My deployed wife had some "work" done to her truck an it was just completed. Now it needs a 500 mile break in on her new suspension. Guess I'll have to suffer through and drive it around for her.

Ah, the humanity of it. And I got her Mothers Day gift, a Mossberg 535 12 ga.

Heard the unforgetable sound of the turboprops this afternoon and went outside to watch a C-130 approaching Mather at near drop altitude - and the memories flooded in.

Nice sir. Like a Huey, nothin' sounds like it. This time of year we get 3-ships of 130's over the house back & forth the nearby base DZ's or coming off shooting the NDB approach.

Had to contrast this year's photo-op of the POTUS with #1 grand-daughter (jeans/gray shirt) at a 4H flurry shoot. She's already on & about to bust the bird missed by the jogger-lookin' gal. She's a pretty quick study, overall genuinely fine kid, and could wax the POTUS on both the range and an oral argument where neither had a teleprompter.

Daughter's Graduation
Today I saw my daughter get her college diploma. She is 34 y/o, married with 3 children and working a part time job. Her mother and I, her husband and children are very proud of her. (Apparently she was listening to me when I was trying to instill that SF "Never Give Up" attitude.)

My wife gave birth (naturally) to our handsome 7 lb 6 oz 19 1/2 inch long baby boy this past Wednesday the 15th! She was in labor for only 5 hours after her water broke as well ! We're home now, and I got 'em both sleeping while I set up some of his high speed baby gear. I must say, looking at them both is the happiest thought I've had in a long time!
Son #1 with my first wife was over a decade ago, and I forgot exactly how much sleep you do NOT get while in the hospital
