Good morning all

car in for some maintenance and brakes
some errands

Posted Image

us off to walk at the beach - we might be wearing a bit more clothing since it's only 33 LOL

hope everyone is well and you have a relaxing weekend planned

I still have some finishing touches to do for the eagle scout ceremony tomorrow - couldn't figure out why I couldn't print from the laptop last night - had to reboot and all's well but too late in the day so off to bed

will do it when I get home a bit later

I gotta catch up :( phooey

work has kept me busy but it's getting there - next week we're getting a new storage thingie and tons of files will be going there - where they should have been all along as my new bosses get better organized

Suzanne's office got cleaned this week and is awesome - now on to Richard's :)

but for now - on to the beach BBL :}^

Welcome home, Topa! We missed you! I'm so happy for you that you were able to spend this time with your grandchildren. The photos are wonderful with all the smiling faces on the guys, and little Baila in her flowered headband, and of course the beautiful scenery.

Carole the red-tail is such a character. You get such funny shots of him!

Have fun at the beach, Deb and Gary.

Since the OM team only has a few employees, I thought it was a strong possibility that the disgruntled employee must be the fourth pilot, Chris Gulllikson. This article confirms that. How unfortunate.

Cranes spend 24th day grounded in Alabama because of FAA Pilot-Pay Rule

http://cs.birdwatchingdaily.com/BRDCS/blogs/field_of_view/archive/2012/01/05/Cranes-spend-24th-day-grounded-in-Alabama-because-of-FAA-pilot_2D00_pay-rule.aspx

Here are a couple of Facebook comments with names removed:

It would be nice if Mr Gullickson would find a more constructive way to spend his time than to try to bring down a group that has done so much to try to save a species. Especially since he used to be one of those paid pilots who he speaks so poorly of now. I guess he has forgotten how much time is spent doing all the other stuff involved in a migration and how little time is actually spent flying with the birds. And THAT is what the compensation is for!

Chris joined OM in 2005, after deliberately flying over the pen. He played dumb after being waved away, apologized, they became friends and were hired. He admitted this in a letter on Lasher's site. Obviously it's always been about what Chris wants with a complete disregard for the rules. He did not turn down his paychecks after the FAA made these new rules... soooooo guess it's ok for Chris to break rules. How does he sleep at night? A personal vendetta to ruin an organization that has given so much of themselves to save a species, and ruining people's careers. How does someone do that and ever sleep?

Sometimes you wonder how small a person can be. Then you find out.

Welcome home Topa, what a wonderful Holiday trip that was for you. <3

Cheryl, The leucistic RTH is so beautiful and rare. <3

Shame on the past OM project pilot who's caused so much trouble and possible endangerment to the survival to the critically endangered Cranes and migration project, and in the middle of a migration!!! :'( :hair: :angry:
