Don't ask......it hasn't started well (except that the Giants won the playoff game and it was Aunt Gloria's birthday yesterday).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope the boys take you out for some fun.

Whidbey is a great place. Seattle is 40 miles and a ferry ride away (from the southern part of the island).

[Kathy in Alaska]

God Bless you good, Mac. Good night and rest well. Thanks for helping honor our troops, past and present. Thank you for your service to our country.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Mac, for the Missing Man Setting as we remember those who have given their all that we may gather safe and secure.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Nana Hope, for today's Pledge…((HUGS)). Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue tribute.

Hope your commute had minimal traffic and smooth sailing. Any critters lately? *HUGS*

Good evening, Sand...((HUGS))...great cake!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Welcome to the Canteen, Western Phil...thanks for sharing your memories.

The air station also maintains a Search and Rescue Unit, flying the UH-3H Sea King helicopter, as well as two UC-12 Huron aircraft for operational support airlift and fleet logistic support.

That's incorrect as the link you posted, as well as the photo, indicates. The SAR birds are MH-60S.

Also, you're still posting the flags in the incorrect order.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Also, you're still posting the flags in the incorrect order.

And as I have repeatedly told you, every time you post this same thing, I know that they are slightly out of order, and I have chosen to take "poetic license".

[Kathy in Alaska]

I had to wait til I got home from work to see the picture....love that boat! Great picture.
Thanks for sharing.

[Kathy in Alaska]

We thank you for your service to our country.

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

military, our allies, and their families

Thank you, Lauren, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
Sorry you are under a heavy work schedule.

Washington state is a beautiful place.
I love that they have the ferry system
which we do not have around here.
Don't remember if I've visited this base before.

~ Today...Areas of fog this morning.
Sunny. Highs in the lower 50s.
West winds 5 to 10 mph.

~ Tonight... Mostly clear in the evening...
Then becoming partly cloudy.
Lows in the mid 30s.
North winds around 5 mph.

Oh boy
did we have a strange weather pattern in the last 24 hours.
Started with light snow flurries yesterday, late morning-ish.
Tapered off for a bit
then started heavy again by the time I left work.
We got about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, maybe.
If it hadn't been so warm, we might have had more
since it snowed up until 6-ish.
Can't remember the last time it snowed
like that when it was 35-36 degrees out.

Woke up this morning to foggy conditions
and temps around 33.
Fog not so bad that you couldn't see the vehicles in front of you
but it made slow going.
Roads were good shape, though.
And as you can see from above
we'll be in the lower 50s by the afternoon.

Time to make my rounds and then back to work.
But, you stay right where you are.
Don't touch that dial. And, remember – I’ll be watching!

The FR Canteen is ALWAYS

Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee,
tea,
pancakes,
conversation,
silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM
