Re: Jeff’s Previous Post and just plain hot

Today at Falcon. Just after I got to the parking lot. Got him strapped in and the ladder off. Hot back there. The engine is started by a small turbine that can put out a lot of heat in it’s own right! Ryan up there working hard and the Tech Rep, John having a laugh. [...]

Tonight I shed a tear or two

Deadliest Catch. The episode with the stroke that took Captain Phil Harris of the Cornelia Marie. Sig, Andy, Keith and the new guy on the Kodiak did also. Sig almost lost it telling the crew of The Northwestern. BTW, hard, tough men do cry. We do. There is a certain bond among those who go [...]

I’m Still Alive!

Yep, it’s been a bit of a rough patch lately.  Work’s been a bit more of a pain than usual, but that’s not all. It’s probably the change in the weather that’s caused me to lose the most sleep.  I tend to deal a bit better with cool weather than overly warm and while it’s [...]

Goodbye to a Friend at Falcon

We said farewell to Rod at Falcon Maintenance on Friday evening at Coach’s in Rosamond. The sort of official watering hole for all at Edwards AFB. The Missus made a cake just for Rod. It blew him away. He was constantly thanking her. A good time had by all. We shall miss Rod but know [...]

Picture(s) and Video A Day – 15 May 2010

Yeah, I’m a bit late on getting this post published. I managed to get a blister on my foot, a blood blister on my thumb, and a pretty good sunburn too.  I know it and it’s my own damn fault and no, I wouldn’t change 99.9% of it   I’ve spent most of today recovering [...]

Changes and Reflections

Six Months in the Desert. Already. Time Flies? Especially after fifty. Was out of work after February 26. Got notified of being accepted for a position at Edwards AFB the middle of July. Got all the paperwork done. Physical-Check. Got delayed. See next. Started out with Jeff and Kath last August or so. Then came [...]

Awesome Video From Nutnfancy – Lessons of My Father: Depussification

Folks, I can’t say how much I love this video.  I may not live up to these standards all the time, but I do try.  I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people freak out because of something like a power outage or a cut finger for example.  They have no idea how [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 7 April 2010

Yesterday and today were not really great days.  I won’t go any further than to say that it’s mostly work related and that those who should know already do.  Actually, I will say one other thing – I do still have a job. Due to a combination of circumstances, I’ve come up just a bit [...]
