Might one think that perhaps @Mad Dog might have at one time aspired to be an astronaut?


LATE ENTRY: Along the lines of aspiring to be an astronaut, I distinctly remember when NASA distributed the astronaut [pilot] application pamphlets to our Navy SH-60B Seahawk helicopter squadron [HSL-45] back in the late 1980s/early 1990s...lol. All of us Seahawk pilots thought it was pretty funny since in order to even initially qualify as an astronaut [pilot], the NASA pamphlet specifically stated that you had to have X number of flight hours in tactical jets…and from what I remember, we danced around in the squadron passageways waving the NASA pamphlets exclaiming that maybe we could get waivers regarding the tactical jet time requirement. 😁

I wear this one a lot.

I know that the case is scratched but it’s a wearer not a safe-queen 🥰

This one, still. About 65-70 years old. Movement is a 17-jewel Landeron calibre 48, two-register, manual winder. It had been retired by a previous owner when I acquired it, and I did nothing with it for ten years. Serviced about one month ago, it gains a bit, but yesterday morning, I found it 5 minutes fast! Well, duh! It was within about an hour of being completely run down! Little wonder it gained!

You are a man of your word!
And I love the stripes cuffs matching the striped socks matching the striped straps.

Took a page from our own Walrus when I saw that the clouds had come down for a visit this cool morning as I left for a walk.


Near the end the sun was threatening to break through so it's going to be muggy today.

In 4 different time zones! He is a pilot after all.
But they’re all in the same time zone! Poser pilot? 😲
