Need 30 More hours 200HR TT In 1 Year

Update,

I almost put in 200 hours TT this year the 29th of this month will be 1 year
since I started after my bout with phenomena and a collapsed lung. I am
about 30 hours short of 200TT it should not be a problem if the weather
holds to do them 30 hours. I got 1 more round at the dentist and 2 more
teeth to be pulled on the 24th "Ill tell you all Dry Socket Really Sucks
Glad It's Over, So Dose 3 Hours In Chair Being Cut On And Hammard On" I Also
hope to put in 200 hours PIC by December 14 2004 1 year from earning my
PP-ASEL. October 22 Is the Day I soloed and the say I quit smoking (3 packs
a day) Cold Turkey I have not had any tobacco products since.

Dang, that's a bunch of solo hours.

Mary and I have about 200 hours this year -- together!

He must have spent most of his time in an airplane instead
of an English Composition class.

I met a Cirrus demo pilot the other day who put 900+ hours in last year.

I can't fathom that -- although I'd like to try it someday.

Ok if someone else is paying for the petrol!

Just in fuel that would cost me more than my salary. Before tax!

At 3:30 AM, I don't type very well either.

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people
he gives it to.

I can't either. My top year was a little over 100, and much of that was getting used
to the Maule.

Congrats on the many successful milestones - sounds like you have (and
continue to) work through several issues there.

I put in around 200 hours last year, probably will fall a bit short of that
this year but still should be somewhere around 180 hours or so (depends on
the weather - it seems like we may be in for an unusually early fall this
year). Witt he shorter days and the coming of the Big Gray Drip I figure
now's the time to get in a few more long day trips. Hope the weather
cooperates!

I used to say that. Then I got a bunch of instructor ratings, and all
of a sudden people were actually paying me to fly. I guess I went
overboard - I had multiple students going, and the next thing I knew,
I had over 300 hours for the year and it wasn't even over.

I noticed something else, too. I wasn't looking forward to flying the
way I used to. Sometimes I got in the airplane with no enthusiasm at
all. It was becoming too much like work. It was also absorbing every
spare moment I had. I even started talking about selling my airplane.

I don't do that anymore. I carefully limit the number of students I
take on. I'm back to my preferred level of flying - about 20 hours a
month, give or take. I'm back to looking forward to every flight, and
back to having time for doing other things.

And every time I think about flying for a living, I think about that
year.

Mine, too -- but that's cuz I'm pouring everything we make back into the
hotel remodeling...

Of course, your petrol prices are a wee bit higher than ours, no?
