PSTAR, fun, the gym and the dollar.

Rainy day here in Langley (see flickr).
Got some contact information of one of the CHC guys, before which he had given me his take on how flying isn't any fun any more when you get into the big leagues. He reminisced about the days that he used to fly 206's in the Grand Canyon and would like to do some solo work. He added that flying was more about unions and wages and the actual fun was missing. He finished by recommending me to 'stick with the fun' type of flying instead of trying to get bigger paychecks as soon as possible. Sound advice if you ask me.
Did some work on to prepare for my PSTAR (rules and regulations using your Aeronautic Information Manual) today. Went home a bit early as we had no ground school today.
Oh yeah, almost forgot, went to the gym with some guys (fellow students) today. After moving some heavy weights and them only doing the same old 'isolation, mirror bicep workout' I quickly got the comment :'Wow, man, you're like the bionic man or something'. :-) Quite funny.
Just heard the news about the us dollar going down to the level of the canadian. For a moment there I thought it was the other way around. Phew. Will still be watching this though and hope the canadian dollar stays stable and unaffected.
