Free time is never a thing that actually happens for me and as I was drying off from a great shower when Cole flew in saying, sorry I really needed to piss. So dude, what's up? He said well a quiet day and Michel and I are hanging out at her place tonight, nothing too much fun as it is the monthly good news. I said get out of here, I'll see you later. Back in my room, I called coach Weston and he answered with, it's about time how did it go? Coach we had about 40 guys and we ran sprints, talked about how important it was to be focused and next man up. Then we ran a few plays and oh, the guys would like Jason, right guard, to be a captain. Coach said fine, he might be the only Junior worth a shit. I simply let that go and said well speaking of being worth a shit Jim, watched from the car. Sam was good but nobody has hit him yet.
Look coach, someone needs to deal with Jim and get him over whatever is bothering him. Jason and his line-mates are going to visit him some night when he leaves the pharmacy. According to them a chat. Mike, I'll pull him in hear and lay things out for him but I can't even mention these Saturday events. Hell, I even made sure I was in public view this morning. I said thanks "Unus pro omnibus, omnes pro uno" he said ok what the hell is that? I laughed and said, that's easy but here is a hint "pro" means "for" its Latin and I hung up.
I needed something to drink and went downstairs and was getting iced tea and saw Megan, Cole and dad sitting on the deck. I stuck my head out and dad said, there you are, why don't you join us? Cole said you were on the phone. I looked at Megan and asked, so how is my baby brother doing? She laughed and asked, if it's a girl? I laughed and said you need to check on the return policy. Cole started to laugh and said MJ, by the time that kid is old enough to be an issue we will both have kids of our own. Everyone laughed except dad. So guys, I hate to even ask but what's for dinner? Megan said it's in the oven something called lemon chicken with wild rice. I said, wow I missed having that stuff. We continued chatting and I told them that I was flying solo tomorrow and most likely going to the cabin to practice for my appointment there Sunday. Cole, immediately asked if he could go along. Dad asked Mike what airplane? I said well I can take the twin engine Piper but I had decided on the single engine Cessna. Megan asked, isn't that a long flight for one day? I replied well Annapolis was further and more complicated and I did that in one day. I will have no problem and will check the weather here and in New York. If it make you feel better, I'll check it at State College as well. Megan looked at dad and said, Mike this will happen eventually and I understand MJ is very good and very careful. Dad took a big deal breath and said, fine. Megan said, well dinner will be in 30 minutes and she went inside.
I went up to my room and Cole followed and I said we can talk after dinner. I the called JJ and it went to voicemail and I left a message. I simply jumped into bed and was wondering if Cole and I could skinny dip? However, I wanted to avoid Charlie. I called and reserved a car for tomorrow and checked on landing requirements and then called Major Jim. When he answered I told him I would need the Cessna for tomorrow at 7:30 and that Cole and I were flying to the cabin. I promised to check the weather and the wind and would let him know. He said that wasn't necessary as he was also checking and to fly safe. I said thanks. Then I asked about Jace and he said it was fine but JJ has asked that teach him and he said I could have the truck back if he was a bad student. Jim, I'm guessing that you are pleased. He laughed and said, I'm guessing you put that in his head? Jim, I said to ask you to take him up once, the rest is on him. Have a good night.
I must have zoned out but Cole yelling MJ are you eating got my attention. Dinner was fantastic and Cole and I cleaned up and once that was done, I went to my room and checked messages and JJ had returned my call. I immediately called him and asked, how was it? MJ is was awesome, hell I have been in fighters and being in control is better than that. So how was Jack? JJ said it was fine but he expects that once we do something I have it down and communications we're an issue they are hard. JJ think of it this way; say who you are talking to, identify yourself, provide you location and say what you want. He laughed and said well that's easy for you to say. Mike, I took off but wasn't permitted to land. JJ next week, I'll get you on a simulator and things will be easier. Then I asked about the workout and he said, someone should beat the crap out of Jim. Well coach will have him in, hopefully before Jordan and his mates deal with him. Those guys are really pissed. MJ, Sam can really throw the ball. I laughed and asked, can the dude take a hit and throw under pressure. Then I was shocked when he ask, is Jim still able to do that or will he want to? I said, shit I haven't through about that. We chatted some more about the morning and finally we said goodnight and hung up.
