Highlights: helping RACs & practicing nomenclature drills, working on installing new closets, Keita’s birthday party

With a little time to kill around the squadron, I was able to help a couple more Lieutenants practice pre-flighting the aircraft. It’s a good time to practice nomenclature drills & systems limitations too. There are hundreds of little gadgets, boxes, levers, signal conditioners, etc throughout the aircraft; they all have different names. Whew! knowing what they do is most important, but you have to remember what to call them.

At home, i took apart the remaining old closets in 2 bedrooms. Getting the old out, so I can sand & smooth the walls, paint them, and then install the new closets… is a project that takes some time. The closet system I bought yesterday is laying on the floor downstairs until I get the wall surfaces ready.

Another old roommate & friend, Keita, was celebrating her birthday with a house party in Solana Beach. I got to meet her cool new roomies & friends as well. Their house is gorgeous! Mere blocks from the ocean, you can see the water from their balcony. The kitchen was the most impressive room in the house. It’s feeding me a lot of ideas about how to change my kitchen around! Ha ha (= dreaming out loud. Anyways- happy birthday Keita!
