Tonight was a good night, it was a full day at work but some friends that I worked with on a large project a few years ago are in town for the week. They work for a customer on what turned out to be a very complex and involved delivery. Tonight a few of us that worked on the project got invited out to dinner with them to catch up a little.
They are staying downtown at the Four Seasons, it’s the first time I’ve been in there. My top standard in downtown hotels is the W, I think this was more impressive. I doubt I will see the inside of without a company credit card being involved. 
They took us to dinner at Cafe Campagne by the Market. Excellent French food, great wine and a very fun evening catching up. I just need to find an excuse for a return the complement in Hong Kong. There are days where i reminded why I do this. There are the long tough days when you are on projects that seem to fight you every step of the way, but some how as a group and company we find a way to deliver. We find a way because of the talented and dedicated people both within the company and at our customers that we are able to do that.
It’s all coming together professionally for me once again. For me personally it’s been tough at times, but nights like this reminded me how cool it is to produce airplanes. There are not may places that can match what happens in Everett, we build something incredible, then turn around and do it again and again.

Mate, it was good to see you, Matt, John and the rest of the build guys last night. It has been too long and you do need to come out to HK, we’d look after you. Really good catching up, it’s just a shame your boys took such a pounding in Adelaide over the weekend.

Thanks, great night and fun time over dinner. I’m not sure who has the best stories about a life in aero.
