I attribute my lifelong commitment to fitness to my parents' decision, when I was 12, to put me in Judo...cuz I was a wimp being picked on at school, lol! It changed my life...<br /><br />But I wouldn't say I've "mastered" any of that, lol!capnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-70692806825506071282013-05-22T14:43:53.025-07:002013-05-22T14:43:53.025-07:00Allow me to add a reply to Tyson P.'s question...Allow me to add a reply to Tyson P.'s question there..<br />Cap'n Aux has always been committed to better his health and fitness. Finds ways, though always challenging, to eat healthy.(he's good in taking his vitamins!! :-) <br />I've learned that he's done this for so long even at a young age. He has honed his martial arts craft like Judo, MMA with Krav Maga, Jiujitsu, Thai boxing and boxing. He truly is an ALL AROUND GUY!! Makes sure he MASTERS in what he learns and never does things half way!! He not only believes in doing it right..but being great at it as well.<br />As much as I coach him...He now trains me on Krav Maga and Boxing. Let's just say..he created a monster!!!

If you look closely you can see the "bow." Another fun mountain airport where you can get (or could at one time) a great "$100 hamburger" is Sedona, Arizona (SEZ.) It sits atop a mesa (sorta like TEX)--and there's sheer cliffs off both ends of the runway!<br /><br />Yes, dear, if I wore anything under me kilt, it'd be called a SKIRT!! ;-)capnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-45078990932518707912013-05-22T08:15:39.555-07:002013-05-22T08:15:39.555-07:00I agree, a nice set of random Q's to end, all ...I agree, a nice set of random Q's to end, all good! <br /><br />Yes, like I said, the biz ain't for the faint hearted! In a sense we always feel we are "under the gun"--either by the FAA, the threat of furloughs, firings, medical issues, or company bankruptcies...and having to spend 1/2 a week away from family all add up to some unnecessary stresses for any human.<br /><br />I know in my happily married years, I would have given up my career and become, say, an accountant, in order to spend every precious moment with my wife and kids. Absence does make the heart grow fonder, but it also causes undue stress...and I am always amazed at the flight attendants, who have most of the same stresses, but with 1/2 or 1/4 of the pay!<br /><br />As for living vicariously thru my blog...I am here to serve! ;-)capnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-56332416711517676482013-05-21T16:15:14.936-07:002013-05-21T16:15:14.936-07:00Hey Cappy.......

Not too geeky and great responses!<br /><br />I have been lucky enough to bimble along in life and have make a success of things in spite of my lax attitude...<br /><br />I often think how lucky pilots are and how I would love to have had an aviation career (I actually had an interview with the RAF for a scholarship at the age of 16 - I was woefully underprepared and as a result my application went no further, this taught me a major life lesson) but then I think about all the sacrifices you have to make, the study, the days away from home (I consider myself unlucky if I have to spend more than 1 night a year away from my wife, Lu), the pay and conditions (I don't know your pay or conditions so can't comment) and the constant threat of your livelyhood being taken away via furlough or other factors.<br /><br />To that end, I am happy with my lot but enjoy living my aviation life vicariously through yours and others blogs - so thank you and keep up the great work!<br /><br />Dave from the UK :)Dave Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05085253764274728800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-458059912633672902013-05-17T11:13:55.529-07:002013-05-17T11:13:55.529-07:00Yes, so glad to hear a marriage success story in t...Yes, so glad to hear a marriage success story in this biz! I do actually fly all the time with guys who have been happily married for decades, so aspiring pilots, take heart!<br /><br />I don't think it's just low morale at MY airline, Karlene. I'm sure you've run across your share of bad attitudes out there. All these mergers, bankruptcies and such have taken their toll.<br /><br />But, again, we just gotta expect some turbulence and roll with it.<br /><br />Thanks for the reply!capnauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020957375172560992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002968705989988807.post-54124568439696718842013-05-16T19:58:34.235-07:002013-05-16T19:58:34.235-07:00I love these questions, and your answers, too.

I'm glad to hear that too. But low morale at your airline? Just goes to show that the glass is not always full for everyone, even in what appears to be the greener grass.
