I like the old A-4s... I knew an old A-4 pilot once who used to come down to the health spa under the Shores, and we'd talk about various military aircraft. The Warthogs I see nowadays fly out of Fort Huachuca, which is the last major electronic listening post the U.S. has in the Lower 48, or so I heard. Discounting satellites, I suppose. I remember seeing the A-10 Thunderbolts back in the day, those were great infantry support planes... not as fast as their big brothers, but heller maneuverable in tight quarters. As an old skateboarder, I've always appreciated maneuverability, LOL...
My car is now clean, inside & out, and I feel better about tomorrow's interview, even if the hiring folks never see the car. I once had a friend whose dad was a big wheel at B.F. Goodrich, the tire company, he was VP or whatever... well, this older VP dad told my friend that when it came to renting out properties, once you were done talking to prospective tenants, you should walk 'em out to their vehicle and surreptitiously get a look inside their rig. If it was all trashed out, well, that was the way they'd probably treat your rental unit, LOL. I always thought that was a funny way to make your decision...
And who knows whether one of the recruiters won't see me in the parking lot? It's okay to drive an older rig, as long as the older rig is WELL-MAINTAINED, and NOT some friggin' BEATER, LOL. In fact, many folks here drive older cars, some in immaculate showroom condition... I just want my old Camry to look alright in the lot, and NOT look like some rolling wreck, 10-4? I even went to the trouble of laying out my clothing and polishing ye olde work boots... well, not really polishing them, but applying leather conditioner. First impressions are important during interviews, all else can be overcome, LOL.
Anyway, I'm making turkey soup this evening out of the T-Day bird, and my home smells wonderful... it's almost time to strain the bones out of the soup and start adding the veggies, which I'll do here in a moment. Later, a big bowl of turkey scraps and some large elbow macaroni will be added to the mix, in that order. Hey, if Godzilla tears up my double-wide tonight, you'll know the reason... for those youngsters who aren't familiar with Godzilla, he was a ginormous fake dinosaur (actually a man in a zippered suit acting like a monster in front of the camera). Probably dating myself here...
Y'all be good, I'm off to get things done in the kitchen, it's a great place to hang out right now with all the righteous cooking aromas, LOL. I'll watch a movie later as I mack a big ol' bowl of this soup, it's always DEE-LICIOUS and it brings back great memories of years past, 10-4??? And with the pasta added toward the end of the cooking process, each bowl of soup is like a meal in itself... I used rice as a soup filler in years past, but I've come to like the pasta better, though I'll still use rice now & then for nostalgic purposes. Pasta is more filling, this soup won't suck when I'm done with it, LOL... CHEERS!!!
