Las Vegas...Here We Are!!!

Well we have been in Vegas for about one week now and we are starting to get settled in.  My first hitch of work wasn't too bad (I was a little worn out by waking up at 4:40am and working seven days straight) but now I get to enjoy the next seven days with the family.  It is going to be a blast!  We are still unpacking and searching for stuff in boxes but all in all, the move went very smooth.  Thanks to all the family that was able to help us get packed and moved in time.  
Hello Las Vegas!!!

This is my office.  It is a Eurocopter EC130B4.  It is a 7/8 person helicopter which has an 847 horse power turbine engine.  It is a blast to fly and the view of the Grand Canyon isn't half bad either!  
This is my work: Papillon Helicopters.  I spend most of my time in the helicopter, on the ramp, and in the building to the right of the main terminal.  I typically fly about 2-3 tours per day.

Our new home located in Henderson, Nevada.
Using the BBQ for the first time since I got it for my birthday.



Attempting to smoke some ribs with Hickory chips and apple juice.  Wish me luck.
Well that is all for now.  I will keep ya posted.  Time to go check on the kiddo.  Later.
