First console was an Odyssey III (pong w/ 3 variants), but the one that hooked me was Intellivision. Later, NES, SNES & Genesis radicalized me even further. LOL

Commodore PET, the first computer I ever used in grade school. Always loved seeing one as a prop in one of my favorite movies!

Update: vet confirmed the crow will be transported to wildlife rehab after initial treatment, then released in the general area where it was found once (s)he’s healed up.

Took it to the local emergency vet, which is a wildlife trauma intake vet. Hoping the crow gets to a good wildlife rehab to heal.

It was a beautiful bird; vibrant bluish-black plumage. Wish I’d got pics, but that wasn’t the priority in the moment. Ah well…

Seaplane rating is a bucket list item for me. Cool consolation prize for your nonrev bad luck!

A few more photos from today’s flight. 🙂

I would absolutely eat this. Perhaps only once, but still…!

The haze layer yesterday looked gross, but apart from that it was a really nice flight to Big Bear! A bit bumpy on the flight back south, but the air smoothed out by Banning Pass.

Probably forgetting a couple…

Gettin my diet back on track, starting right f’ing now.

Also got my bike tuned up and rode about 3 miles today. Not a lot, but it’s a start! Scary to realize how out of shape I am, but it’ll come back.

I lost 90 pounds just by diet & exercise before, so 50 should be a cinch!
😄

Nicely done sir, congrats!

1999 & was a political shitshow for years after. Original intent was to convert to commercial use (ala Norton AFB->KSBD). Would’ve benefitted both LAX and SAN travelers. NIMBY factions eventually won, even though commercial ops would’ve been quieter & cleaner than military ops. Got NO ops instead. 🙄
