Pitchpull: The Cruise, Part II

http://pitchpull.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-cruise-part-ii.html

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. The Cruise, Part II. The best laid of plans-. Sara Jean LOVES purses. She has a collection of 'em hanging on the door of the guest bedroom. Coach Dooney and Burke. Kathy Van Zieland. Bruce Whatever'isname is. When you open that door, it's heavy enough to make you look at what is causing the considerable effort to open it. There's a LOT of money hanging back there. Protecting the camera was of utmost importance. UH-OH" I heard my beloved say.

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. Does your new car have a dipstick to check your automatic transmission fluid? He had taken his new car in to have its initial checkup performed. Before he left the dealership he read the paperwork to see what work they had done. Check transmission fluid" and "Check power steering fluid" were not checked on the checklist. Why didn't you check those? Their answer surprised him. The owner's manual reinforces what his dealer told him. Its gettin...

Pitchpull: Walkees!

http://pitchpull.blogspot.com/2015/03/walkees.html

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. We've now been in Phoenix three months. We were concerned we'd hate it. Ya can't really get a sense of a place until you've spent more than a couple weeks there. Three months gives ya a pretty good taste. The fact that we're already talking about coming back in the Fall says everything you need to know. Midway during our walk, about a month ago we started smelling the most intoxicating fragrance. It was so reminiscent of Honeysuckle it m...

Pitchpull: "Now Hiring"

http://pitchpull.blogspot.com/2015/03/now-hiring.html

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. We've been walking a lot here. We first noticed it at the "Wendy's" we walked to-. Help wanted. All positions.". The next day we walked to "Del Taco". On the front door was a sign- "Now Hiring". A little later we ate at "Golden Corral". Wait don't get ahead of me now! And it's not just the fast food joints. The Home Depot just down the block is also begging for help. No Of course not. What have we become? There needs to be a strong social sa...

http://pitchpull.blogspot.com/2015/03/friday-13th-patriot-guard-ride.html

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. Friday the 13th Patriot Guard Ride. Retired. We no longer set the alarm. No matter when I get horizontal, I normally wake about 0730. As I did this morning. Into our "sitting room" with my cuppa to check my email and not bother Sara Jean, I prided myself on being considerate for about four minutes. She and Lucy were upandat'em too. I may as well have gotten SJ's coffee when I poured mine. This morning, about 20 members of the Veteran's famil...

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. Hillary Vs. Jeb in '16? Is this the best we can do? It's no wonder we're all angry with one another. If, in 2016, I have a choice between Hillary and Jeb, I'm voting for Hillary. Seriously! Given the choice between being beheaded and being shot while attempting escape, I'll choose the latter.). I really hope Elizabeth Warren jumps into the fray, and chooses Ward Churchill as her running mate. Vomits forcefully across the room.). The second t...

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. Ignorance, Or The Presence of Evil? Long-term readers are aware of my frequently-updated post. There, I ask WHY entertainers are willing to alienate fully HALF the folks that might be interested in buying their produce by openly expressing their political views. Do they have the right to do it? The post immediately before this one is an example. In continuing to promote the truth. (! Rather nodded and tried to act humble. How did we get here?

Pitchpull: January 2015

http://pitchpull.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. American Sniper"- My Thoughts. I watched it through Taya Kyle's eyes. I watched it through my Wife's eyes. I watched it through my Son's eyes. And I watched it through the eyes of an old aviator/warrior whose job once was to provide lethal protection for our troops from above. It's a great PRO warrior movie. It's a great ANTI-WAR movie. I think it may be the most powerful movie I've seen. Links to this post. I SHOULD NOT Have Shown Her This:.

Musings about life through the eyes of an old helicopter pilot. You've not updated your Blog in quite a while", my friend said. In many ways it's been a tough year for the Old Man. I retired January of 2013. My business partner of 26 years died Spring of 2013. His wife had no interest at all in picking up his work, so we sold the business. My Mother died a couple months later. This Spring we sold the Condo we've owned in Destin since 2000. So, there have been MAJOR changes in our life. I LOVED my work.
