Excited!

I am officially excited. I found out a few weeks ago that I got into Test Pilot School to become a Flight Test Engineer. What does that mean?

I spend a year in California learning how to test aircraft and flight hardware while studying engineering and flight, beginning in about 1 year. I get to fly at least once a week on a bunch of different aircraft. Plus, I walk away with a Master's degree, and, better yet, Ben and I should be stationed together the whole time. It took some strategizing and luck to pull that last part off.

That's not why I'm excited though (although I am pretty excited about that). I just realized today, while finally checking out the Wachusett brewery with Ben & Beau...they sell Fat Tire in California! Why it took me this long to make this realization, I don't know. Maybe it was the stock piled Octoberfest in our basement distracting me from deeper thinking (like what kind of beer can I buy in CA).

So yay for us...accessible Fat Tire beer for at least a year! No more squeezing a 6 pack into luggage, hoping it survives the trip.

Well, only a little more of that, but you get the point.
