Morning all,

Headed to 86 here today.  A walk this morning, probably more mowing and a trip to order tires for my vehicle are on the docket today.   Bad day at work yesterday as the other provider went home ill.  Hopefully she's back tomorrow when we work again. 

Here's a lineup of Skyraiders from the airshow.  I had a patient in private practice who flew these in Vietnam and was amazed I knew about them as they are kind of a forgotten warbird.

Morning All,

I'm planning to work from home today and devote a couple of hours to the layout. We'll see if it works out as planned...Basically, a month until the NNGC in St. Louis and I'd like to get there on a wave of layout progress (makes the shopping more enjoyable).

Anyone else going?

Good morning everyone.

Spokane weather: A 40 percent chance of showers, mainly between 8am and 5pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 78.

Jeff, thanks for another interesting photo.

Taking it easy today after doing a 13 mile hike yesterday.
Only plan today is to visit downtown Spokane.

Have a great day everyone.

Rd #2 of PT today,  did my morning moves, oooh my.     Looking for positive results, soon hopefully. 

Pleasant, less smoke, day on hand in MI, but humid. 

Enjoy the day all.

Enjoyed the Skyraiders, most I remember were Camo.  They're huge machines.  Sort of an A-10 of their time.

Yeah, that's what I thought when I saw Dr Jeff's picture...   In my view, USAF is -deficient- in not having a dedicated CAS platform.  The idea that you'd risk F-35 "in the mud" just doesn't make sense.  Now that could well be a drone mission, if manned CAS platforms really are as unsurvivable as the Chair Force claims....  I don't think you'll meet a ground pounder combat vet (Army/Marines) who has anything bad to say about the Hawg.
