What Cheered You Up Today?

[michael rauls]

Just got done watching Midway. Imo, it was really, really good. Ya there were a few things wrong here and there but really enjoyed it. Thought they struck a good balance between allowing you to witness a historical event and was also, I believe entertaining enough for the average joe with just a passing knowledge of the war or even none at all.

Talked to the vet and we were both quite surprised to find that the slowly increasing anemia that my dog's bloodwork has shown for the last 3.5 years has cleared up. All is normal. I can only assume it is due to the "senior" dog food I switched her to a couple of months back. She'll be 15 years old in June but maybe she'll hang around for a while longer.

That's a grand doggie bed she's got!

Found out today that the powers that be have agreed to give us a German Seehund mini sub I found for the CF. It's one of seven left.

She's beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MIflyer]

She's a mix of a Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Labrador Retriever and I can confirm that is a very good combination indeed, especially if you want to run with your dog.

Finally got my file upload abilities back after not being able to almost three months. A half a dozen or so Pilot's Notes awaiting to be uploaded to the forum including the huge B-36 one

 

[MIflyer]

Oh, good! I have the B-36J model dash one and recently got one for the XB-35.

Ran across this about 15 years ago, and came across it in my files yesterday. Possibly it has already been posted somewhere on this forum, but if not, enjoy.

British Military Performance Evaluations
The British Military writes EPR's (officer fitness reports). The form used for Royal Navy and Marines fitness reports is the S206. The following are actual excerpts taken from people's "206's"....
- His men would follow him anywhere, but only out of curiosity.
- I would not breed from this Officer.
- This Officer is really not so much of a has-been, but more of a definitely won't-be.
- When she opens her mouth, it seems that this is only to change whichever foot was previously in there.
- He has carried out each and every one of his duties to his entire satisfaction.
- He would be out of his depth in a car park puddle.
- Technically sound, but socially impossible.
- This Officer reminds me very much of a gyroscope - always spinning around at a frantic pace, but not really going anywhere.
- This young lady has delusions of adequacy.
- When he joined my ship, this Officer was something of a granny; since then he has aged considerably.
- This Medical Officer has used my ship to carry his genitals from port to port, and my officers to carry him from bar to bar.
- Since my last report he has reached rock bottom, and has started to dig.
- She sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.
- He has the wisdom of youth, and the energy of old age.
- This Officer should go far - and the sooner he starts, the better.
- In my opinion this pilot should not be authorized to fly below 250 feet.
- This man is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.
- The only ship I would recommend this man for is citizenship.
- Works well when under constant supervision and cornered like a rat in a trap.

Cracking bluebird powder day!

 

[rochie]

Start of 8 days of work and off on a 3 day walking trip in Northumberland, hopefully the start of me getting rid of some excess weight

 

[Airframes]

Don't overdo it then Red Two - just 60lb in the bergen, and only two mags of 7.62, and keep it short per day, just 30 miles in 6 hours per day should be gentle enough ............

 

[Bucksnort101]

Nice looking doggie

Finally broke down and saw a hand surgeon and am going to have surgery to get rid of the trigger finger issue I've been having with my right ring finger for nearly two years. I will hopefully finally be able to flip people the bird with my right hand while driving for a change, soon.

 

[Gnomey]

Another cracking days skiing...
