The elixir of life…these days. A hot cup’o joe in my HS memorabilia mug – London Central High School in High Wycombe, England, currently being torn down and turned into a bunch of high-priced condos. Bites.

January 25th, 2012 · General
Busy day today with a lot on my mind. I know that’s no excuse…
Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you.

January 24th, 2012 · General
I think I’m starting to get the hang of this picture-taking-of-bald eagles thing.

USS Independence, LCS-2
January 24th, 2012 · General
Taken when she was at a port call in Newport Rhode Island a year or two ago. I haven’t been following the whole LCS story as much as I should/usually would, but this is still one absolutely awesome looking boat.

Pic o’the Day 23 – Foggy Blue Morning
January 23rd, 2012 · General
Now that I look at it again, closing one eye and squinting out of the other, Foggy Purple Morning?
A tad cold this morning, but still a very nice still picture. At the (of course) Pilot House Marina.

A Hot Launch Button
January 19th, 2012 · General
Found this one in my Pick o’the Litter folder on Flickr. Something most of us never got enough of…a lit launch button, meaning there was usually something attached to the aircraft that was going to go zippity-do-dah fast in a few seconds…namely an AIM-9 Sparrow or, if you were real lucky, a AIM-54 Phoenix. The AIM-9 Sidewinder, being the air combat/close-range weapon it was, was a pilot-only-shoots missile, so we’d never fire those bad boys. I got to shoot 2 sparrow missiles, both tracked good and scored within lethal range (these were usually telemetry shots, not warhead shots). It was wild when you heard those things light up and go off with a fair amount of gusto and authority.
