Stayed in Fallon last night with a college buddy that I haven’t seen in a couple of years. Stopped by Frontier Liquor and Sporting Goods because buying booze and ammo just feels really American. He said Fallon sucks even compared to Hanford, CA where he was last stationed. But he had great stories about flying jets at Top Gun.
One conversation went like this:
Him: A bunch of Air Force pilots came in yesterday with F22s and we got to go up against them in the air.
Me: Badass! How’d your F18 do against their F22s?
Him: Oh, I was actually flying an F16 yesterday.
Me: Damn, my life is boring compared to yours
In the photo with the model jets, he’s the closest plane on the plaque picture. The photo ended up on a magazine cover.
We just rolled into Caldwell area wine country. Boat inspection right at the bottom of the grade on 95. Helped that it just came from Tahoe.
So far so good with the towing. New truck is a beast. A couple bearing buddies needed to be fixed a little last night. Knock on wood.
