Good Morning from Central Texas,
Nearly 5am, 33.3 degrees / 25.6 Dew point. Forecast chance of freezing rain then showers with a high of 39.

The USAF is reorganizing (beginning this year) into new system of Combat Wings, Air Base Wings, and Institutional Wings. This will be a phased approach taking at least a year to evolve.

The 24 Combat Wings (16 active, 8 reserve) will be the "units of action" for operational capabilities.

The Air Base Wings will support the Combat Wings with platform readiness and manage the installation operations.

The Institutional Wings will continue to provide essential support for the Air Force’s organize, train, and equip requirements, ensuring the long-term sustainability and development of the force.

The goal is to move away from the current system where Airmen are pulled from dozens of different units to fill out one expeditionary wing, only meeting and working together once they arrive in theater.

14 going to 44 and sunny. Already light outside...spring will get here one day.

Great job, Ron. Lot of work paid off.

Buppies, that's a lot of damage. Glad you got your power back.

Spike, sounds like a good reorg plan.

Son coming today with granddaughter...DIL went to Colorado to go snowshoeing with her best friend. We will likely get a good hike in the mountains.

Good Morning!!!! 43F @ 4:00AM. Partly cloudy. High 74F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.

Dinked around trying to get weather station software working yesterday, but no joy. Lost track of where the rest of the day went.

Headed north at first light. Have a few stops to make on the way, so it's gonna be a long one.

Hope everyone enjoys the weekend!

Good morning TBN!!

!8 this morning but supposed to get to 50 Under mostly sun. Warmth is coming. The whole weeks forecast is supposed to get to mid and upper 60s. I'm ready!!
Ran errands yesterday. Went to HF to get air over hydraulic jack for my press. They didn't have it so went to the Hickory store ( about 10 miles more) and they did. Ran a few other errands.
Stopped at a guys house at the end of the road. He has a lot of scrap in his yard. I had talked to him before. I got a piece of app 3' x 4' piece of plate from him Also some angle iron pieces and a nice piece of stretched steel for my torch cart project. We were both happy when I left.
Came home and started the mods to make the jack work but ran out of time in the day. I'll work on it some more today.
Still waiting on tank for the bridge but I'm not pushing much. It will happen in it's own time :)

Time for a second cup.
Everyone have a great and safe day!!

Good Morning,
Ct, 12 to start going to 34 ! Looks partly cloudy now, hoping sun wins but I don’t think so !

Ron, beautiful job on the pintle hitch ! Came out very nice !👍

One grandson is coming over at 8:30 this morning and I believe we are bringing him to basketball clinic for kids up to 5 yo at 10:00 ! Later this afternoon we are getting together with our friends across the street and going to a brewery for a beer and then out to dinner ! They are quite a bit younger than us , actually close to our kids age but great friends!

Hope to get a multi mile walk in before the basketball ball clinic ! Looking forward to those warmer temps they keep talking about ! 😉

Hope all have a good Saturday! 🙏

Happy Birthday George Washington! Should be a national holiday. Used to be.

Here's a little tidbit about him...Contrary to popular belief, George Washington's dentures were not made of wood. They were crafted from various materials, including human and animal teeth, ivory, and metal.

A few of his quotes...
- "If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter."
- "To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace."
- "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

Good Saturday Morning!

Coffee sure is one good way to start any day!
So I'm clocking in here with a prediction of snow flurries sometime this morning.
Currently 33° Cloudy with a chance of Rain/Snow. That is a surprise.
The 'feels like' temp is 24° with 8 mph winds out of the NNE gusting up to 16mph.
Humidity 75%

Two_bit you are underachieving temp wise worse than I am. Glad you got to station as fuel light came on. Good way to loose weight eating like that. So after today no new legislation can be introduce this session? Hope today went well.
No sir, they can file bills that have already been drafted for a while longer. Some get drafted then not filed. Yes, thank you, the entire week went very well. And if any weight loss is going to happen I hope it does soon. Have a great weekend mostly!

I promised a picture of hitch when I was done. It was a lot easier buying the parts than making it. I was checking height when I took pictures. Those military trailer hooks are at 32”.
Very nice looking hitch Ron!

@Buppies very sorry to hear about your wife. Continued prayers. Glad you got power back on. That is some serious looking tree damage.

Everyone have a great Saturday and say a prayer for our Nation!
