After 27 years of watching jets I have to admit it is not quite as exciting as it used to be. The fire station is right next to the runway so it is a bit loud throughout the day at work. It is nice to go home to a quieter area. They are still fun to watch when they are doing the dogfights over the range.

Thanks for the pictures, I enjoyed looking at them. Since we are not a major base here we do not get the Thunderbirds or an air show at our base. I saw the Thunderbirds many times when I was stationed at other bases. You never seem to get tired of watching their acrobatics.

Just for your info, Dan Holtz:



joypipe noticed all my SOSs and will fix it ASAP.

Have to scale back my operations, the electric bill is killing me almost as bad as the outside temperatures. We just hit 118F/47.7C and all our days for a couple of weeks have been 110F+/43C+. Looks like monsoon season may start here soon so the temps will drop a couple of degrees for a bit.

Joypipe is clean now. He did some more cleaning and is monitoring the situation a little closer now.

We don't have much insuation in the home, we just use fans alot. One of these days we are going to get an air conditioner for the days that it gets above 105F. The inside temps only get to 110 on the hottest days so it's not that bad.

Mouth hanging open yet? All in fun, we are well insulated and the A/C unit comes on around April and will not shut off until end of October when the temps drop down into the mid 80s for the winter. On the positive side we usually make it through the whole winter without having to use the heater more than a couple of times at night.

I tried ordering up one of the Asian women but nothing in the mail yet.

I keep trying to suck people into conversations at Joypipe, sometimes even with success.

For anyone looking to support the Air Force we are always happy to make room for you.
