To many young men and women gone for a country they loved. I will raise a glass to them and many others this weekend. This weekend isn't about Bar B/Q and going to the lake

Just a reminder Military spouse day is this coming Friday 10 May
The day is celebrated annually and is also known as Military Spouse Appreciation Day. President Ronald Reagan declared this day in 1984 in order to recognize the importance of spouse commitment to the well-being of military members. The day was first observed on May 23, 1984.
Making of a Military Wife
Submitted By: MilitaryMomma
When the good Lord was creating Wives, he was into his sixth day of overtime.
An angel appeared and said, "You're having a lot of trouble with this one. What's wrong with the standard model?"
And the Lord replied, "Have you seen the specs on this order? She has to be completely independent, but must be sponsored to get on post; have the qualities of both father and mother during deployments; be a perfect hostess to 4 or 40; run on black coffee; handle emergencies without a manual; be able to handle flu, birthdays and moves around the world; have a kiss that can cure anything from a child's torn Valentine to a husband's weary day; have the patience of a saint when waiting for the Unit to return home; and have six pairs of hands."
The angel shook her hand slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands... no way!"
And the Lord answered, "Don't worry, we'll make other military wives to help. Besides it's not the hands that are causing the problem, it's the heart. It must swell with pride in her husband, sustain the ache of separations, beat on soundly when it's too tired to do so and be large enough to say, "I Understand" when she doesn't, and 'I love you' regardless."
"Lord," said the angel, touching his sleeve gently. "Come to bed... finish this tomorrow!"
"I can't," said the Lord. "I'm so close to creating something unique. Already I have one who heals herself when she's sick, can feed three unexpected guests who are stuck in the area due to bad weather, and can wave good-bye to her husband, from a pier, off a runway and understand that it is important to his country that he leaves."
The angel circled the model of the military wife very slowly. "It's too soft," she sighed.
"But tough," said the Lord excitedly. "You cannot imagine what this woman can do or endure."
"Can it think?"
"Can it think? It can convert 1400 to 2 p.m."
Finally, the angel bent over and ran her finger across the cheek. "There's a leak," she pronounced. "I told you that you were trying to put too much into this model."
"It's not a leak," said the Lord. "It's a tear."
"What's it for?" asked the angel.
"It's for joy. Sadness. Disappointment. Pain, loneliness and pride!"
"You are a genius," sighed the angel.
The Lord looked somber and replied, "I didn't put it there."

I know that with my 24 years of service I would have never made it with our my military spouse!

What I had in mind was the answered labeled #1 which is the 2nd answer down that it reflected the sin of Solomon breaking God's laws that he told Solomon not to do.
Great website I will have to bookmark it Thank you

During my weekly men Bible study we studied 1 Kings 10:14 most of the newer formats of the bible say that Solomon received 25 tons of gold but if you look in the notes or the older version it say 666 talents of gold.
1) I'm not saying that Solomon is the Antichrist because of Revelation
2) I don't believe in coincidence
3) I understand that one is a number and the other is a value of letter in a name
Has anyone have any connection between the 2 or am I trying to connect 2 nuts with out a threaded rod?
I have been told that "where the Bible doesn't explain, it behooves man to not try on his own".

Men,
Could use some prayers for our oldest daughter Stephanie and her family. Some back store Stephanie and Corey have been married for a 1 1/2 years and Corey has a daughter Ellie(11 years old) from his 1st marriage, Ellie has been diagnosed with reactive attachment disorder (didn't bond with birth mother) birth mother was a drug addict.
Ellis has been placed in a mental health facility because she stated that she wanted to kill herself and dad and mom (she calls Stephanie mom) she said this we believe because Stephanie and Corey found out that Ellie has molested a pair of 8 year old boys and Ellie has said to police that Stephanie and Corey have beat her until she bleed and have been pushing her head into the wall. Please pray that the 2 boys get the help they need and that this will not effect them the rest of their lives, that Ellie get the help she needs and to heal the family.

Proud stepdad moment. After Bret was killed in Afghanistan his sister Krysten took to run to find peace and help her focus on talking to GOD and help remember the good times with her brother. Over the years she has gone from 5K up to marathons and is puts on a 5K in her brother memory to raise money for a scholarship in his name. She has even hooked up with and organization called "Wear Blue run to Remember" that supports Gold star families. This last weekend she went to New Mexico with several members of the 45 Infantry Division and ran the the Bataan Death March Marathon beating all the 45 members by 20 minutes and finishing 11th in her age group. Which all in all is something to be proud of in my book. My wife's family had a member that survived the Bataan Death March but passed many years ago but on Saturday Krysten spent some time talking with and listening to one of the few if not the only survivors still with us James Bollich. She was very humbled by the experience and wish she could have brought him home and took him to let her 3rd grade students listen to him. The younger guy in the photo is a Major with the 45th signed up Krysten and told her later. The 45th has taken Krysten under their wing after lost Bret.

