Day 76

The snow has been piling up for a few weeks now, but we finally got above freezing for one day at least, and the snow is starting to melt. It was a bit too late for the steam tractor museum East of Great Falls, however. I am not too worried about the Tractors inside…they are […]

Day 242

My friend Jim took my old boss Vance and I out to the Air Museum at Malmstrom AFB, MT.  Here is some of what we saw. The top side of an ICBM reentry guidance module. The bottom side. A launch control console.  This is where the two guys sit underground.  Waiting. An ICBM reentry vehicle […]

Day 241

My friend Jim took my old boss Vance and I out to the Air Museum at Malmstrom AFB, MT.  Here is some of what we saw. This is one of the radar consoles Jim sat at watching the skies. Why a train at an Air Force Museum? In 1960 they considered basing some of the […]

Day 240

My friend Jim took my old boss Vance and I out to the Air Museum at Malmstrom AFB, MT.  Here is some of what we saw. A cabinet full of old “consumer goods” as we call them now.  The hangers in the photo in the top of the cabinet was still here when I got […]

Day 219

The Dailylife Great Grandpop turned 93 on the 4th of August (more or less…).  He took a Zipline Ride up at Big Mountain, errr, excuse me, Whitefish Mountain Resort…he said it was fun but he likes skydiving better…less walking uphill! The first three photos are by the Dailylife Canadian Quilter Sister! In training: “Assume the […]

Day 193

On the 4th we went up to Kalispell to see the Dailylife Grandparents, mostly.  They always host the Christian Motorcycle Association Independence Day BBQ.  The Dailylife Granddad in formal 4th of July apparel…Looking pretty good for month shy of 93! ~Curtis in /\/\onTana! {!-{>
