Relaxing Fathers Day / Belated Birthday Weekend!

I didn't spend much time studying or thinking about studying on Friday or today.  But I did spend alot of quality time with my family.  Friday,  Dale and I took my nephew Austin to Magic Mountain, it had been years since I had ridden a roller coaster.  After Magic Mountain, Dale and I headed to my parents house to start Fathers Day / Belated Birthday weekend for our Dad.  The car ride over was great, I got hear how Dale clawed his way up the corporate pilot ladder, and all the great planes he'd flown. Amazing career, filled full of great general aviation aircraft.  I'm blessed to have Dale as a great resource within the family for career advice and guidance.   Dale's buddy John ( a CFII) joined my parents, Dale and I as we settled in at the local watering hole, Firestone Brewey.. after the pub the evening was down hill from there.  Aviation tales, airplane stories and everything else imaginable were covered as we chatted til late in the evening over beers!  I learned alot from Dale and John, and I think my parents learned alot as well. 
Saturday Morning was spent taking Dad to a trap range for his belated birthday present.   Dad had never shot skeet before, so we had to correct that.  The day was fun, guys, guns and a great lunch afterwards.  

till later!
