Is it bad that the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Colfax is hookers?

There's a reason for that. Though this morning there was only one crazy homeless guy shouting and waving his arms as everyone ran by, a marked improvement over colfax at night.
 
Flew from SNA-CMA yesterday. Came across this guy

Going through the Coastal Route above LAX

And coming back home over Huntington Beach Pier
 
I got myself a Pilot-related job. Finally. Yay.

Operating a 737-800 Simulator. Kind of instructing. Essentially, the place is set up for your average Joe Blow who couldn't tell a C152 from an A380, but has the experience of being able to "fly a jet" on his bucket list. And its my job to talk him through it, etc etc. Its a lot of fun, and surprisingly realistic.

Can also be used for sim training, but alas I am not yet rated to do that.

Where are you at? There's a company that just opened in Tampa Bay that has their own home built 738 - was curious if it was the same place.
 
Flew up to the Gladiator Fire just north of Phoenix. We flew in just before the Air Attack Observer started calling in missions to look at our family cabin which is 5 miles north of the fire.


This is the Observation post, and antenna farm just above Crown King.

After landing in Lafayette they wanted to come visit with us up front. The Capt. and I were more than happy to show them around. It was great, they were so excited "Wow! There's so many buttons!" "I wanna be a pilot too when I grow up!" Even on a short overnight I'll gladly make time for this

I remember using that antenna farm as a visual checkpoint on one of my first solo cross countries out of GEU up to FLG.
