Well, I am back from a trip to Yuma, Arizona.
I was recently interviewed in Ottawa for a position with a company called MMIST. They produce a cargo capable UAV (unmanned air vehicle) that is capable of re-supply and aerial monitoring. Because they are listed on the website – those who are interested can go here to see: http://www.mmist.ca
Seems they needed a beat up, old, retired fighter pilot who was reasonably capable of putting words into intelligible sentences, was willing to travel and was at least somewhat presentable in a public setting. So I threw my hat in the ring, and now I am part of the team.
It appears I will be in Yuma on a regular basis – at least for the next little while. I managed to fly my first mission on the Yuma Proving Grounds last Wednesday and quite enjoyed it. Lots of interesting tech stuff, but the flying is the fun part.
I am home for a couple of weeks now. The contract is with the U.S. Army and I will – for the next little while – be working out of Yuma as well as a few other places. It will be nice to have a little cash flow at the farm for a change instead of outflow. If cattle cannot support this place I suppose I will have to do it. Such is life.
Weaning calves today – wife has all the pens set up and hay / water available in the pens. So all I have to do is help sort. Bonus!
Oh, by the way – had our first roast out of that swing bag cow we killed. A little chewy, but still very good. Surprizing, because she was milking a couple of calves right up to slaughter day.
Gotta' run – best to all,
Bez'
