Flight Sim Adventure Part 1

Happy hump day everybody. Yesterday I spent my free time flight simming again. I decided to do a little adventuring around the midwest. First I took a flight from Champaign to Waukegan (because two of my roommates are from Waukegan).

KCMI (Unitversity of Illinois-Willard Airport):



















to KUGN (Waukegan Regional Airport):


















What a great flight! 144.2 nautical miles, it took me around an hour and a half because the ATC in flight sim likes to take you around your destination airport by far too much, so I think I'll stop using the in game ATC because the vectoring for approaches is horrible... unless that's what it is like in real life.

Weather in Champaign was great, flurries and a solid overcast sky. Flying far enough north though through the cloud deck and I punched out into blue sky with a few scattered clouds the rest of the way to Waukegan just in time for a sunset landing.

Next time I'll take some in game pictures for those intereseted. Next flight I think will be from Waukegan to the Milwaukee area and then onward to Door County.

Dangerous STD spread unnoticed in 2004

The Center for Disease Control in Atlanta has issued a warning about a new,
virulent strain of STD. The disease is contracted through dangerous, high
risk behavior. The disease is called Gonorrhoea Lectim and pronounced "
gonna re-elect him. " Many victims contracted it in 2004 after having been
screwed for the past four years. Cognitive characteristics of infected
individuals include: Anti-social personality disorders, delusions of
grandeur with messianic overtones, extreme cognitive disonance, inability to
process new information, pronounced xenophobia and paranoia, inability to
accept responsibility for own actions, cowardice masked by misplaced
bravado, uncontrolled facial smirking, ignorance of geography and history,
tendencies towards evangelical theocracy, categorical all or nothing
behavior.

Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed at how this destructive disease
originated only a few years ago from a bush found in Texas

The Joys of Flight Sim

I didn't want to make a serious political analysis post, so I decided to post about flight sim.

I spent about thirty minutes flying around in the Piper Cub over Door County Wisconsin. It was pure joy. The weather was great, the sun was just starting to set, and flying the cub was just fun. Sure, its a simulator, but its the closest I can get to actually flying an aircraft. Here's some pictures from my flight. If you're a simmer, lemme know :)

Woops...

Uhhhh yea, so I sort of forgot about my blog. Does that make sense? I've been busy with school, girlfriend, part time job, family, friends, relaxing, hockey, etc. etc. Not to mention trying to keep myself informed on what's going on around the world and staying up to date on the problems in this country as well.

Quick update though on my life, I'm graduating in two weeks (thank God, I need to end this school stuff). Still looking for a real job as I wasn't expecting to be graduating this semester. Trying to get onto a local radio station as well, did the training for that. Just spent the weekend with my girlfriend and worked both the hockey games.

I'll have a more serious update as soon as I have some serious time to put into this. Until then, anybody still reading this... well thanks =)
