Weather's been wonky lately, so not a huge amount of flying going on. Typical Midwest Spring weather. It'll threaten rain all day, rain off and on for 5 minutes at a time... makes flying a pain. But I have gotten several flying trips in. Flown mostly my SHP and Slick. Fun stuff. :)

There was a fairly serious safety incident at our field yesterday. A guy was tuning the engines on his glow-powered B-25 and had a prop strike his hand. It nailed two of his fingers, shearing off 2 of the blades on the 3-bladed prop. Needless to say, it cut clear to the bone, and there was a lot of blood. It's amazing that it didn't actually cut OFF either of the fingers. This just goes to prove what they always say: model airplanes are not toys! They can hurt you if you're not careful while operating them. His wife came and took him to the hospital and other people at the field saw to making sure his airplanes were taken somewhere safe until he can pick them up. That's one of the great things about the hobby: if something happens and you need to leave, there's nearly always someone that'll see to your airplanes and gear.

I'm still waiting on my aforementioned new bike to come in - should be this week! I'm pretty excited for sure. My wife also has one on order; basically the women's version of the bike I ordered. Hers is the Specialized Dolce Elite and it should be in near the end of this week too. She rode a road-style bike (what everyone used to just call a "10 speed") quite a bit when she was younger, and looked to be instantly at home on the roadie she tried out at the LBS, so we got it on order for her. :)

Gaming-wise, I've been playing EQ2, with some old friends. If you like content-heavy games, EQ2 fits the bill. There's so much to do in that game, that its common to hear people that have been playing since release say they've still not seen everything there is to see. I left WAR due to lack of real content, so being in a game with a ton of content - at all levels - is refreshing and good. Plus, of course, EQ2 has a very well-done Necromancer class, which is always a plus for me. And it also has Ratonga, another plus! (Even though my Necromancer is a Dark Elf and not a Ratonga... Heh.)
