Once during my Air Force stay at Nellis in Las Vegas, we were having air war games and all services were involved. A Marine tech carried a heavy avionics computer on his shoulder to our shop for testing. About a mile walk in the nice desert summer heat. He was ready to leave the shop, we were gonna give him a ride back…he declined and off the Marine went with the stuff on his shoulder, he was following orders.

Wow, that dude was just nasty tough…that’s when I learned things were pretty easy for me during my Air Force days.

The transition to color TV was fun. We all may have a common memory…we survived the inevitable end of the world and every computer worldwide crashing, when 1999 ended. 2000 rolled in peacefully.

A few years ago I relocated to New Mexico. Had spent the previous 20 years in small town Iowa near the Mississippi. Now I’m in a city with about 90,000 people. An adventure for sure. Now I head to mountain lakes and chase trout.

Make the move and enjoy the change in lifestyle.

Happy 4th all! Visited the American Legion here today. Featuring a burger and hot dog cookout and hanging out with fellow Vets. Money raised today will help some members with medical costs.

Thanks….must of been a senior moment I’d root for the Wild in a cup final, since the Blackhawks could not face them.

It’s nice to see the Twins doing well. I am a die hard Cubs fan but keep a bit of an eye on the Twins…especially when they beat the White Sox. Watching the Twins and Rays today made me think about a Cubs vs Twins World Series.

Retired now, trained as an avionic tech in the Air Force, then until 2015 the electronic systems analyst with the National Weather Service in Davenport IA. Maintained the equipment for the office. Had a good career a good mix of office and road work.

We have +28 here in the high desert, typical temp this time of year.

Yep…I was zonked out had to pee and she did not hesitate plus when I sat next to her she politely farted!

You might try weather.gov, I’m biased, I retired from the national weather service. A good tool to keep in your phone.

“The Thrill of Victory and the Agony of Defeat” ….remember from the wide world of sports show ha ha that’s how I felt watching the Bears lose.

Yep I’d like a Rivers/Brees battle as well, I’ll pick the Saints.

Normal winter temps for us in the high desert. We just dug out of a winter storm…so I’m looking forward to the 40’s again.

I see a sockeye salmon head.

That’s a perfect size hoody for her….plenty of room for a couple of puppies. A fun moment and a memory for life.

A great looking pup. The kids are gonna have a special time helping raise Hank. I believe you have the right approach, plenty of fun ahead.

Winter trips to P4, sure was a treat while I lived in Iowa. I brought cookies(homemade)as instructed for my first visit to Everts. That’s when I learned Dean enjoyed a cookie now and then.

“Bit by a battery” yes, have not yet been mauled by one. OUCH!

My guess is a guy wrote the note, glad she made it home ok…I agree, just don’t understand people sometimes.

The ears look fake to me…

I’ll go along with that…..just stay away from my ambrosia salad!

Thank goodness you did not grumble, burp and fart…that may have been a written reprimand . Hang in there!

Nice, Looks like the one in the movie “Second Hand Lions.”

When I hunted, watching the movie Escanaba In da Moonlight never really made me a better shot….the movie, pizza and a few beers was always fun.

I put a cracked egg in a small ceramic container that had a loose fitting lid. I swear the plan was to take care of the egg once I finished messing up the kitchen. Well that container got trapped in kitchen clutter…it was forgotten about. As a few weeks went by folks were catching a whiff of something raunchy in the kitchen. Could only the blame the dogs for so long.

When did you become a stripper?

, yep it folds up only weighs about 25lbs….fits great in my Toyota Sienna with plenty of room left for a cooler and gear.

I can only take credit for putting the cart together, Berkley is the mastermind. If I could only teach my lazy lab to do the pulling for me.
