Good evening, eye...did you enjoy Christmas? Family? Work?

We are pretty much without snow. *sigh*

Hi Kathy, oh yeah, lots of snow still, it snowed last night and it's snowing right now. It's staying below freezing so it'll be around for awhile.

It's beautiful. I'm glad I have an SUV though.

You have snow?

Hello Kathy! Its been wild. My Neighbor of 84 had me over for Christmas with her family.

My previous 8 days from hard work was in Washington and Bragg.

Old boy was a bit tuckered.

I hope your Christmas was just as much fun!

Hai! Nope, just hanging with family until after the 1st. No flights on the horizon as yet but do have crew meetings next year.

Not much snow and maybe rain Tuesday or Wednesday. YUCK!!

Seems wherever the warm weather is coming from, it is pushing our cold down to the lower 48.

Good for you. I was caught off guard.

Trip to McLean for 4 then Fayetteville for 4.

Barely have time to wash the tighty wighties.

Nice chow hall though.

Kathy, For some reason I still have that beautiful print for you.

It has never been opened. God will let me know.

You are everywhere. Is your lounge chair lonely?

Rest of the family going well? Tennessee is awfully wet, I hear.

A bunch was going in but had to hold back. Lots of local flooding.

I’ll make it as long as I-40 doesn’t slip into the river. :^)

1500 miles a week can be considered normal for me.

Hi Kathy!

The Germans in the west were so grateful to the Americans for the kind treatment. They were also grateful the Russians didn’t get at them.

It is serious up in here.

Good thing. They didn’t keep it, just made me declare it as mine.

Folks wearing black with Shotguns walking around while having a gatorade is fine with me. The US Army is not allowing infiltration.

I go back 30+ years. I am Air Force, they know me.

Good morning, Mooch....they faced death without the airlift.

Thanks to our military, they survived.
