After spending yesterday giving a few horse riding lessons (one very excited rider even got to move from the riding arena to riding on the trail), today has been a paperwork day for Dennis and I both. For me, the last few days of the month are spent paying bills, finalizing aircraft project invoices, sending them to Team Leaders for review, then sending out statements to the ministries, or local pilots, who own the airplanes. Dennis has been working on two paperwork projects of his own today. Repairs have just been completed on the tail wheel of a Stinson 108. This airplane landed at the local airport (next door to us). We were asked to repair the airplane. The fun part for the mechanics is repairing the plane. The "not as much fun" part is doing the log book entries and any FAA paperwork that might be required. Part of Dennis' day has been spent on the work order and logbook entry. Recently, Dennis has been generating "proof of experience" files for each MMS staff member. This will come in handy as experienced mechanics are matched with those needing experience on various projects. Dennis was surprised to find that he has worked on 52 different types of certificated airplanes, and 6 types of experimentals. Amazing to see the variety of experience MMS offers to apprentices and ministries alike. Time to leave the paperwork behind, go home, pet the dogs, check the weather to see if we can finally get the hay cut, and ride a horse.
