so I finished my first season up north, and I'm looking forward to the next, but for the next 5 or 6 months everything is up in the air! so I wonder what everyone else does this time of year?
personally, I've taken up some work at my old job as a rock climbing instructor, I just signed up at the warplane museum to volunteer in the engineering department to do maintenance under supervision, and I'm trying to say current by "hopefully" getting some charter time at my friendly local flight school...... and renting to take chicks flying.......
so what do you all do in the off season? (other than flying on skis). This is something I bet I can hear some really wild and varied answers, and I'm looking forward to your input.
All the money I didn't spend while I was working in the summer of '04 I spent in the winter of '04 in Asia. Had some good times there for 4 months. The tsunami sucked.
I'm building houses full time during the off-season and getting to know the wife again of course...giddy up. Sunny and 12'C tomorrow with just a hint of wind so we're headin out in the boat off Campbell River to get us some prawns - mmm. When it rains out here it really rains but when it's nice it's really, really nice and you forget about the rainy days/months so we try to take advantage of it.
Shreddin' the pow pow gnar gnar on my board...opening day was today yeepee!!!
Try to get a MIFR and ATR this winter, and walk my dog... jus trying to keep life simple. Prawns sound good...mmmm, I'd love to get a job pushing Beavers up and down the coast...
Asia, great choice, especially Thailand. Do that for a couple months on only a few thousand, then move to Whistler, Banff, or Fernie to shed up the hills. Work out, both the brain and the body. Go flying for the summer... repeat 30 times.
I call the "Off" Season just my Season to have fun!!. Im in Koh Phi Phi Thailand right now and ill tell you that you can still see the effects of the Tsunami but you have to look hard. almost every thing has been re built.
I'm hanging out in New Zealand which I'd recommend to anyone. Nice and warm, great scenery, lots of work if you're so inclined, gorgeous women everywhere. I'm still looking forward to flying again though.
Our friends just called from Baja...30'C and sunny. Couldn't go this year but this time next year I'll be down there again on the beach drinking cervesas(sp).
Finish the float season in early October and be on a jet for Australia by the end of October. You will never regret it or forget it!! Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll!! Oh yeah, the Aussie Sheila's!! Oh, those were the days!!! Sure hope my wife doesn't see this thread.