Almost by magic Cole appeared saying he was so excited about the trip. Ok dude, I'm glad as I usually have to beg you and you you refuse, why now? MJ there is an actual destination and I want to see the royal retreat. Dude what else has your interest? MJ, the grapes and the lake. Cole, it's a long flight in the Cessna but I'm not comfortable alone in the bigger one. If it's warm we can swim, bring a towel. Cole, I'm not planning on going near the grapes or the winery, I have a meeting up there next Sunday and want a practice run. It is a very important meeting and I don't want the flight to stress me out. So the plane is available by 8:00 and I want to be in the air by 8:30 at the latest. We will be in the air and on our way home by 6:00 and I have rented a car. Cole, I have a flight plan to do, it's not necessary but I promised the Major, I'll see you later.
The two flight plans were easy enough but a pain in the ass as I hated doing them. Then I remembered that they would be necessary with Jets so I simply finished and put them inside my log book. With that done I went downstairs and found dad in his office. I sat down and asked dad, are you ok with the flight tomorrow? He looked at me and said yes, but I will worry all day. Dad, I'll call you as soon as we land and when we are ready to take off. He smiled and asked, what else? Dad, nothing at all. Well how was football? Dad it was a good start but it's still early and I'm going out for a while. Just hanging out with the guys at McDonald's. I won't be late and no drinking.
I drove to the McDonalds drive-thru and got the usual iced tea and parked and started to walk around. There were a lot of teammates and a lot of girls both attached and unattached. I saw Jason and Wes and went over and we were chatting. A couple of girls were paying attention and I asked, so where are your girls? Wes laughed and said, we are in the same position you are in, looking for our next ex. I laughed and said, I have a long day tomorrow see you around. I started to the car and I noticed a couple of girls hanging around the car. I said hi ladies, can I help you with something? The four girls giggled and one asked if they could please have a ride in my sexy car. I immediately started to laugh and said, well I don't think so and I have somewhere to be so please move on. As they were walking away, I heard someone laughing and I turned to find Mary Ann. I asked, how do you always find me in strange situations with goofy girls? She smiled and said well, actually it's easy as you seem to attract that type.
I thought for a second and asked, well you have managed to find me last weekend and again this weekend are you admitting to being goofy? Mike, that's funny as I am anything but that. To me your are an enigma, a puzzle to be figured out. Mike, you are the smartest person in our class, we have been is the same English, history and mat classes for three years, you have a fantastic memory for the things you care about. I leaned against the car wishing I had a cigarette. Then she asked Michael James Simmons, what's my last name? I said Ann? She laughed out loud and said then there is that quick wit, funny sense of humor and the ability have the last word. Then she said, it's Granger. I stuck out my hand and said well Miss Granger it's a pleasure to meet you and we both laughed. Then she spit out ten numbers and said have a good night. I laughed and said well I hope that isn't a damn land line? She turned and said, well call and find out and left me standing there. Being later than I planned, I drove home, said goodnight to the rents and jumped into bed.
I woke early and ran right to the window and saw a great looking day and immediately checked my voicemail and as expected there was one from Major Jim, he said great flying weather but you need to be wheels up by 5:00 this afternoon as the weather in NY will change and I want you long gone before that happens, fly safe. I was so excited and immediately jumped into the shower dried off and dressed in jeans and a tee and went downstairs. Cole was there drinking coffee and eating toast. I glance at the paper and enjoyed the coffee. Then I asked Cole if he was ready and I grabbed two towels and we jumped into the car and put the roof down. The drive to the airport was quick as there was no Sunday morning traffic.
At the airport, I asked Cole to put the roof up and I grabbed my log book and went inside and filed the flight plans. At the service area the plane was there and the tanker was just pulling away. I jumped up checked the fuel and secured the cap. Then it was a very complete pre check. Cole was just watching and I said, get in and buckle up. He looked and I said just do it and don't touch anything, I'll explain. I climbed in and told Cole to put the headphones on and asked if he could hear me? He said yes and I said you will also be hearing the communications between me and the various towers, when that happens just listen and be quiet. He said, I understand.
I primed the engine and it started right up, I checked the oil, hydraulics and revel the engine and determined we were ready. I checked the ATIS and I checked the correct frequency and said: Allegheny ground, Cessna One Seven Two Romeo Kilo, at line service, taxi for takeoff with Lima, northeast departure. A few seconds later I heard:
Cessna One Seven Two Romeo Kilo, Allegheny ground, taxi to runway one six via taxi way alpha, cross runway Two-two.
