I just happened to pull up FR and there was the thread. LOL!
Not time for bed yet but I certainly won’t see the sunrise before hitting the sack. I’m surprisingly awake right now but we’ll see how long it lasts. I was able to g to sleep pretty quickly last night, for a change, and got more sleep than usual. Reckon I’m getting used to getting up early. That’s good because it’s a repeat this Saturday.

There are lots of photos of action, jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, shooting.... Unfortunately the military is mostly long hours of boredom, unless the weather is good.

I was so tired from hiking and biking yesterday that I went to bed early...also, my dear sister fell and injured her wrist, so she wasn’t playing either.
She has a 3-hour gig coming up Saturday...pray her wrist is healed by then. Luckily, it’s the strumming hand, not the chord-making hand.

Penny likes the walks in the woods better than the pavement.
Which is good because I like that better too.
