MOUNT FUJI FLYBY Two Marine Corps helicopters, an AH-1Z Viper and UH-1Y Venom, fly past Mount Fuji, Shizuoka, Japan, March 12, 2017. The helicopters are assigned to Marine Light Attack Helicopter Squadron 267, which is supporting Marine Aircraft Group 36, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing and 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force. The Marines validated the long-range capability of auxiliary fuel tanks on their H-1 platform helicopters by flying 314 nautical miles during one leg of the four-day mission. The extended range is crucial to maintaining a stronger, more capable forward-deployed force in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Andy Martinez

You should have packing down pat for the shoot. LOL!!

Sorry to hear it was so rough this week. At least you got through the worst part. I feel for the guy who’s not going to get paid due to someone else’s foul-up. At least you discovered it so you have his hours on hand whenever they figure out who it was.

[radu]

Yes, the fields are pretty drab when they’re empty and I never look forward to it. But knowing they’ll be green again the next spring gives something to look forward to. :-)

I DID know about the Tetons having snow. Saw it on the cams in your channel yesterday. BRRRRR! You sure you want to go up there? LOL! No telling what the weather will be like next month.

[luvie]

LOL! I might just take the same stuff...just clean it up and put it back in the case. Will save me having to think about it. :)

[luvie]

I know, huh! I have been watching it closely. However, I ain’t wasting that money for the tickets, so a coat will be part of the wardrobe I take. :) And sweats. And sox.

The worst part is coming back to this heat after being away from it for a week. LOL!

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone this morning?

[radu]

Yeah, you’ll need a suitcase for warm weather clothes and one for cold weather clothes. LOL! There’s no telling what you’ll encounter while you’re up there.
I had to giggle this afternoon when I watched the Grand Targhee Resort Plaza cam for a couple of minutes. One young girl was walking around in shorts and a t-shirt, a couple of people wore shorts and long sleeves, and one guy had on a fairly heavy jacket and long pants. Guess it all depended on if you grew up in the north or in the south. :-)

Going back home to the TX heat will be rough, no doubt!

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Were you and Gizmo able to get out to the lake yesterday?

I keep meaning to ask but always forget .... did you ever get the bathroom sink drain unplugged?

[luvie]

It’s amazing the difference in how people up there dress. I see it when I watch the city square one, too.

I’ll be the one with long pants and a coat. LOL! Unless it’s warmer than I think it will be during the day. Nights? I’m stayin’ in. :)

[radu]

More than likely, what with tourists going there, the heavier the clothing, the further south the person is from. LOL

It might warm back up and be comfortable while you’re there. Ya never know this time of year. But you’ll be ready for whatever’s thrown at you.

[E.G.C.]

I'm going to get to it (Bathroom sink) after I get my driver's license taken care of. It's up for renewal next month.

Gizmo and I had a great time out at Wichita Ridge yesterday. Today, my sister from the city is coming down for a visit later today. We plan on doing Chisolm Trail Park later today.

[radu]

Fun, fun - - driver’s license renewal time. I hope you don’t get stuck waiting in line there like we do here. Such a pain.

Sounds like you have a good time ahead today. Have a nice visit with your sister.

[left that other site]

LOL! :-)

[luvie]

Last year, it would get comfortably warm during the day and then chill down into the low 50s at night. But that was in August, and they didn’t get as much snow as normal last year.

It’ll be interesting and I’m sure looking forward to the cooler weather and that crystal clear air! AND seeing my wonderful kids!

[luvie]

...or 4 AM.
And that's why I didn't get up till after 10 AM. LOL!
That's my story...and I'm stickin' to it!
Hope y'all got lots of rest
...because the weekend is on the way!
You gotta be ready for it!
Any fun plans out there?
Have a GREAT day!
(((((hugs)))))
