red bull air race in san diego

we went to the red bull air race it was really fun and it wouldn't take much to make it a bad day the way they were so close to the ground and making really sharp turns in the bay of San Diego one mistake would've been costly but it didn't happen thankfully and they were racing against the clock and they had to go through the course 2 times which took them about a minute and a half and it was all over and had to wait for the next plane to come in and try it but while you were waiting they had a helicopter doing tricks like a roll upside down which to me is kind of loony but they must have had some kind of special rotor head that would keep them in the air or the pilot was really good because i know if we tried that in our birds we'd be pulled to the earth faster then gravity but it was a good time and we got our eyes full of some spectacular pilots also they had the military doing several fly bys in f-18's S-3's prowlers and a couple other ones and also did some in flight refueling showing off what they can do

well we're headed home again

well in about 4 days we'll be heading home for another wedding on Sep 15 for one of my good friends we'll be flying home on weds and staying till the following weds looking forward to seeing everyone and having some good rest and relaxation maybe even go fishing would love to do that it's been a while since we've done that well we have my in-laws staying with us tonight to take them to the airport so they can go on a Alaskan cruise for a week I'm sure they'll have a good time i guess what got them interested in cruises is the one dinner cruise we took them on in the San Diego bay where they have a 7 course meal and go around the bay which is really nice well that's about all the news i have for now will tell ya about our visit home when we get back

Rachelle's birthday

well unfortunately since our squadron was reworking the way we do work i had to work part of the day till about noon for a safety stand down where they talk about safety issues that are going on but after my division officer found out it was her birthday he decided to take us out for lunch and buy for us and the rest of my shop he suggested that we go to Dicks Last Resort which is a little different kind of restaurant the waiters and waitresses are rude to you and you are to be rude back it was a little different then we were used too but fun. Divo's bill when it was all over buying food for everyone and drinks the bill had to be close to 400$ which was very nice of him to do and we had a very good time after we went to go see a movie and dinner at olive garden with some friends we have out here that we hang out with all the time and had a very nice evening also so that was Rachelle's birthday till next time
