I Can Breathe Again
As i sit here tonight it almost feels sureal to report my newest endeavour. I can breathe again standing on top of the hill that i have been climbing for the past three years. Dale Earnhardt Jr , the son of "The Man In Black" has just put together a new Busch Series Team called JRM (JrMotorsports) and take a wild guess who his newest First Officer is. You got it. I got hired this past week to sit right seat on the Embraer-120 Brasilia and i am more excited than i have been in years. This whole week has been a blur with ground school on this beast of an aircraft. I have gotten so accustomed to the simplicity of pistons and carb heat airplanes that i feel about 100 miles behind the Brasilia and it's systems. At any rate i am positive that this thing is gonna be a frikkin blast to fly. My first scheduled trip is next tues departing to Richmond Va for test day. I am counting the seconds til the start up. After that i will go to ATL Flight Safety for an sic checkout in the simulator. Since i left Las Vegas i have been looking back on all the wonderful things i took from that place friendship,knowledge, discipline,and composure. Flight instructing has given me the tools to score a job like this and i will never regret doing it. My time in the desert happens to be the smartest move i have ever made. On top of that the friendship that i found there is something i can always hold near and dear to my heart. I could never forget the people that helped me get here. Thank you guys for everything and i miss you all so much ! I suppose i will officially kick off this new job with a trip to The Texas Motor Speedway on Apr 8 hauling Mark Mcfarland and his #88 Navy Pit Crew to the O'Riley 300. These guys are great and i believe i will enjoy working with them. Only time will tell what happens with this team but rumors are already circulating about another Busch team next year and also a Cup team in the near future. It is exciting to be a part of all this commotion, i am going to smile and enjoy the ride! Just remember that dreams do come true! Over and out from the sticks of Bville peeps. Hope all is well in your corner of the world. It couldn't be better here. Check out the new JRM sight http://www.jrmotorsport.com/
