Tomorrow is the six month mark as a civil service crew chief here at Edwards AFB. Wow! It has gone by fairly fast. Half way through a lease on a house!
I got me a COLA raise already and should be getting a step two one shortly. That will put me well above what I was making in the Aircraft Industry in Wichita and even with the ballast train salary. And I still miss being out there on the trains but c'est le vie! Or is it Le Guerre!
Since I had the interesting times following the discovery on the 4th of September, I have made new friends and acquaintances via this blogging thing.........Fun. Lot's of fun. I got the first chance at Parrothead Jeff and Friends when along with Kath, Jeff took as on as authors on his blog. Things degenerated from there(joke!) To all who have been along for this ride, I thank you for all the support, prayers, laughs and candor you have given me.
Special to Jeff, Kath, kc(kid sister), Buck, MUD and all of my followers. Couldn't have done it with out y'all!
"I may be going to Hell in a Bucket
But at least I'm enjoying the Ride!"

It always makes me wonder. If we are all on this train together, is there truly followers? May you always be full of things to write about and many more years of writing. The get the hell home and out of Kalifornia... The heartland may not be where my heart is, but my butt is here forever.

Unfortunately, Kalifornia is where the paycheck is.
Raises are good, continued good health and new experiences are better. Keep on keepin' on, Glenn!
How the Air Force has changed. When I was in (1969-1976), no civilian got within 20' of a fighter or bomber except when on display. Towards the end of my active duty at Richards-Gebaur AFB south of KC, we did have some civilians providing POL to our Reserve C130s and transients but no one could dig into the innards of a bird unless he wore a bluesuit.
I'm not sure I'd care much for the modern AF.
BTW, welcome to following my blog.
