Nothing special...

The other day I had a job to do down in Vail, Arizona and on my way back decided to stop at a tool store and get some router bits. So I took a detour and took a road I haven't driven on yet. As I'm driving along, I see airplane tail fins sticking up in the air in the distance, "wth is that?" I wonder, then it hits me, I'm about to pass by the extreme west end of the Davis Monthan Airforce base. They have a rather large airplane graveyard (if the link doesn't do it for you, up in the upper right hand corner, hit they hybrid button) there full of all kinds of military jets and other aircraft. Being the plane freak that I am, I had to stop and take a look. So I parked the truck on the side of the road, and climbed up the 30' embankment to a chain link fence that was plastered with the "U.S. Airforce installation, no tresspassing, violators can be shot", well, I think we will just take our pictures from the safe side of the fence.











They lose something through the chain link fence, and its sad seeing them all covered with whatever it is they use to patch them after they take that part off to keep another plane in the air, but still pretty cool to see up close like that in person. I can't wait for big Mike to get down here so we can go to the Air and Space Museum, thats going to be awesome. They have the planes set up there so you can go right up to them and check them out, they even have an SR-71 Blackbird there, if you don't know what that is, here's a pic from the web for reference:


Yes, it might not be pretty, but it hauls serious ass. In fact, its the fastest plane ever built. 50% faster than the Concorde cause I know you doubted me and thought there was no way it was faster than that thing. This sucker set a speed record once with a flight from L.A. to Washington D.C. total flight time....68 minutes!

Anyway, that's enough geek talk out of me for today. Elliot is growing like a weed! I swear in the last week he has grown an inch, maybe more. His 4th tooth has finally popped through, and if his sleeping schedule last night was any indication, he has another one coming right on its heels.

Business could be "alot" better. Things have really slowed down, stupid holidays! Hopefully they will pick up and soon. I've put off getting a 2nd job for as long as I can, but I think that ship has sailed and its time to seriously start looking for something, which means I'll have to find something at night, or something that starts in the middle of the night and gets me off work by mid afternoon so I can still get jobs done for the business. Should be fun trying to find something like that. Well, its time to get the day started, hope everyone is doing well. Crystal should be posting new pix of Elliot any day now, the camera is ready to explode she has so many photos on there.

Oh, and we will be up in P-Town December 20th thru the 28th, so if you want to get together, call us, email us, send us smoke signals, something.
