Winter has arrived

Well, Fall is gone away and old man winter has arrived in SLC. We began our first day at deicing at the SLC airport for most of the flights on Sunday morning. This is part of the job that I get to get into a warm truck/or enclosed bucket and spray de-icing fluid all over the wings and tails of outgoing aircraft. It is getting into a small cage or box on a lift truck and using the lift to get above the planes to spray off snow,ice, frost so the airplane can fly. The lift goes about 75 to 80 feet in the air to get above our bigger aircraft. It is like playing a video game shooting de-icing fluid out of a very powerful canon. It is almost as much fun as driving the planes on the ramp.

Go UTES !!!

We went to the Utes game on Thursday night and now I do not have a voice due to yelling at the Utes for the first 3 quarters and with them on the last 3 minutes of the game. What a game that was for them to stay undefeated at 6-0. This little boy was in front of us also cheering for the Utes. Maybe I should ask them what kind of shampoo they use on him so I can use it to grow some hair. My wife was mad at me for getting to the game an hour before it started (I thought it started at 6:00pm instead of when it did at 7:00pm) at least we got there without a large crowd because the stadium was empty. The game was awesome and exciting to the very last second of the game. Go Utes.
