Getting Lambasted with snow today, not a fun drive to the garage. I thought it was "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" not a white thanksgiving. The good thing is I just got a wood boiler hooked up to my oil boiler so enjoying nice warm radiant heat floors in the garage, and can save a little dough on oil this year.

55 here in Kuwait at about 1 AM on the 24th so Happy Turkey Day. The ONE advantage of being in this God forsaken part of the world is wishing an early day to all back in the world. Good news for me today. Officeal EOM (End of Mission) date of 14 Dec and fly out on the 15th. A couple of days of civillian out processing at Camp Atterbury in Indiana and then back to the unheated garage in Norfolk. (Hope to remedy that unheated part - gotta lot to do over the winter)
20 and a Wake Up

Bill; I know you have been traveling alot and I have been crazy busy getting settled-in up here and getting the new shop done. Now that most of that is behind me now, I hope we can get together soon. The machine shop I'm going to bring the block to is McMasters place down in Hallowell. Is that anywhere close to you? Probably will be ready for them in a couple of months. Happy Thanksgiving! Rono

Yep 40 some odd years is about right. My last countdown was Oct of '68. Holy Cats, where did that time go? The upside for me is that I am now a civilian and the pay is better.
Thanks guys for hangin' around the same neighborhood then.
The only "political" thing I will say is that it is just as bad for some of these kids now as it was for some of us kids then. Some things just never seem to be learned.
Oh BTW - 19 and a Wake Up!

...then back to the unheated garage in Norfolk. (Hope to remedy that unheated part - gotta lot to do over the winter)
I finished insulating my garage doors and garage ceiling this week. Without anything to heat it yet, it's significantly warmer than it is outside. I think it will work out very well once I put a heater out there.

Wow, got up to 82° F this afternoon, took my grandson to the beach. Still ~70° out at 5:30. Think I'll start the BBQ and we'll eat dinner outside on the "Lanai".

At least up here I can't "see" the air, it's crystal clear and I even get to see stars at night when I bar-b-cue on my deck Rono

I feel for you guys up north! My wife and I are in Kerrville, TX down in the middle of the Texas Hill Country on our Honda Goldwing along with around 15-16 of our local Goldwing chapter folks. We have ridden the roads Friday and yesterday and are headed north to la casa after breakfast. We have easily seen 150 live deer and a bunch of formerly alive deer.
I hear that my 292 is taking shape at Ted's shop, will have to ride down there this week and see it!
