Wheeler Field. I saw Angie Dickinson up close and personal when they were filming the tv mini-series "Pearl".
And...yes. Without hesitation. Even though she's a year older than my dad...and I was 20-ish then.

My supe's son was on the Enterprise (The Big 'E') and got some of us an in-depth tour of that little boat when it docked at Pearl. I have some cool pics and even a book about the ship. I also got to drive a submarine simulator/trainer, and we watched a team of Americans and a team of Japanese submariners practice fixing pipe leaks in big glass tanks. The Japanese blew the Americans away, with their speed, discipline, precision, and lack of wasted motion.

The 'L'-shaped building in the foreground was our barracks.

Ewwwwwww! Chair Force???
...of course that's all my in-laws...retired Chief Master Sergeant and Lieutenant Colonel...and the brother-in-law did a 6 year stint, too. Makes for fun times during the holidays. I tell stories about being deployed at sea...Iraq...traveling the world....yadda yadda... they tell unnerving tales of how the room service at the Air Force Inn was sub-par...or how the Navy barracks were unlivable...hahaGlad I flew Navy.
Congrats on the good news from the Dr

Just got my first walk of the week done. Looks like the weather will be cooperating all week so more walks on the calendar. Gotta figure out to do with the rest of my day. What ever it is it will be a lazy one.

So I get back home from the gym and I’m out on the back porch, eating my lunch and all of a sudden Ivan starts to yak up some thing. I take him out on the back porch and he proceeds to regurgitate and entire squirrel in one piece. I’ve never had a dog that was swallowing entire animal without tearing it apart, but I do now… he is either going to grow out of this phase or die getting there
