    Doing as good as I think I could! Keeping busy with work, lots of flights around this time of the year. I've been trying to get promoted to a 135 pilot position and I think I may have proved my mettle today in our EC120.

    Fingers crossed I get the sign off!

    Nice man! that looks fun! I am doing well... I got moved up to a flight commander position so now I am in charge of a students and some other instructors. Its not too bad but a few of the students of course cause more work then desired for sucking at life.

    That's great! Bump up in responsibility come with a bump up in rank as well?

    Sounds about right with some students. I've got some that are just on fire, others... Not so much. As long as I get paid, I'll keep doing what I do and will be happy to be doing it!

    You don't even know. It's bad. I'm literally having dreams about it. When I'm this hell-bent on something I don't turn away. It's a blessing and a curse.

    Lol I thought you were talking about the diesel engine. I just spent the last hour or so reading about Mercedes engines and searching Craigslist for a deal lol

    As for the lift, oh hell yeah! I'll be happy to have ya! Looking forward to more information from Marlin Crawler about it.

    Currently leaning towards the Mercedes Benz W124/OM617A 300D Turbo. Everything I'm reading says fairly quick, good and strong, super reliable, good aftermarket, well balanced, fairly simple. All things I like.
