Hi Ned, long time out and busy but a free calendar is tempting...
I think flying is the main reason but you can add some tips, if you keep the flying to the level that is always fun and not enough to get you very tired or bored..., if it's done in a beautiful scenary, and you`re doing the type of flying you like (to me firefighting and mountain rescue mostly and some slingloads...) just great
If you add a good paycheck you take care of your family expenses and the posibility of living and working doing all that at home .... what else do you need but a small tour every once in a while???
I've got all that and feel I'm a very lucky person, actually I wouldn't switch jobs with many people for a lond period but I know I work in a spot where many pilots would like to be.
Feels good to be back.
Good luck to everybody and enjoy yourselves at least once a day.
Buen vuelo
