We had a safe landing

These kids live in Taranto, Italy  I was joking with them They were outside a candy store, kids are the same the world over.

So for today

We drove straight thru except for stopping twice to give ‘Flying J truck stop’ some money. Do you keep up with gas mileage on your car or truck?  My navigator Sherry does.  I am  Very disappointed in our gas mileage, we get about 6,5 miles to a gallon.  On the Diesel we averaged about 8 MPG.  But since gas cost is now much less than diesel, I guess the cost is about even.

The trip was uneventful until the last 12 miles. I did a big NO NO but made it out okay. I ran a red light with our rig. IN MY DEFENSE, we were approaching an intersection that WAS ONCE a ‘T’ at the traffic light. Back then you had to turn right or left. I saw the green GO light and started my turn, before realizing the turn light was RED. So I made a left turn on RED. But since no traffic was involved, I made it fine.

BUT still it gave me cause to BE MORE CARFUL.

Anyway we are at our NC home. I have some BIG limbs down and a lot of work in that area.  I get to use my burn pit, I enjoy the outside fires.  It is similar in mind easing to watching a water fall. I do enjoy both.

Take care and all y’all try to be good!

PS:  Thank all of you that read here. I enjoy comments and appreciate it when I read them.Plane leaving the angle catapult  and below that is a plane coming in for a landing. You have to give those carrier pilots credit for skil landing on a moving runway..

The planes had a tail hook and the deck has three heavy cables to catch them. If he misses all three he MUST give it every thing for power and take off again. I never did see that happen.
