Riding The Midnight Bus

By Todd on February 28, 2010

Riding The Midnight Bus
This is a Big post. Not really a lot of places that are withing walking distance of each other. We are fortunate to have our own truck, but the majority of the people here on COB Adder get around via one of the many buses that constantly make their way around the base. I had to ride the bus for about 2 weeks when I first got here. I didn't really ..read more

How Forecasters Really Guess The Weather (Humor)

By Todd on February 12, 2010

How Forecasters Really Guess The Weather (Humor)
For some you non-weather people (most who read this blog actually), this joke may be a little "inside baseball", so I apologize in advance. But I know at least a few of my facebook friends are fellow Air Force weather forecasters, and might appreciate this. Then again, I bet most of you actually suspect that this is how we come up with our weather guesses anyway ... The following is taken from ..read more

Super Bowl Monday In Iraq

By Todd on February 8, 2010

Super Bowl Monday In Iraq
The Super Bowl party over here took place overnight, into very early Morning. If you wanted to see the game live, you had to stay up all night, and go to your unit's designated "party" area. But for many it was worth it ... not only to see the game, but because this is the one time of year where we get Real Beer. Every person got to have two beers ..read more

UH-60 BlackHawk – It’s All About Where You Sit

By Todd on February 1, 2010

UH-60 BlackHawk - It's All About Where You Sit
I really didn't intend to take a lot of pictures of aircraft for project365. But it seems like every time I have the 70-200F4L lens on my camera, an airplane or helicopter flies by, and the scene is just a bit too interesting to pass up. In this case, it was a UH-60 Blackhawk flying low over the setting sun, right between a couple of radio towers. And even better, after I ..read more

Do Drink The Water

By Todd on January 24, 2010

Do Drink The Water
A deployment trip to the desert is one of the few tropical travel destinations where you are most definitely Encouraged to drink the water ... lots of it. And they make it real easy for us. All around the post, there are pallets full of bottled water, free for the taking. Plus, most offices, rec centers, and the gyms have coolers where you can also get a nice cold bottle. Reminding ..read more

Mitsubishi L200 Pickup – I Like This Truck

By Todd on January 23, 2010

Mitsubishi L200 Pickup - I Like This Truck
For the past 3 1/2 months, I've been cruising around our base in the little Mitsubishi pickup truck that you see pictured above. It's by no means the biggest, fastest, or strongest truck around. But it is fun to drive. It's got a little diesel engine, 5 speed manual transmission, and shift on the fly 4 wheel drive. It seats 4 or 5 of us relatively comfortably, and when we need ..read more

Tequila + C130 Flight = Very Bad Day

By Todd on January 22, 2010

Tequila + C130 Flight = Very Bad Day
For you non-military types, this is a picture of a C-130 Hercules. It's a plane that's been flying, in one form or another, since before I was even born. And still today, it remains a workhorse ... especially for intra-theater airlift. But that's not the reason I chose it as my picture of the day. You may have noticed the title of this blog post up above. Yes, there's a story ..read more
