Morning all


Woke up

Drinking coffee

Scratching my mossy areas

 

Oh! My!

 

Run the dam thing yourself and have a guy hook it into the box.
For a 15 min job and pay him a thank you bonus. I bet you could find someone.

See if you can have a lockout switch and not a transfer box.. Even easier..

 

Good morning. Feels like groundhog day and Monday all over again. I need to take more PTO, like for the rest of my life....

4th straight day of rain here and the temps will drop to below freezing tonight. In the teens. leaves are only half done was out hunting on the North Shore instead of playing house. Normally have until Thanksgiving to take care of that stuff. 1-3" of white shit in forecast on Friday. Another inch Saturday. Warmer than average winter my ass. On the 18th supposed to get up to 40 deg. will see. Haven't even got to the snow blower yet guess better do that tonight.

I recall A-6's and a few A-7's mainly 14 Tomcats. Then the Hornets started showing up and taking over. But always the COD, Mail Call! My first thought was a Hawkeye, then again I never did complete my EAWS I was ESWS. Damn Airdales... Present company excepted!

Still think Flight of the Intruder is one of the best movies ever made.

For the longest time always thought F-4's with the Blues. Was stationed in Pensacola for a time and got to see them winter practice there. Seen enough Hornets in my day out to sea though LOL.

Couple of years ago was over on the River shooting pictures of Eagles at a National Wildlife Refuge and off on the horizon saw faint white smoke in the air and tiny dots. Set the lens to infinity and took a bunch of shots to look at when I got home and figure out what it was. It was more than 20 miles away.



Damn, blue and yellow upside down could mean only one thing the Angles were near by. Although didn't know they had switched to Hornets that caught me by surprise. Looked it up and found they were in La Crosse. So Sunday morning drove over and sat on a bluff above the river well above the airport. Picked a perfect spot.







Felt like these guys were going to hit me. Or run into the bluffs

 

Just got a batch of venison jerky going in dehydrater, honey bbq. Used my new Lem jerky gun,,
I picked a good week to make jerky. Since I I'm not working this week, I won't feel bad about not taking any to work to share.

Hi Andy.

Looks like I missed an awesome trip. This thing called work just gets in the way of things I want to do.
Did the old guy ever get the rock moved?

 

Welcome

 

At my old base we mainly had squadrons of F4's and RF4's , there was also a few squadrons of A4's , AV8B Harriers .We also had a couple squadrons of C130's

One of the most remembered moments was back in late 2004 when I watched a mock dog fight between a E model Phantom and a new A model FA18

The two pilots both CO's of squadrons on the base I think MAG 11 MAG 13 decided they wanted to see if the newer Hornet was a better aircraft . This mock air show / dog fight happened during normal base hours and probably pissed off nearby homeowners

 

Happy Tuesday!!
