Mojave 6-27-15

I had to make a run to the Mojave-Rosamond Landfill today to get rid of the treadmill that took a powder and some fans that also bit the dust.

It was a mostly overcast day for a while. I should have hauled my camera...................These were taken with my Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

Elaborate, $2.6 million model aircraft carrier donated to Naval Academy

Some of The Lexicans had this linked all over Facebook Monday and Tuesday. It is now the wee hours of my Regular Day Off and I am enjoying Red Eye and Firestone Walker 805...............It seemed like a good idea for a post....................

"The 84-year-old craftsman, who made his first model from cardboard in the late 1930s, has donated to the Naval Academy his magnum opus: a 12-foot, 3,600-pound, brass model of the USS Forrestal."

This is one really bitchin machine! The Stuff Works on it!
Having served on two Forrestal Class Ships, this one is kinda special.

Perhaps OldAFSarge, Christopher Goodrich will get some pictures should he venture down the Atlantic Seaboard to The Trade School on The Severn.............................
More outstanding pictures and the full story at the link below.

0300 on the 20th of June, got home from work at about 0205 and took care of the usual stuff and decided it was time again to make an appearance from The Verandah at Casa de Glenn y Sharon.......
I obtained the see gar at the Base Exchange at Eddie's Airplane Patch as well as the Red Hook ESB from the Exchange Gas Station/Shoppette.........................

Red Hook ESB and a Cuesta Rey Captiva

Glad to be back on the Verandah at Casa de Glenn y Sharon

The Front Yard

The landlord of Casa de Sharon y Glenn decided to go drought compatible.
This is the result. He also owns the house next door.
I had to pull out my flower boxes, though.

Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson set to launch his own airline

Wow!

I admit that I do listen to Iron Maiden from time to time and was aware that Bruce Dickinson was a commercial pilot.

I wish his new venture all the best!

He took an interest in my neuropathy as well.
Prediabetic is the term being used.............................
I know my A1C is good as of January when I had my annual physical.
I am probably going to go through a bunch of nerve conduction tests and some other stuff that aI can't pronounce, much less spell.

Beer Blogging on a Sunday Evening

It has been one of those days................................not very exciting.
So I had a See Gar and some Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.....................

Arrogant Bastard in an Arrogant Bastard Glass

I managed to get to the FasTrip Convenience Store after work at about 0145................
Missus ORPO needed smokes and lo and behold, they had Stone Arrogant Bastard in the 22 ounce bottles.
Needless to say, I did procure a couple of them...................
The Glass was obtained at the Cost Plus World Market in Beautiful Northwest Bakersfield........
It also demanded the enjoyment of a decent See Gar....................

On the right table in my "office."
BTW, Wednesday is my Regular Day Off.
