I do appreciate the few who actually stop by here daily², but ...
Be back in a day or so, or not. This blogging thing is becoming wearisome.
Perhaps I'm just in a bad mood.
We'll see what a good night's sleep does.
Going on the road Sunday, grandchildren are involved. Might help my morale.
Who knows?
Ciao.
¹ I n a bad mood, maybe ...
² All 90 of you as of 1830 Friday ...
Enjoy those grandkids Sarge and keep an eye out for those other drivers on the trip, driving skills for so many have gone out the window since the Pandemic. Nobody Sarge? We, the few.......the tired....the sore.....(spent yesterday working in the yard and clearing/prepping the garden out)......the bifocaled......read this site every day and give thanks for all the thought and effort put into this blog.........:)
ReplyDeleteYou have to do what's best for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteBut l'm reminded of an anecdote by RA Heinlein. He started writing to pay off his mortgage. Task accomplished, he stopped writing. After about a month he was feeing out of sorts. He mentioned it to one of the circle of friends who were also SiFi writers. "Do you know any retired writers?" the friend asked. "What's that got to do with it?" "Well, you know retired accountants, retired doctors, etc. but no retired writers." "So?" "Once you start writing, it gets in your blood, it's an addiction. We can't NOT write." A few weeks later, he started writing again, suddenly all was good with the world.
I think you're still adjusting to being retired.
Is a writer a writewright?
I’m here every day! I don’t comment much, true. But I find the military fiction entertaining and educational, and it often prompts me to do more reading.
ReplyDeleteSarge,
ReplyDelete1) Stick forward
2) Ailerons and rudder neutral
3) If not recovered, maintain full forward stick and deploy drag chute.
Out of control Bold Face for “Our” jet, the F-4. Worked to get the Phantom back under control. It’s been my mental mantra to get things back under control when events are spinning out of it. Had to memorize it exactly as printed in the Dash-1. Haven’t forgotten it still.
Translated— Hang in there Sarge. Things will get better. Take some R&R, you’ve earned it!
“juvat out!”
I hope Mr. Heinlin is write, or whatever. However, you and your family come first and we will survive. Trying to track Virgil in the real world. I believe that I did it a few years ago, but I have no notes and no memory. I will keep trying for a while and see what comes up. Mark
