We had like three straight weeks of rain. My commencement speakers said that my class had the rainiest Senior Week that WPI has ever experienced (over half our events were canceled). However it is now 75-80 degrees and sunny, which is beyond perfect weather, with the occasional thunderstorm once a week. This time of spring is easily my favorite season

Glad to hear you were good with basic. I'd never survive there, all the 18 year olds of whom you speak were probably in better shape than me. I'm surprised they're allowing people with no mechanical ability to work on the jets .. you'd think they would be put somewhere more appropriate to their skillset, unless they're apprentices being trained.

Sad about your wife though Hope the situation hasn't been any worse than what you wrote, I can't imagine how it must be.
