Monday On Top Of The Hill

While the big winter storm didn't hit Coshocton, it wasn't exactly summer around here over the past couple days. We did receive an inch or so of snow on Friday, it rained nearly all day Saturday, Sunday it started to snow in the afternoon and it kept up overnight to deposit another inch on the icy layer below. More snow showers are predicted through the week with overnight temps dropping to the single digits as the week progresses.

As I look to summer I appreciate how nice it will be to not have to dress in four or five layers of clothes every day. But then, if you watch the football playoffs on TV, maybe all we really need to wear in this weather is a coat or two of black and gold colored paint. Maybe silver and green. Maybe not. I vote for layers of clothes over layers of paint.

Karen and I are off to Columbus airport in a few minutes to pick up Andy Porter, our newest MMS apprentice. Andy's from England and serves with MAF-UK. He came over in June of last year for a week of evaluation and then we spent a week with him over in England in July as we went through the MAF orientation course. Check out our July archives for related stories and photographs.

Over the next three weeks, Karen and I will work to help Andy adjust to the local culture and prepare for hangar service. We look forward to having Andy as part of the MMS team for the next thirty months.
