Two more movies out of my queue: "Real Women Have Curves" was, well, quite the chick-flick. A bit on the predictable side, but it was not a bad way to kill an afternoon that I was going to spend on the couch anyway.

Last night was "Saved!". Michael didn't get it, but I really liked it. I went to a clone of that school, so I got it. He was just confused. I was expecting something like "But I'm A Cheerleader", but it reminded me more of "Strange Angel".

Still at home: "Dr. Who And The Robots of Death". Next in the Queue: "Quills" and "Robots".

I've been enjoying NetFlix.

We watched Stealth (which wasn't nearly as bad as I was afraid it was going to be) on Sunday night. And then last night we watched National Treasure, which I thought was really pretty good. Tonight, while I finish some of my Christmas projects (and I have the apartment to myself), I have the Jim Carrey Grinch movie on the TiVo.

Yay for mindless entertainment!

Friday night I went out to the airport to give the twin a quick sponge bath and get her ready for my Angel Flight Saturday morning. When I opened the hangar doors, I went a bit too far out, and knocked one of them off it's track. Michael was not amused, and since we didn't know how to fix it, we left it open for the night.

Saturday morning was Angel Flight #7. We took her home to Texarkana, which is a quick 1.75 hour trip in the twin. It was mostly uneventful, although I finally filed IFR when the visibility got down to a few miles in haze. We dropped her off, and on the climbout, the door popped open. In the twin, that's a real pain - it adds a lot of drag, and really kills the climb rate. You can't get it closed in flight, either. So we turned around, landed at Texarkana again, closed the door, and took off. I even got to keep my IFR clearance. The controller was more worried then I was - he kept asking me if I wanted the fire trucks out when I landed. I kept telling him there was nothing wrong, I just wanted to close the door...

Anyway, we got home more or less on time - 4.1 total.

Saturday afternoon, Michael came over to watch "Open Water", which I'd found on the clearance table at Blockbuster. I approved of the ending. The rest of the movie was awful.

Today, I tried really hard to work on the airplane, but it was just too hot. Got the left wheel bearing and brake done, and sunk an anchor in the concrete near the tail to use as a tiedown, but didn't actually get an eyebolt for it, so it'll have to wait. Jim came out this afternoon and helped me fix Michael's hanger door, so I could finally close it.

And now I'm home and showered and enjoying the AC. It's going to be a fine afternoon for some gaming, I think.
