Living out of the Hilton

I have not written in some time now. I have been very busy working in Warner Robins, GA at the air force base. Tomorrow will be my thirteenth week working on the C5 cargo airplane. About half of the weekends consist of me flying to San Jose, CA where my apartment is. I live about a mile from the office and it is a very beautiful city. This morning on the way to the airport, my shuttle driver pointed out: Microsoft, eBay, Cisco Systems, Yahoo, Intel, Apple, and IBM. Each of these companies look like a small college campus.

Most of my weekends in San Jose are short and consist of mainly catching up on sleep, doing laundry, and filling out expense reports. I try to make sure that I do or see at least one cool thing each weekend. I got to see the Braves play against the Giants in San Francisco on opening night when Tim Lincincum received his Cy Young Award. Leo and I played golf one weekend at a neat little course that was par 29 and weaved through the city only a few blocks from where I stay.

The weekends when I stay in Warner Robins have been a lot of fun also. A few weeks have consisted of me going in to the plane hangar alone with my supervisor, Avi, flying back to San Jose. I have visited Columbia a few times and Hilton Head during the Heritage weekend. That weekend, I met up with some friends and ended up getting to spend the evening on a Yacht which had a guy playing guitar and open bar.

I should be in Warner Robins for another couple months and then there is no telling where my next project will take me. I will try to add some pictures and update more regularly.