I unlocked the breaks and revel the engine and we started to move. I looked at Cole and smiled as his eyes were wide open as was his mouth. I asked if he was sure and he said, absolutely.
Once there I said: Allegheny Tower, Cessna One Seven Two Romeo Kilo ready for takeoff. Almost immediately I heard:
Cessna One Seven Two Romeo Kilo, Allegheny tower, cleared for takeoff one-six, left turn approved.
I revel the motor, increasing the RPM's and released the break and we were rolling down the runway and a very smooth and easy takeoff.
It took about ten minutes before Cole was relaxed and asked why was it all coded and how do you learn it? Cole, that was not code, all I did was say who I was talking to, then I identifying who we are with our tail number, gave our location and told them what we wanted to do. He laughed and said well It seemed complicated to me. Normally I would fly following the roads but that would be longer so instead of flying east along RT 22 and turning left at Altoona I checked the campus and headed north east directly towards State College. That worked out well and in about 40 minutes I saw beaver stadium. That was good practice as there were no roads to follow and I now realized why the Major had insisted on a flight plan. Cole talked very little and I was constantly checking for the markers and the anticipated times to get from one marker to the other. When we hit the last marker, I took a big breath and contacted the field checked the ATIS and was pleased with the winds. We were cleared to land and with a minimal crosswind it was a very easy landing.
We secured the plane and I checked in at the small office and was told about the changing weather and that it would be nasty around 7:00. I assured them that I would be wheels up no later than 5:00. I did the paperwork for the rental and Cole and I started the 40 minute drive to the cabin. Cole was just taking things in and I turned into the long driveway he was quiet until we went around the bend and he saw the palace. He asked Mike, where is the cabin? I laughed and said you are looking at it and he said, holy fuck. I unlocked the door and said Cole, look around and I'll be on the upper deck.
Once I was on the deck I called dad and he answered right away. I said dad it was a very easy relaxing flight. Do you need anything? He said well I ordered 2 cases of wine can you bring them back? I said sure thinking fuck, I wanted to avoid that place. We hung up and as Cole wasn't around I dialed the number I got last night. She answered by saying well good morning Mike. I said thanks for not making me jump through the family to say hello. She asked so what you doing today and I said skinny dipping in one of the finger lakes in New York. She said so who flew you there? Miss Granger, I'm Superman and just put my cape on and flew up. I asked what she was doing and I was told reading that Virginia Wolfe thing. She asked when would I be back and I said this evening, early as the weather here will be nasty and I don't want my cape to get wet. She laughed and said seriously? I said well that is a puzzle piece for you to find a place for, have a great night.
Cole asked MJ, who were you talking to and I said well my future ex. He looked at me shook his head and said this place is awesome. I said the place it great but I hate the building. So MJ, you want a log cabin? I said correct and I have the place all picked out. Do you want to see? He said sure and I locked the house, grabbed two towels out of the rental and said let's go. Cole was looking as we walked and asked how much property does your dad own? I said 5 acres. He laughed and said more than enough for a couple of golf holes. We got to the spot I had selected and said a real log cabin here. One big common room and a giant fireplace, two bedrooms and a kitchen and a big shower. Oh and a big deck the length of the back overlooking the lake. After a few minutes I asked if he felt like a quick swim? He said sure and I said follow me and we started towards the rock and I said this place is special to a number of people and while dad owns the property it will remain secluded.
As we approached the area I heard people swimming and I looked at Cole and said well the swim might be off as we don't have suits. Once we got there I sat on the rock and looked. There was Charlie, a middle aged guy and about a 10 year old male. I didn't know what I wanted to do and was considering just going back to the cabin. Then I heard Charlie yell Mike, is that you? I said yup and he said well get those clothes off and jump in. I looked at Cole and said your choice but I'm in. I stripped and jumped in and swam over and shook Charlie's hand and then young Charlie and said hi I am Mike, nice to meet you he smiled and looked at his dad. I shook David's hand and he said you are a week early. Well, I didn't expect to see any of you and he said well it's a family tradition every time the weather permits. Just then there was a splash and Cole was in the water. Introductions were made and David kept looking at Cole and then he said, damn you were the talk at Congressional last week. Would you like to play a round there some time? Cole said sure, that would be great.
