Yard Stuff and Wind

I built some box planters this past weekend. The materials are 7&5/8″ by 6′ fence planks, 2 by 2s and wood screws. The Frog is back out from the back yard. Yesterday was rough with the wind and blowing sand/dust. The 14 Freeway was closed from just south of Rosamond at Avenue A to Avenue [...]

Voyages on Two Wheels – 3 to 5 November 2011 – First SoCal Motorcycle Trip

I said I’d try to catch up on posts and here’s proof!  I’ve got about ten more that have pics uploaded and just need to be written, but I’m going to take a break soon to go for a Christmas ride I’ve known Kristen for quite a few years now and I met her fiance [...]

The Antelope Valley

On the way home from my eye exam at the VA Ambulatory Facility in Sepulveda, I stopped at the scenic overlook above Palmdale. Took a few pictures. Hope everyone enjoys them. I think the mark on the hill in the one is the San Andreas Fault. From checking the maps I can find, it seems [...]

Cool one from AirPigz

The first flight of the n-Grumman X-47 takes to the skies at Edwards AFB! This is a shipboard UCAS. Note the tow link on the nose gear. And there is a hook stowed aft. That gear says GRUMMAN! Big, strong and heavy duty! http://airpigz.com/blog/2011/2/5/no-fins-no-pilot-no-problems-x-47b-first-flight-with-video.html

Victor Davis Hanson

This was on NRO. If one currently lives here, they understand. Unless of course they are completely entranced by the last few years of out and out stupidity. And I include Arnold Schwarzenkennedy in that, also. http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/255320/two-californias-victor-davis-hanson?page=1

Blast from the Past.

A couple of postcards from the era when I went to Boot Camp at RTC, San Diego. These were the barracks for the first four weeks of training. After the 2-4 day, we moved to the mainside. Providing we passed all the stuff. I lived in the closest one on the first deck. For real. [...]

Sitrep – Frightful Weather In California Means Overtime For Me

This couldn’t have happened at a worse time.  The massive rains in California are the worst in something like 10 years.  They have also translated to the worst trouble we’ve seen at my place of employment in my memory.  Wet weather doesn’t mix well with telecommunications and we’re feeling it big time.  We’re not exactly [...]

California School Disallows Student’s American Flag

I think I’ve figured out what my problem is.  I keep thinking this is America with a First Amendment that actually means something. I keep forgetting that California has already seceded from the Union – they just haven’t made a fuss about it. From Fox 40 in Sacramento, CA: School Makes Boy Take American Flag [...]
