Good morning!!!!

[Bird]

Our older daughter was recently going through our old photos and found one I made with the cheap camera we had at the time. It was an attempt, and not too successful an attempt, to get a photo of the first men on the moon as it was broadcast and we were watching it on the first color TV we ever owned; a Penncrest from J.C. Penney that we had recently bought.

73 today high of 76 later. Stays below 85 for next few days. Nice.

Took youngest son to allergist yesterday. He had allergy testing done and that unfortunately came back negative. Doctor and us was hoping for some positive reactions. He has a mucus problem that we have been fighting for over 2 years. Waiting for him to out grow it or to get old enough for testing. Always suspected allergies because of family history. Doctor says she’s stumped. So she’s sending us to a pediatric pulmonologist. For lung testing and to see what’s going on. He’ll be 3 next week.

Met with the excavator operator this morning. He’ll be here next week to clear ground for the fences to the chicken coops. Will be bringing a 315L Caterpillar in. Looks like we’ve got about 40 hours of work planned out for him. While on our walk around he had me call the local power company to inform them of a dangerous tree. It’s big, living rotten, and right on their power line. Said he wasn’t comfortable messing with it, and to have them top it below their lines. Then he’d get it out. Power company said they’d come evaluate it.

Drew when’s delivery?

A cool damp 73, and I love it, some rain still to come looks like. What a relief after weeks of mid 90s.

Eric, we didn’t throw money at the project, we carefully built our way, step by step and we accomplished an amazing feat that no other country on earth was able to duplicate. It was done by exceptional people from all over the world with a single mindedness not often seen. It was done out of a necessity to avoid becoming subservient to the USSR. Was there pride involved? You bet your @$$ there was, still is. But that was only part of the equation.
Now if you want the best submarine, fighter plane or cruise missile who are you gonna turn to, not India, Russia, France or anyone but the USA. Give us a goal and a reason and watch what happens. Are we perfect, no but we get closer than most. And we pay the bills and often provide flesh and blood to defend those that won’t even pay their contracted NATO shares.
We might be big and sometimes boastful, but the free world better thank God for the United States of America!

Eric appears to be a very smart, well educated and glib member here.

I believe his comment was meant somewhat tongue in cheek and don’t believe he meant to offend anyone.

My earlier comment was made in good fun as well and I prefer to leave it that way.

We need many more members like him from the UK.