It turns out to be a great get acquired event and no business was discussed. Then David said well this was fun and I'm glad this happened but we need to get lunch and packed up as the weather will change and I need to get back. I said, we have the same issue and I promised wheels up before 5:00. David looked at me and asked, you flew here? I said yup I wanted to take the twin engine Piper but but felt more comfortable in the Cessna. Then I laughed and asked, did your people miss that? He said yes they did and there will be a price to pay for that mistake. I climbed out of the water grabbed my towel and was drying off and I heard Charlie say, David look at Mike. I stretched to show off a little and got dressed. Cole was right behind and he laughed and said, showing off some? I smiled and said yup.
We walked back to the palace and I checked it over and made sure it was secured. Then Cole and I drove to the winery and picked up the wine dad had ordered and I was thrilled to see it was paid for. We loaded the two cases in the trunk and drove into town and had a large lunch. I paid the Bill and we headed for the airport. Once there I asked Cole to load the wine and I went inside and filed the flight plan and started the check, the fuel was still good and I discovered that Cole had not tightly secured the door and everything else was in place and looked good. Just as I finished, David came up to me shook my hand and asked, why? I said well to be honest it isn't me it's my team and that's a complication. David, we both wasted money checking each other out and you will rerun the check on me. How about you and I meet here Saturday, for dinner and simply answer the real questions. He said, let me think about that and I'll call you Monday. I said that's perfect and by the way that MJS Foundation is me not dad. He said Mike, I had already figured that out, the mystery is why the money increases. I said, here is a hint check the investments and then Latrobe. Then I said, have a safe flight. He said you too.
We easily took off and I saw David had a very nice twin engine Beachcraft. Cole was much more relaxes and the question flew. Mike, that was nice but what did it all mean? Well that family is very close and older Charlie and David like us, which helps but not much. Mike, what is Congressional like? I laughed and said connected up the ass and look it up. Ok, who is the chick you were talking with? I said Mary Ann Granger. Cole laughed and said, well that's a giant step up from your last two slutty choices. Ok Cole, how do you know that? Well her brother Vince is on the golf team and was in one of the few classes I took after I transferred. Ok Cole, what else do you know? Intellectually she is every bit your equal, but she works harder at it than you do. She doesn't play sports but goes to a lot of games. Her other brother is Mario and is in 9th grade. Cole, hold on a second, please. I checked the flight plan and realized we were a tad slower and figured the wind and I realized that I had been adjusting to avoid drifting east. I then checked Pittsburgh weather and was relieved that things would be fine.
Ok Cole, what else do you know about them. MJ she broke up with a long time boyfriend about the time of the Prom. He laughed and asked, does everyone breakup after that event? I said well there is a lot of that. MJ all I know know she flies so far under the radar you will need sonar. I laughed and said thanks. A quick check of the gages showed things were good and we were at a little over half tank of fuel. I knew the next marker was Route 22 and would wheels down 30 minutes after that. Once we were over Monroeville, I checked ATIS and the Allegheny tower and was told to enter the pattern and hold till advised. We circled twice and were cleared to land. It was an easy landing and the winds were calm. As soon as I was back at the service line, I called and left a message for dad that we were home. I grabbed my log and filled in the details. We unloaded the wine and started home. Just before I got to the highway, I pulled over and left a message for Major Jim saying we were home.
At home, dad and Megan were out and we put the wine on the kitchen island and both went to our rooms. I was mentally drained and physically restless. I decided to deal with the physical aspect and changed for a run. I went to see if Cole wanted to join me but he was fast asleep. The expanded run was just what I needed as I increased it to 6 miles. The resulting long hot shower helped relax me and I sat in a pair of gym shorts and started to think about the events of the day and what they meant. I was thinking about the 4 cases of wine we had sitting in the basement and decided that I would call South Hills tomorrow and see if I could give it away for feedback.
In thinking about the chance meeting today I knew that we both discovered strengths about each other. I knew David had a powerful team behind him and that he was really concerned about his dad. David discovered that I should not be underestimated and that the investors were a hindrance and he thinks I am being dragged along. I would say, slight edge to David. Cole had turned out to be an asset and that would even the score.
I was interrupted by my phone and it was coach Weston. Mike, I have been calling all day are you home? I said I am but I fled to New York for the day and haven't checked my messages. Well Mike I need a favor. I have Jim scheduled here tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 and I need you here as well. I have also invited Jason. Coach, does Jim know who will be there? Mike, he does not as he is expecting just me. Coach to be honest I don't want to do this but with Jason there I will be there. Understand I will be speaking my mind. Coach just laughed and said thanks. I hung up thinking damn this will be a complicated week.
