The Quad issue

So I dropped my Yamaha Quad Grizzly 700 off at the dealer for servicing but also to look at my little noise and power problem. The servicing manager/chief mechanic started it and shut it down right away. It didn't give me a warm and fuzzy when I saw the look of confusion on his face. This is a first for him. He will let it warm and thaw out inside and take a look at it tomorrow. Hopefully the news will not be as bad as I'm thinking right now.

I'll keep you posted on the quad saga.

New Boss

There's a new sheriff in town. That's right my unit is geting a new Boss this Wednesday and this morning each flight commander had to in-brief him on our particular organisation.

I think he's going to be a nice guy to have around. He's very keen and personable. Hard worker and triathlete so it's good for the runners among us. He will have a lot of things to deal with and we don't know yet what his priority will be. That's the only concern I have right now. With the old boss, we had him figured out already but now we have to start all over again.

I just hope that eventhough he's a brand spankin' new Lieutenant-Colonel he has the caracter to fight for this unit and it's people. It's easy to get trampled by more senior officers in the HQ when you are new in the rank. I hope he does not let that affect his Command.

We'll see.
