Hey fuck you sir. You ever go to zorbaz when you were in MN? Swear they use lake water in their dough. Have to get the nachos and carve your mark into the table with your pocket knife
No, never heard of it. I just now checked, they existed back then but it was 40 yrs ago and I'd have remembered a "Mexican/Pizza Joint" esp a place that uses a "z" in place of every "s"

Smoke from the Dixie fire settled into the valley a bit, so far it hasn't gotten that bad here. Fire is at 217K acres, 21% contained. It rained a little over the area yesterday, not much, but anything helps. Wind should pick up from the SW this afternoon and clear us out, hopefully. Hoping the air tankers can fly today. Headed to 102 this afternoon.
Mornin.

Like this stuff? Did you ever get to fly in the bombers?

Yes, like that, kinda. Those are for infra red (heat seeking) missiles, the systems I mostly worked on were for radar guided missiles. Never flew in a bomber, we just loaded our systems into the aircraft and the pilot, or in the B-52 a EWO (Electronic Warfare Officer) operated them. I've ridden in mostly cargo aircraft as a passenger. Rode in a Huey once when the roads were bad in Kansas.

Very cool, I didn't know what you did when you were in the military. Did you ever work on a carrier? I got to sit in the cockpit of a CF18 at the CNE when I was a kid. I probably have a pic of it somewhere.
