I May Lose My Man-Card

The lawn is filling in nicely
It helps if you buy the flowers already planted

My "still life" addition (It works too)

It has been a good week but I am a little worried about becoming too feminine. Yesterday Mom and I went shopping as usual and we ended up at Applebees for lunch. I ordered a Ceasar salad and French Onion soup instead of the usual Cowboy Burger. I have also been looking for something to add pizazz to the front flower beds. I was looking for the right watering can and finally found this one at Spence Hardware here in Moscow.

Spring (nearing Summer) is finally starting to peek through. It still rains about 3 days a week but it is getting warmer and my thoughts are turning to camping. Two weeks till Fathers and Sons Outing. The neighbors are all out working in their yards and I have been enjoying visiting with the old ones and the new ones.

We had lunch at Seth and Lacey's. They wanted to break in their new barbecue. The weather cooperated and we had a nice lunch.

I feel even older as I see all you young people running races, but, I don't envy you one little bit. Good job and keep up the good work.

Mom only has 12 more days of school and then look out "Summer Vacation Begins".

I heard an add on the radio for a free airshow out at Andrew's Air Force Base, so yesterday Kelly and I went out to take a look. Along with the flying, they had a bunch of airplanes and helicopters sitting around that you could walk through and look at. An F-18 did a fly-by and a bunch of tricks right in front of the crowd (remember in Top Gun when Maverick says, "I'll hit the brakes and he'll fly right by?" He did that). One of the coolest parts of the day was when they brought out these little single engine prop planes that left a trail of smoke as they flew. They pilots were crazy and did 15-20 spins in a corkscrew and ran the planes straight up until they stalled out and fell back to earth (you always wondered if they were going to control it again as it fell backwards towards the ground).

The Thunderbirds, unfortunately we had to leave before they flew.

An old Korean War era plane - F4U?

The Osprey - the props rotate and it flies like a helicopter or an airplane
