I was lucky enough to attend the WWE event tonight and had lots of fun with my brother. After the show, I knew the WWE jet was going to be taking off and I heard a 747-8 was going to be there as well. The 747-8 was cancelled, and Boeing brung in a Boeing 787 for a flight into Rockford! So, I got to video a VERY RARE sight! The WWE Private Jet and also a Boeing 787 at the same time! Talk about a good night. Attending the WWE event and then seeing their private jet and a 787 at the same time. An awesome night in deed!
Well the funeral went well, as well as a funeral could go I should say. Met some of my wifes family that I never met before. But I can say, I really felt underdressed. They were all super well dressed. I do not own a suit, so I had to wear a dark shirt and dark pants. Everyone else was in suits. Talk about an akward moment, lol. But it was all good, cuz they were all nice. I got to talk a bit to my wifes cousin, who is a pilot for Southern Air, he is a pilot of a Boeing 777 and flies Internationally. Kinda weird talking aviation during a funeral, but was still an awesome conversation. He even gave me a photo of him inside the engine, the photo was taken from the cockpit looking back into the engine. And his arms were spread out, and he was unable to reach the outer parts of the engine. Really neat photo.
I went for a hike today at Rock Cut, enjoyed some time to myself. The weather was nice, so I decided to go for a hike. It was fun, did my 365 photo for the day as well. But I wasn’t thinking, and forgot when theres warmth, theres melting. So, it was a muddy and wet hike. But still a fun one. I got to get out for some fresh air, get some exersize, and see nature once again. Its been awhile. I can say, things do look bare and blah, during the winter. No leaves on the trees, hardly any wildlife, and really quiet in the forest. A whole new experience from hiking during the summer times.
Its been a rough week for everyone, so i haven’t did much with my websites. But now everything is done, I can refocus back on my websites. I made the forum on Rockford Scanner public now. I did have chat rooms, but decided to hold off on those awhile. And just stick with the forum to see how that goes. My admin Alex, made the news. He was able to capture on his cell phone, video of a robbery suspect chase, and was able to video the capture of him. Below is the video, Way to go Alex! And Thanks to the local media outlets that showed the video.
So we got some snow, some decent snow. Around 7 inches or so. It is nice to see, but really fucking sucks having to shovel it! I didn’t mind too much, because it was the light fluffy snow. But the shitty part was, when they plowed my road and all the wet and heavy snow they piled up at the end of my fucking driveway! That sucked! Nothing like shoveling the driveway all nice and clean, just to have a damn city plow come put a lot of heavy snow at the end of my driveway.
As you all know I am a huge aviation fan, I play Flight Simulator X alot as well! Well this morning, I did a flight from S. Carolina to Atlanta. I was flying the CRJ-900. The weather was very poor, I had a strong crosswind and the ceiling was very low. So, as I am approaching KATL, I noticed I wasn’t lined up to the runway, my GPS was off a bit. So I had to make a last minute change to line up with the runway. As I am getting ready to land, an airplane that was holding short, decided to go onto the runway as I am landing! So, I had to make a last second move to avoid colliding with the plane! When, I did that, I made a hard landing on the runway! It has been my worst landing to date, LOL. I should have went around, but I didn’t have enough throttle to take back off, so i had no choice, but to land. Please watch the video, and enjoy. Feel free to make fun of me if ya like ;p
