From Snow to So Cal

Saturday morning in Jackson with a few inches of snow on the wings and the runway, luckily we were able to get out just in time before the real snow storm hit!

And we made it to a rainy San Diego where we are staying with Trev's grandparents in their retirement community.

Since we had a little rain, Grannie De took us to their Fitness Room and we all did a little workout...Grannie De showing us up at 89!

We also met a friend of theirs, Richard, who came in to the gym (walking right along without a walker or cane or anything!) for his daily bike ride and can you believe it...he will be 102 in April!!! We talked to him for awhile and he was amazing to say the least! We asked him what his tricks were and he said ... exercise and a martini every day!

Trev managed to squeeze in 18 holes of golf with my bud George today. He fly's F-18 fighter jets and is based down here in San Diego. He is an instructor for Marines (although he is in the Navy) learning to fly F-18.

After golf, George gave me a tour of what a "usual" work day looks like for him. You know, flying 1,000 mph, live ammunition, and getting saluted by others that he outranks left, right, and center. It was awesome seeing these machines up close and personal.
