So it's been quite a while since I've blog. That's my bad. I guess I should try and catch anyone who might be reading this up.
First of all I had a big crash on my bike a while back. For me it was really just scary but for my bike, well it got banged it up pretty good. I had to take it into the shop. The guy said that I had bent the gear thingy and a few other bent things too.
The reason I got scared is cause I crashed near a drop off, and if I had fallen it well I would be a lot worse for ware.
The dreaded place is called Monty's Bridge, as you can see from the picture we took of the sign that had fallen down.
This was the best angle we could get to show you that is a rock bridge that make sort of a V shape, and the drop off. It really isn't that great of a picture but oh well. Needless to say I still have a hard time at this place whenever we go biking.
In other news...
at the beginning of the month we had a huge air show here on base to celebrate the B1. (it was like the 25th year it has been flying or something like that, I can't really remember) It was pretty awesome. There were a ton of planes to look at and when the actual show started it got really cool. Most of it was just showing off the B1 and a few other planes like this picture.
This is Carrier plane family. The small one in front was like the for-runner of what would eventually become the C-130 (the plane Ricky works on), which is the middle sized plane. The big one I can't really remember what it was except that it's a carrier and that it's the same model of plane that they used in Transformers 2 (the one they used to drop Optimus out of).
The next really cool thing at the air show was the sort of reenactment of pear harbor that they did. It was intense and very cool to watch. They had a few of these small WW2 era planes flying around in such a way as to almost give the impression that they were bombing something, and being chased by other planes, while a guy told the entire story over the loud speaker thingy.
They even had pyrotechnics. That made it even more real.
It was all really cool to watch and really sad at the same time.
After this part of the show ended I was pretty much exhausted. (I've been getting a lot more hours at work and most if not all of them were early shifts) I accidentally fell asleep and didn't wake up till the B1 started flying by again. It's really loud and when it's going really fast really close it can make the ground vibrate. Because I fell asleep I got an amazing sunburn that made it so that I couldn't make facial expressions without it hurting, for about a week.
The final thing at the air show and the thing pretty much everyone was there for was the Thunderbirds. They are an elite flying group that travels around showing the skills it takes to be a fighter pilot and what these planes can do. It was really cool, and totally worth staying for.
That's pretty much how life has been here. Ricky and I go biking a lot, I work a lot, Ricky works a lot. Life is life.
Oh wait we did just find out that Ricky was chosen to be in Honor Guard. If you don't know what that is don't feel bad cause to be honest I really don't either. What I do know (or what I actually remember from when my husband was telling me about it) is that they are usually the guys who fire the riffles at the military funerals. They do have some other stuff that they do but I didn't really understand what and I'm not entirely sure what Ricky will actually be doing (besides traveling for the next 2-3 months). Hopefully I'll get more information about it when he goes in for training. And hopefully I'll get better at blogging regularly.
