles that I cut in half since the bottle plastic is close to the body of the truck. I managed to find this chrome sticker that can be used on R/C plane wings and cut pieces to fit various parts on the body to add that little extra. So the door handles, bumper, and hood latches are chromed out. I will take a picture once I put the stickers on it for the various lights and such.

I cant wait until the spring gets here and I will be able to run my R/C truck again, its going to be a blast :D

That. Sounds. AWESOME!!! I've flown lots but never been in the cabin... that would have been rad! Plus it's 10x more enjoyable when the company pays for the flight :)

Let me know when you get that sucker for a weekend and we'll fly to vegas!
