Interests:Family, Travel,People,Flying,Vocal/Instrumental Music,Bible Prophesy,Current Events,Cooking, Eating ,Goofing Off, Fly-ins . +6 yrs. Same interests , more aches and pains , and good times to cause them. Still not much time to goof off , but do when possible .Regrets? ... I have some ,but am currently content beyond measure. Stay tuned for more next week . Spent some time at the track (Orange Show,Riverside Int. , Ontario Intl. , San Gabriel Valley Speedway , Saugus , Las Vegas) till I got more responsible . Tried some secondary ed. and got more responsibility , 3 more mouths to feed and keep well and dry and warm , cool and safe. Which requires MONEY,MORE , and MORE and MORE MONEY! Hence the mantra "I owe I owe , so , off to work I go....... , which gets harder and harder each year . But the GOOD LORD keeps us well and comfie. +7 years.... I know ,I said next week , but days seem to become seconds at this point on the merry-go-round ride.Guess Harry(Chapin)was fairly accurate about that foot-draging stuff.Need some high temp disc pads nailed to the ol' Niki's to even hope to see that next curve in the road. But a glance up and to the right in the rear-view can take the minds' eye off of the fenders clickin' the guard-rail posts back to a slower time , where we thought we'd never catch up with the dreams that kept us in this race to the goals we set for oun selves....... Well, it's off to Greenville Tx for an interview, 06/27/09.Just isn't much doing here in "Air Capitol of the World"! We've been busy cleaning up after some big wind that took some of the roof last month.Kerries' beau is settling into the USAF life here in Wichita.Aimee is tasting life on her own up in Lawrence (KU) and is bored to d...Expand for more
eath.We'll spend the 4th at the lake as we did last year. Well mates, that's me as I was "then" in '69!And as close to "now" as I'll come for present(profile picture- wise). Sorry for the smarmie look, but back then a mouth full of wires and bands didn't jibe with the "cool seniors" image. I was just getting my game face ready for the draft and boot camp grad pic. But "They" didn't invite me , and I wasn't interested in crashing #Washington's power-play party, so I didn't use it. But my hat's off to those of you who chose or were chosen to attend.Actually, in hind sight, it would've done me good to learn the discipline and sense of accomplishment you get from enduring hardship and difficulties, and just plane doing some things that you see no earthly reason for. But isn't that just life anyway? Six years more on the trail , 08/18/15 , and a lot of revs on the pony ride! Made it to the 40th reunion . Saw some old friends to have the rubber chicken with. Just not enough time allowed to get to everybody in conversation , but thats what Face Book is supposed to be about . Found a few of you on Classmates , and still trying to ferrite out some more contacts there . Turned around and found enough life gone to make the call to Social Security (kind of an oxymoron with the condition of the government now a days ) , and got the ball rolling in that game , even thug I'll be like Nancy Ricker ….. No rocking chair for me , EVER ! Can't afford one ! Kerrie's hubby and her first progeny Bexli Joy are at Misoua Japan , enjoying military life in every thing from extreme tropical humidity , to 3 foot snowfall.. Aimee has gone through one relationship and a move to Colorado Springs. But all in all , we're still hanging on to the reins . Things are moving faster in the body department., mostly down hill . Just got back from a hearing test that says I need something I can't afford rite now . And the old sciatica's acting up again. Still doing the daily "show up " at work . making 737 parts for you frequent fliers' comfort. Only fifteen thousand more characters left to tell my story , so I'll quit for now. Don't want to wear out your boredom bone! Markie Mapo , signing of for now.
