The Miracle Tank

B52s and P51s. Still some beautiful machines. I'm a sucker for nose art.

Me too, My bathroom is done in it. Kind of.

Your taste is impeccable, but no redhead?

Guess we know now, Paul likes blondes. I mean, his wife is blonde.

good morning all...

Another solid company. Hoping it is manageable for all three of you down there.

We are staying put for now. The mayor has asked that people just look and leave and not stay. Several water treatment plants are damaged so no water, sewerage or power currently. I have extended my hotel stay here for at least another week. I will probably drive down this weekend and empty the freezers at both houses and drain the tanks. We have already been alerted that looters are out in different parts of the city. Nice.

Sorry to hear about your tanks as well.

Yes. The beloved P51.

Nose art is no longer acceptable in the military

My wife has blonde hair (I think ) But I prefer black hair. When I airbrushed her picture many years ago I gave her black hair. Of course I don't know how to airbrush blonde so the decision was easy.

Your taste is impeccable, but no redhead?

Apparently not. I didn't paint them, I just hang them but never look at them.



I like them all and I am not picky.

Nice. As I noted above in today's military it isn't allowed.

Edit: I am glad I'm retired from it as the change over the 30 years I was in was interesting. i'm not sure what is going to happen should the brown stuff hit the whirl thing.

I Know. They Snowflak-afied the military like almost everything else.

Its changed a ton since basic in 2001.

You think it changed since 2001. I did basic in 1969 . We practically trained with muskets.

Lol. '85 and onward here but air force basic training is a lot different than the other branches.

Also airforce security forces.

Gotta hang onto your sense of humor, right?

I didn't know your total situation. Your mom and wife's health is more important then trying to get back home.

We are trying to find a room closer, but attempts so far have been futile. Almost had one 30 miles from home, but they refused my sixty pound dog. Their limit for pets is 40 pounds. Is that pretty heartless, or what? Days Inn if anyone is interested (In a rural town no less). Another hotel wanted to charge us $140 a night and an additional $150 a night for our dog. W T F is wrong with people?
