PE firm takeovers & Finance CEOs seem to always be bad news for people & product. I have experienced the latter & watched good, knowledgeable & loyal people be tossed in the name of streamlining & efficiency while the product erodes & becomes unrecognizable to customers

Was fortunate enough to get to spend another great week in Disney World with my wife and daughter last week. While there we also were able to catch up with some friends local to the area. Looking at doing it again next year. We’ve def become a bit of a Disney family.

Still absolutely stoked from Friday. 10 yrs since I’d surfed and even before that my sessions were few and far between so I started with a beginner coaching and couldn’t have asked for it go better. Next time will be a novice session. Also, these pools are game changers, 14 waves caught in an hour.

If this picture was of Obama, you know @FoxNews would do three weeks solid on why the flag was on the ground.

Had to make the hard choice today but with a direct crosswind gusting to 17kts, it was the safe choice. Have to respect those personal limits.

More right seat safety pilot fun yesterday. Hopefully get back in the left seat next week. Saw some aerobatics being practiced from the air and we over flew the plane I took my checkride in.

Saturday I had a downright unbelievable experience. Drove 170mph in a Lamborghini Huracan Evo on an intersecting runway with a live, low level F18 demo taking place above me. The sound of a Lamborghini Huracan Evo engine at max revs behind your head mixed with F18s in afterburner is unbeatable!

I got to check off a new flying experience and I get to log some time for it too. I got to serve as safety pilot sitting right seat on a flight down to Charlottesville and back.