Did the Pre-Ranger get to come home?
Yes he did, and that's why I am active again. No more sitting all day and half the night in a hospital. We brought him home last night around 2030. He still has it, but the oral antibiotic is slowly shrinking the infected area. He will go back to school Wednesday. Thanks for asking
That is good news

There is an airplane on the Air Force base that has been used as Aircraft battle damage repair trainer for about the last 15 years and is no longer safe. They are talking about using a Chinook to come in and lift it to another area of the base so the airplane can be disassembled. I hope they do I would love to watch that
What kind of airplane?
Things with wings do not always play nice with the almost 100mph rotor wash. Oftentimes they start flying with interesting outcomes.
A guy I knew had picked up a damaged huey and was carrying it single point. A huey is a pretty light load, even fully loaded. It requires a drogue chute to be attached to the tailboom so the nose stays pointed straight ahead, and forward speed is limited by the loads stability. As long as it behaves itself, the pilot will increase airspeed slowly until the load starts to occolite. When at that point you'd back off say five to ten knots and bore a long slow hole in the atmosphere onto your destination.
Well this huey was doing pretty well at 100 knots so they bumped it up a bit. The load remained stable but the added pressure broke the drogue chute line and just like that the load started to try and spin. It did some wild gyrations as they tried to slow down but when he saw the huey level with him outside of his window, he cut it loose.
This happened in Germany
Meanwhile below, in the everpresent winter mist and haze lied a quiet little German village. In that village lived the classic "little old lady" who was busy cooking, I believe. Well she heard a thunderous crunch and the house shook, but then all returned to normal so she went on about her business. I think it was the neighbor who shortly thereafter pointed out the huey occupying the space where her bathroom had once been...
I believe that Huey never returned to service.
And don't get me started, I have loads of funny Chinook carrying loads stories
Like the time when I was .....;-))
The aircraft is a WC 135 but all the special gear is removed so it is just a KC 135 with a cool paint job. The plan if the lift it is to remove the horizontal, vertical and the wings from the tip to just outside the landing gear torque box area. From the place it is resting to the ramp area is about half mile by air and 2 miles by road. I will video it if they do the lift
Looks like they will be cutting the aircraft up in place so no lift for the chinook

Question: Would it make me old if I had a few flights in a huey and got lifted up to one on a forest penetrator? Asking for a friend
Yes, it quite possibly could.
Thanks, That friend said it was great and wouldn't change a thing

Another one from back from the days I was flying around on the Airborne Command Post airplane. Some of these aircraft had J-57 engines which didn't have enough thrust to get the aircraft off the ground with a heavy fuel load so they had water injection(and everyone thinks the Hot Roder came up with that), well the water would cause the jet to shake, a bunch of noise and black smoke out the tail pipe until the water ran out. I sat in a compartment with 2 other guys which radio operators and me maintenance with the junior Radio operator sitting in the center which was his first ever flight.
Sitting on the runway the pilot hits water the jet starts it shaking and noise and we start down the runway and get into the air at about 120-180 seconds the water runs out causing the jet to drop some because of the loss of thrust and the jet gets very quite. This in turn caused the new guy to start screaming that we are going to crash, we look at him and tell him to shut up. After we get to flight level the Aircraft Commander comes back to find out what was going on ended up chewing out the senior radio operator for not bringing his guy before flight. The front end crew could hear this guy from mid aircraft up to the front end. Good laugh by all after it was all said and done.

We currently have Direct TV and am tired of paying $150 a month for television service. We mainly watch local news, college sports and follow the Cincinnati Reds so we are kind of thinking of going with a digital Antenna and get the live stream Hulu. What options are you using?

I spent a good part of my day installing a My Push Cart remote starter on my 2006 Duramax and replacing the transmission selector cable on the same truck. I couldn't get my phone to focus so all the pictures look like a big black blob. The start went in great and works fantastic only had to disconnect one connector and attach a ground. Now the selector cable wasn't bad but the wire loom above the steering column was a pain but the easy in which the truck shift now is amazing. Back sure doesn't like be turned and twisted like that.

I'm a discussion group leader for Bible Study Fellowship and this year we are studying People of the Promise Land Part 1 and last week we had a spirited discussion and wanted to see what your men of GOD think. In 1 Samuel 28 when Saul went to the medium was it in fact Samuel that the medium and Saul saw and spoke to or was it a evil spirit?
We had basically 2 camps.
1) It was a evil spirt using Samuel words.
2) God allowed Samuel to be called back to give Saul one last chance to repent.
What do you think do you have something we didn't think of?

Oh this could be fun! Back in the days of the cold war and I flew on the Airborne Command Post (basically Cheyenne Mountain in the air) just finished deployed alert (cold war days crew members got put in a semi underground building for 7 days so they could run out to the plane and take off with in so many minutes to go do bad things to the other team) and flying home on a KC 135 when a string of events proved to everyone on board the skill of our pilot. This aircraft had been having autopilot problem and maintenance hadn't been able to find the problem before flight. The problem was that the crazy thing would start doing a Dutch roll and the autopilot wouldn't disengage unless someone pulled circuit breaker. We get to 32,000 feet sit back for the 2 hour flight, well the front end crew missed the write up in the forms to not engage the autopilot so we start this slow rocking back and forth. The crew starts fighting the autopilot from left to right of straight and level. The pilot would correct and the autopilot would correct back to what it wanted to do with over correction each time. The roll got to around 85 degree and everyone putting their seat belts on except the boom operator who was going to put on his parachute but got pinned to the floor, side and roof of the aircraft but he ends up crawling back to his seat and buckles in. This is where it gets fun, one of the flight control cables breaks (at a splice that shouldn't be there) the aircraft goes to 180 degrees (or inverted ) and starts falling like a rock. The pilot was able to get the plane back to normal straight and level with 5,000 feet above the ground. Our base got the best pilots in the Air Force and Boeing on the radio and he was able to land that thing using engine thrust and the remaining flight controls.

I wouldn't just drive it but then that is me. How big a deduct and what is the estimate to get it well again. How much will they raise the rates on you. Never an easy choice when it still is usable right..
They hit it hard enough to bend the intrusion bar and I noticed today that the got both right hand doors. Body shop said around $2,000 with and insurance deductible of $250 so I'm thinking that the insurance will get ac call Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-P907A using Tapatalk

I had the joy of going to the body shop today because someone with questionable family lineage ran into the side of my truck and drove off with out a note or anything! Right rear door is messed up so now the question do I turn it in on insurance, pay for it or just drive it? Something for me to think about.
