Rush Limbaugh, America’s Anchorman and also affectionately known as El Rushbo, Maha Rushie among many other nicknames, passed away this morning I don’t even know where to begin really. I was totally shocked today when someone told me the news. We all knew the day was coming ever since he was diagnosed with stage-four lung…

Life at Area 51 in the 1960s

Posted on January 27, 2021January 27, 2021 by Michael Hodges

I came across this in an aviation group somewhere, previously shared on Facebook by Thornton “TD” Barnes, who worked at the facility for a period of time. He’s also got a website with his bio and pictures from his career with the Army, NASA, Atomic projects and business ventures in oil. More unclassified frivolity that…

Das beste Frühstück

Posted on January 24, 2021 by Michael Hodges

I randomly signed into Instagram on the computer (via web browser as I don’t keep the mobile app on my phone) and came across this in my feed from the muenchen account: “Besser als mit einem zünftigen Weißwurstfrühstück kann man doch eigentlich gar nicht in den Tag starten”(You can’t really start the day better than…

Got me some Griswold!

Posted on January 12, 2021 by Michael Hodges

I’ve always had Lodge cast iron, mainly because it was easy to buy locally or Amazon, and because unlike the others brands made today – it’s made in the USA. So I looked on eBay and found this one, a #8 size, p/n 704J, which I believe based on the logo type on the bottom,…

Wisdom by Chuck Yeager

Posted on December 8, 2020December 8, 2020 by Michael Hodges

One of my favorite quotes by Chuck Yeager is “It’s the man, not the machine” which is in reference to dogfighting in an aircraft. This of course is meant to say that someone with a superior fighter plane could still be taken down by someone with an inferior one; that it is the operator in…

The man, the legend… Chuck Yeager has left us. He was an ace in WWII (“Ace in a day” in fact, downing 5 aircraft in a single mission), he was the first to shoot down a German Me-262 jet fighter in his propeller-driven P-51 Mustang, he was the first man to break the sound barrier…
