All settled into the 'Heart of the New West'

no, there's no foliage just yet - I found this picture on the net

Well, I've just spent the first weekend settling into my new place in Calgary. I am renting a room from a long-time friend of the family, who lives in the Northwest part of the city. It's perfect, as I will be working about 15km west city at the Springbank Airport.

I have myself a new ride, which I definitely feel much better about driving. I know this one would be legal to drive on roads in every province and territory and that it would have no problems passing any sort of emissions test! I have much more confidence that it's going to start when I get up to go to work tomorrow morning, and that I will ACTUALLY make it to my destination, without having to take my battery inside so its strong enough to endure several cranks!

I've temporarily placed my camera in a location I do not remember, however, it will be high on the priority list to find it tonight to bring it along with my on my first day of work, which is tomorrow! From what I have been told about what to expect for the first few days is that we're going to over some company documents, and do a flight or two to the 'practice area' to get familiarized with the areas surrounding Calgary, and the procedures for training in it's airspace. Now, the weather is calling for snow all weekend and next week, but hasn't been right to date, so lets hope the snow and clouds hold off until my days off!

Surely will have another post up (with some pictures) tomorrow after the first day.
