July 8, 1998

Well, Nikki said that she was going to help with the journal from now on. I think she is trying to stop me from writing about her. She has gone to eat with Mikey and Jeremy.. Ha Ha.. We got up this morning and went to Falcon Air so that we could run the airplane then test fly it. We topped off the wings (64 gals) and put 30 gallons in the ferry tank. I took off from Lawrence Municipal and climbed up to 3,000 ft. After leveling off for a minute, I turned the ferry tank on and waited a few seconds then turned the airplanes main fuel tanks off. Not a stutter or a burp.. Nikki is going to be so pleased.. Mikey and Jeremy tweaked up a few things for us and cowled Mary Beth back up for the night. Back at the hotel, Nikki and I looked at our wrecked room and tried to decide what we would take for the North Atlantic trip. Mikey and Jeremy are meeting us in Iceland, so we only have to pack for about 5 days. That should be 1 pair of pants, 2 shirts, 4 pairs of socks, and (2 bras)... Well, we'll figure it out.. But the most important thing for the trip....... Nikki and I ran over to Europa Hair and Nails in Haverhill, MA, and had Natalie and Nikki cut our hair and fix it. FIRST THINGS FIRST...
