WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE !

Received an assignment down by Eagle Pass to do some aerial photos of a fracture job and some rigs for a company doing exploratory work for some of that black gold(oil). Always lots of fun and a little unnerving to hang out of a helicopter to get a good angle. I met my pilot close by and he was a unique character(old, leathery, cow rustling type of cowboy). Well half way thru the shoot the copter starts to shake and I mean SHAKE. Well that's followed by and OH NO (from the pilot)! Which was followed by a WHAT from me and my hands together to say a Prayer. Long story short ....I had a dream the night before regarding this problem that ended badly. Well i'm glad to say the closer we got to the ground, I figured I would survive this ! Just wanted to give a Shout Out to the pilot. Who had to trailer that copter out of there and for me I walked back to my car wondering what could have been.

The View !

Spent the day with PGA Pro Billy Andrade

Well, I flew to Rhode Island and drove over to Massachusetts to Kittansett Golf Club to do an outing with Bill Andrade. Kittansett sits on the the Atlantic Ocean. It across from Martha 's Vineyard and down the road from Cape Cod. He's won a few times on tour and is really a great guy to work with.We finished up a long day on the course and he asks me if I play. I told him I grew up playing and kind of gave it up for motorcycles. He asks what my handicap was and I tell him a 5. He then starts announcing as if we where teeing it up at the U.S. Open. Hilarious!! He gave me a stroke on the last hole- a par 5- for the championship and announcing as I hit my tee shot: "On the 18th tee- with a one stroke lead- going into the final hole, Gary Perkins, a golf photographer from San Antonio, Texas..."
And even with all that- I hit my tee shot straight down the fairway! The badgering continued onto the green. I made par, he made birdie- which made us tied. The playoff will commence down the road at Philadelphia Country Club in July... when we meet again! Thanks Billy for making my day fun!!!

OK, This is the time of year when I get really busy. I will be on and off the road for the next 2 months.
