dang, Dang, DANG!

My family ALWAYS trys to get to the local air shows. Really wanted to go to this one but it was cloudy and damp this morning so we passed and ...painted the farking living room instead.

Of course the weather dleared up and it was a beautiful day for hte show but by then we were too deep into painting to go...sigh.

Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be bad but it won't make any difference because the youngest son has church all afternoon - he runs the audio/video equipment - and after that he has a dinner for one of the church members. Wife and I will probably still be painting or doing something with our first grandchild...or our second which is due in about a month if you get my drift. For those in Rio Linda... we might be at my daughter's house helping her get through the last few weeks of her first pregnancy. (Our first grandchild was our oldest son's first child)

Then again I might just finish things up at home, send Wife with Daughter, then go to The Local Watering Hole and catch the NASCAR race with some of my friends. Or maybe the Pens playoff game.

Sorry you missed it. Best time I've had at an airshow in a LONG time. Raptor demo was, um, amazing. The way that thing can juke, even if a missile could lock on, they could scoot out of its way at the last second. Had a lot of fun talking with crews at the static displays. Even the traffic wasn't a problem.

Only minus was the food prices, but I guess that was to be expected.
