Happy Hour

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

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

Got a post on Stormbringer

I made a comment on Stormbringer that was about a B-17 with a tail number of 666. I told him that I was the Assistant Crew Chief on an F-16 with the same last three.
He asked for a post and a picture.
And he published it!
Stormbringer. One of the premier Mil Blogs!!!!!!!!!!!!
Little Ole Me!!! Wow!
And here it is

Stormbringer on the Devil Jet!

And then Theo Spark linked it over at Last of The Few!
If I wasn't on pain meds after hernia surgery, I would hoist a couple or four! Got some Michelob Amber Bock in the Fridge.
And the Myposian Dance of Joy is out of the question right now.
I also owe my buddy Jeff a Bravo Zulu for the google thing he had routed to me letting me know that Sean was interested.
