I've never been one to participate in any sort of thing resembling journaling, though I have spent a great amount of my life's precious time snickering about and writing short yet brilliantly comedic comments on the internet deity that is Facebook. Well, that's it for today! Hope you all have a fantastic day. At least he has to work all four years this time around, as opposed to taking two of the four pining for re-election. Not a fan so far.hopefully he can figure it out during the next four years.

Not sure how I feel about this, as his administration thus far has increased random spending and decreased the strength of our nations defense. President Obama gets inaugurated for the second time today (technically, the 4th time). YES!!!ДЄnd the MUCH advanced speeds of the 7D will bring the clarity and sharpness that I have SO LONGED for! Photoshop be damned! Instead of switching lenses, switch CAMERAS. This will keep me from having to switch lenses every time I want to go from 'super zoom' to close up shots. I'll likely hang on to my trusty 450D, as it does insane good work for still closeups.

In other news, I got my long-awaited Canon 7D! Unfortunately, I had to immediately send it back to Canon due to a bent pin in the CF card slot, but this will be remedied shortly and the fun can begin! From the British Hawk to a Curtiss Jenny, I was enthused the entire day. This is one of my favorite sets because of the LOT of aircraft types I'd never seen previously. Today I am posting a set from the Sheppard Air Force Base 'Salute To Heroes' air show from 2011. Whose idea was currency anyway? My KINGDOM for a time machine. Let's hear it for the need to have a day job. With this in mind, I would still rather be at a busy airfield with DSLR in hand and my scanner in the other. I realize it's fast-approaching the renowned simmering Texas summer. Here I am with a new, sho-am-fine DSLR but there's no music by which to dance with it. There are THOUSANDS of people out there JUST like me, and they're just as frustrated. See the bit about 'addict needing that fix' again. I love my friends and family and parties and music and. So, in lieu of gratuitous airborne awesomeness, I am resigned to fulfilling the schedule with events of a less-desirable type.Дo NOT misunderstand. However, the cost of traveling to said 'all over the places' is consistently rising to the point of impossibility. I've even been to a one-day extravaganza in Durant, OK. Now I get customer training flights of helicopters from Bell and an endless stream of light aircraft.ДЄctually, I say that, there ARE small shows going on all over the place. NOTHING! Even my daily lunch outings to the end of the runways at KAFW, but even the frequent training flights filled with AT-6 II's and F/A-18C's from NAS Fort Worth have all but ceased. In what is SUPPOSED to be the PRIME time for aviational spectatorism, there's NOTHING. Come March, anticipation of the first show of the year builds and builds to the bursting point, like an addict needing that 'fix.'Д«ut NOOOOOOOOOO. In the spring, I watch intently as the military teams ramp up and hone their skills in their own preparations for air show season.

I'm PISSED because, essentially, I HAVE to BE bored.В Y'see, this little governmental mis-step called 'Sequestration' is fucking with the way my life pattern works.Дuring the winter, I prepare for air show season.
