Leaving On a Jet Plane...Turning East, Then North

Tomorrow I'll be sitting in my very first Congressional Staffer briefing out in D.C.. Once again I will be schlepping for money for my program. It's only the most important program on the Urgent Requirements list to the Warfighters out in the field at the moment, yet I have to scrape, beg, and plead for pennies on the dollar to keep this thing rolling.

"So, you don' wanna gif me any money for my little friend??!!"


Sometimes I wonder how we ever got off the ground as an Air Force. "Gee Orville and Wilbur, we really like your flying contraption there, and we desperately need it for our Army, but we don't want to pay you anything for it."

After that I'll be running away to Alaska for 5 days. Taking the laptop, so I should be writing some interesting stuff and taking lots of pictures up there as usual. Not going to be too much fun since the wife and kids couldn't make it with me this time.

If for some reason I get taken out by a moose or a rabid bear, Tumbleweed... you've got the helm. Treat her well, and give her a tune-up every couple hundred posts.

Ahhh, too bad it's not salmon season yet.

Cheers!
