Just another day in paradise

It has been HOT! Earlier this week it was 107 degrees. I think I believe in global warming. I am one of the official photographers at the museum and I had to shut down the flight deck photos when it reached 90 in the Spruce Goose. We're supposed to cool off next week to the mid 80's.

We got a new plane! Actually 2 planes. A Mig 21 came in three weeks ago and a 747-100 landed at the McMinville airport last week. They moved it across the street and parked it in front of the I-Max theatre and removed the engines. It's BIG! Hopefully they will let the volunteers go through it soon. I want to see the cockpit.

Me and the beloved are planning to go to San Fran later this month with our 9 yr old granddaughter for a week. We take one of them each summer to a place of their choice. Last year we went to the Grand Canyon with Austin. The year before we went to San Diego with Nick and went to the Zoo and Sea World. Also checked out the San Diego Air Museum. Not bad. Lots of old aircraft. Too crowded though. Lots of diaramas. I still think we have the best Air museum on the west coast.

Later, in Sept. we're going to Missouri to visit my Aunt and Uncle in Independence. He's going to turn 86 this year and I want to see him before it's too late. He's in good health, but 86 is pushing the envelope a little.

All for now.
