Kids Helping With Airdrop Bundles!

Volunteers pack donated goods into airdrop bundles in support of the 70th annual Operation Christmas Drop at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, Dec. 4, 2021. Over the course of 10 days, crews will airdrop donated food, supplies, educational materials, and tools to 55 islanders throughout the South-Eastern Pacific, including the Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of Palau. The international effort will allow Pacific Air Forces and partner nation Airmen to execute low-cost, low-altitude airdrop training, which will improve interoperability and communication for future real-world humanitarian assistance and disaster relief missions.

Now that is MY kind of comfort food!

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[Kathy in Alaska]

It was nice to see the sun today...I shoveled last night, so just a little this morning and my deck is clear til late tomorrow.

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

I hope you and Gizmo had another fun outing yesterday.

Are you expecting wild weather with the cold front that’s getting ready to blow through this week or will you be lucky enough to miss out on the action again?

[radu]

Y’all have had some pretty gloomy weather for a while now. I imagine seeing some sunshine was exhilarating.
Nice to have a little break from shoveling snow too!
So more snow is expected, is it? :-(

[E.G.C.]

Folks, I gotta tell a little story, yesterday morning I took the pickup out of the garage and then went in and did Internet stuff and took a nap.

3 and a half hours later I let Gizmo go outside and noticed the headlights on the pickup on. My first impression was uh-oh, I forgot to turn them off.

I estimated 3 and a half hours when they were on. Thankfully though the pickup did start and we were able to enjoy supper from Sonic and a spectacular visit.

This morning I did take the pickup out but this time I remembered to turn off the headlights. I would have had to have to call AAA and have them jumpstart the pickup and take it in for a new battery had this not happened.

So, despite this boo-boo the pickup is working and thanks to that I am able to enjoy Wichita Ridge with Gizmo and present to you the following pictures from yesterday this morning.

[E.G.C.]

Hey, Radu.((HUGS))

Check out post 46. I just posted an update on everything that happened yesterday

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, E...((HUGS))...good weather for adventures?

You and Gizmo have a great Thursday.

[radu]

You were lucky the battery in your truck didn’t die. That would have been a pain in the rear.

It looks like you had a beautiful day yesterday and Gizmo made the most of it.

[E.G.C.]

Yep, although we should could use some rain right now.

[SkyDancer]

Good Morning Kathy! (((HUGS))) Well we’re having rain and snow mix coming today so it’s snuggle time with a book and a fire. Bring on the hot chocolate too!

[luvie]

Howdy, EGC! ((hugs)) Sure glad your pickup started after the lights being left on for so long. Whew! Also glad y'all had fun at the lake. Gizmo has such a handsome profile.

[luvie]

Howdy doooo, Early-ish Birds!
Yep, I'm really late, but feel like crud.
Hope all of you are feeling good
....and will have a Thank-A-Troop Thursday!
((((hugs))))
