Thanks, JJ, for the explanation. Any time I fly in the winter I wish the deicer guy takes all the time needed.
Interesting about you having to calm the pilots....tough to be a great pilot without great crew chiefs and maintainers.

Good morning, Canteen. Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for todays activities.
Still crazy here at work.
And since I begin my holiday leave next week,
I have a lot to get done.
The crazy people and traffic in this area are making me sick.
I can't wait to retire.
I will NEVER drive to DC again
and will try very hard not to do so to Northern VA.
Now that my morning & attitude
are ruined I might as well do some work.
Please stick around and visit
with the military and/or family members.
That's what we're here for.
The FR Canteen is ALWAYS
Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM ~ DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT Showing support and boosting the morale of our military and our allied military and the family members of the above. Honoring those who have served before.

I just post this on my fb page. Rep Tim Walberg & members of congress & criminal admin! Just remember that the people who you dismiss now are trained KILLERS, who have honed their skills in 3rd rate GOD Forsaken areas of the world. We are the ones who have literately given blood,sweat & tears for. We have kept our promise to the Country, it is more than time for you people to live up to yours! You guys had NOT even give your selves a pay raise either, or Hell will rain down upon your ears.
