It’ll be morning well into a Federal holiday by the time most of you read this. Just was at Tim’s our fallen warrior who passed away while riding his HD to Centerville from Skull Valley after doin a dance there. The trouble with it is, that both Tim, and Darnelle are both members of the clubs, and one just did not see the other until it was too late. The lane lines out there on I-80 at the Skull Valley exit, to Tooele. Only real illumination comes about Grantsville where Wal-Mart has its regional supply warehouse at.
It was a bitter sweet viewing, and while everyone understands the circumstances , some healing time between members is going to take time. But we will heal.
Went on a Wolf prowl earlier tonight. It was really great doing 360’s at 30,000 feet, pulling 19 g’s in a F-18 Hornet trainer that is on loan to HAFB for some joint training missions. I will say , my big belly is beginning to make me really mad, but sadly there’s not much outside of excersize that I can do about it. I don’t eat that much very often. The way I really felt it earlier was squeezing into my flytesuit. Got it done and a fair amount of freedom of movement , but not much to spare either. We trained over Eagle Range west of Tooele between Delle and Wendover. The experience just renewed my visions and determination to get my butt big or not back in the air.
Went out to our company’s hangar. Randy was still over at Sam’s so I had the place to myself. It was an eerie feeling to say the least. Saw the notice of the rent hike on the place, while that size is good for our byrds to be housed all together along with our supplies and all, still $2,000.00 a month is a bit much. I saw a place over at Morgan so going to inquire in the morning. Perhaps the guy who was going to rent it to us once will again, and be available.
I puttered back to Sam’s and am getting ready to drop into bed so I can be awake for the flyte to Tweaker Flatts. I used to say going home, but Tweaker Flatts Idaho, to me no longer is home. Going to talk to Charlie to see if I can speed up my Idaho departure date a bit.
More in the PM here. See ya’ll then.
