Re-Linked at Pinch’s Place!

One of the first people to give me a link way back when was Pinch.  He’s a former Naval Flight Officer who used to run the radars and other systems in F-14 Tomcats while trusting the guy up front not to do anything that might endanger their continued condition of actually living.  A great writer [...]

Recommended Reading and Viewing

I would love to be able to blog about all the cool stuff I find online, but I really don’t have the time.  It’s one of those things that seems to go by the wayside when you’re working two to four hours of overtime a night   Therefore, I’m just going to dump some [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 31 December 2009

It’s that time of the year again.  Time to look back at what was and to look forward at what can be.  2009 has been something of a transition in my life and I’m still undecided on whether this has been for the better or not overall.
I’m on my own again, albeit with good friends.  [...]

Something For Buck to Consider…

I found these wonderful videos from the British TV series “Top Gear” over at Theo Spark and for some reason I just thought of Buck   That would be Buck from Exile in Portales After all, he likes aviation stuff and RVs, right ?

With all that open space in [...]

Recommended Reading – 21 December 2009

As I surf around the blogosphere (sadly the only surfing I’ll be doing anytime soon), I come across lots of stuff I’d love to blog about.  Trouble is, there’s these things called work, sleep, and a need to wind down after I’ve waded through the filth that is the news of our supposedly wonderful government [...]

Good Times (and Likely Reduced Blogging) Ahead!

So, life’s going pretty well as of now   I’ve got my mom and brother coming into town today, good friends in the comments, great co-authors to help out with quality content, I had a very nice post written about some info I emailed Sean Linnane over at Stormbringer, and I had a direct [...]

On the lighter side

Since the news as reported is a bit on the fugly side, I will refer back to Jeff’s posting of a rather pristine, sexy Attack Guppy. Otherwise know as a T-2B for sale for some ungodly amount of money. As the pictures showed, it had new stuff in the panel that was not standard equipment. [...]

Last Post of the Day – Jimmy Buffett – Souvenirs

Most of the Buffett songs I know (and that’s a pretty large number of ‘em) I learned while I was working at Captain’s Cove.  This isn’t one of those.
I bought Margaritaville Cafe – Late Night Menu because it was the only way I could get another song – but you’ll have to wait to find [...]

Even I’m Not Twisted Enough To Do This

Sure, I like to sit by the window on commercial flights and watch the wingtips bounce.  That said, I don’t intentionally try to cause anxiety in that environment and I’ll even go out of my way to minimize it if I can.
From The Wings Stayed On! we learn about Inflight Movies You Could Do Without?
I [...]

Fort Hood Massacre

I’m still trying to think of what to say and how to say it.  I’m shocked, appalled, and very angry at what happened and at the person who committed this act.  I can’t find the words to express my sympathy for the families, friends, and colleagues of those we lost as well as those who [...]
