Winging It Daily

Six More Days

The Airman and I are heading to Hill AFB, Utah in six days. It should be a cramped fun adventure for father and son as we traverse the country in a Chevy Aveo. At least it is a 4 door. We have our packing list, shipping list, keep - but don't send list and throw away list. I can actually see some progress in my garage.The weather out there was 45 this morning. My kind of August weather. I'll have to toss a fleece jacket in with the shorts and t-shirts for the trip.

My cameras (digital and video are ready). I have extra memory and an extra battery.

Having dinner today with the whole family, FlxFlyer is doing well and Poochiegirl is also happy. The Mechanic and Pepper are coming over too (remember the red pitcher, lol).New website for Sunday Stills and Macro photos. I promise this is it. I will be taking this site down soon.

Sunday Stills - The Elements

Wow, this was a challenge. Figuring out what to use was hard.

Take a look at how everyone else interpreted the challenge at Sunday Stills. There are many discussions on the elements and what they consist of. I went with Earth, Wind/Air, Fire, Water as the basics with some sites listing metal and wood. I tried something different with posting mulitple shots too. Don't know if I really like it.I did go to the archives for these photos. Fire - our fireplace; Wood - Carving from Black Forest area in Germany; Earth/Metal - Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina; Wind/Air - Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina; Water - Bailey the Waterbug.

Another busy week for us. FlxFlyer is home and talking back to the TV - normal. The Airman is home on leave waiting to go to his first real assignment - the dining room is a mess - normal.

Sunday Stills - Fences

Sunday Stills challenge - fences. We have an escape attempt from one of the inmates and we have the old and new fence. The old is mine, the new belongs to the neighbor.

The Airman comes home this week. Some leave and then on to his first assignment in Utah. FlxFlyer is going in for surgery again this week and Poochiegirl is going to spend the night with us. Good eats for her, sorry dad, you'll have to wait until you get home.

It has been crazy to say the least around here. I did manage to almost finish a quilt hanger for Armywife. I'll post a shot once it is done.

Return of the Airman

The Airman will return in a few short days. Armywife is ready to fix his favorite foods. I'm ready to turn over his car. Did I mention we're doing a father son road trip to his next duty station in Utah. 2100 miles give or take a 100. Actually I'm looking forward to it. I'll fly back once he reports in.FlxFlyer is doing much better since his surgery last week. I believe he got a green light from the doctor today to resume normal life.

Sunday Stills - Aww Nuts

Crunched (pun intended) this one in to a busy week. For more shots, visit Sunday Stills Challenge Aww Nuts

These are raw peanuts, good for birds, squirrels and making boiled peanuts. That is a peanut butter jar and nutmeg tin behind the nuts.

Sunday Stills - Things with Wings

Here is my take on Sunday Stills Challenge - Things with Wings.

Not my planes, just an event near-by that we enjoy watching. Busy week last week and this one is starting just as busy.

Sunday Stills - Tri Color

I do believe I exceeded the 3 in tri colors for Sunday Stills Challenge. Ed said the more colors the better.
I have three pictures, starting with tins on our shelf in the kitchen, followed by two differing views of Bailey's Frisbee collection - note the lack of teeth marks. These are from the stash.

Chillin @ 105

Our heat index is a cool 105 right now. The dogs don't even want to stay outside. I got all of my yard work done this morning. Stayed in the shade the whole time and sweated like a pig.

How to cool off - run around like a fool, jump in pool, lay down in pool, get out and stand in front of fan.

Armywife made a great lunch and that was it for the afternoon. Just waiting to see if any storms get stirred up in this heat.

Sunday Stills - Water Tower

Armywife and I drove around town and found a couple of water towers. Not to many silos in these parts. We found this old one next to an old smokestack in an older part of Fayetteville. The second shot couldn't be left out. It has our hometown nicely painted for all to see. For more photos, go to Sunday Stills.
