Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

Bayou Renaissance Man: Let's do the airplane shuffle!

This is where I will take sides with the Army. Seems the Air Force in it's elevated view of itself as the provider of all transport has seriously dicked the dog on this one. The Army has different requirements than the Air Force. But the Fast Mover, Fighter Mafia run Junior Service has lost sight of a lot of things. I work for the Air Force at Edwards AFB so I do see some of the lack of practical application of anything here.
It seems to me if you are tasked with certain things as a result of demanding the Army have no practical fixed wing assets then man up Blue Suiters. No offense but you need to loose being overly impressed with yourselves and get to it.
My indicator is handing a Air Police Member a Blue Retired ID with PO1(E6) on it and being addressed as sir. My Retired Air Force coworkers are addressed as Staff Sergeant, Tech Sergeant, Master Sergeant Etc................................................

 Bayou Renaissance Man: Let's do the airplane shuffle!: It looks like the long, convoluted saga of the US armed forces' C-27J Spartan airlifters has finally been resolved. It began in 2005...
