Oh that Gabe! He really is a cool kid. You know he's going to become a skydiver because of his natural relaxed arch. I know he's going to become a skydiver because he loves 'tit'. Chris LOL!!!! OMG, you still remember that! That, my friend, was hilarious!!! truth be told, he tells me he already dreams of skydiving.

two calves were delivered to our farm today. they're cute black angus calves. i can almost smell them on the grill now. who's comin over for some nice tasty filet in about 18 months? pics later. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

if it weren't for my mom, i'd likely be dead from drugs or alcohol. she's the reason i'm clean and she's the reason i have any faith at all. she's a saint. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

it's nasty here too... so i'm refinishing the hardwood floor in my son's bedroom. what fun I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

probably surfing porn his computer was over his lap, so unless his po-po is small than mine, he wasn't yankin, that's for sure. he was prolly just looking at a map. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

so do they actually make hot dogs w/ mechanically seperated beef? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

LOL!!! And yoda needs to layin down some fat rhymes! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

i'd feel awful. but i'm not doing it. but i did see someone typing on a laptop while driving on the freeway in the rain while on my way to my sis in laws just a little bit ago. he couldn't stay in his lane to save his life. and i thought damn, that's some stupid shit. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

it's not very easy. or smart. this has been a public service announcement. Edit to add: I am NOT engaging in this activity!!! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

did you get your TALL genes from him? That, IMO, is a very good thing

Yep...........the initial versions were all single seat. Not sure exactly when they came out but they made a "Deep Attack" version called the "Block 40" which was dual seat and had LOTS more stuff. IE targetting and nav equipment equivelent to what the F-15E has. I know I worked with some in Korea. I think they were from the "Wolf Pack" down on the West coast of Korea in Kunsan I think it was. JT was stationed there. There was also the "Mighty Ducks" squadron from South Carolina. Not sure where else they might have been stationed. And there has always been the simple F-16B two-seater trainer. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

yeah sorry... now it's just a public pm isn't it. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

DUDE! post pics!!! I just reshaved mine today. love it. i just wear hats. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

prentice... THAT might have been my english teacher! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Stiles, didn't he have a crooked head?? He was run over in WWII or something in a fox hole. That was the rumor. Too funny. I think lewis might have been the one that was doin the principal when I was there. They didn't hide it too well. Samoan was Mr. Williams wasn't it??? He was still there, think he still is. Mr. Human there when you were? What about the really tall math teacher Paul something I believe? Yeah, I think stiles' head was crocked... very hoarse voice... human wasn't there when I was... williams wasn't the name of the samoan... i'm blankin on it... and i'd be VERY surprised is Debbie Lewis was doin the principal. She was the volleyball coach when I was there. Very honorable, above board, high values, instilled integrity in everyone. maybe she slipped up? who knows... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

LOL!!!! That's hilarious!!! But I have no inclination whatsoever to stick any body parts in it. I'd love to see Walt try though! I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Ok, that makes a veritable Trifecta of 'Tards here... clue us in, will ya? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

... i don't get it... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Did he never have hair that is wayyyyy funny. I think he had alot of kids do stuff to him, pranks and such. He had sons that were around my age if I remember and they were goons as well. Drafting was also woodshop classroom when I was there. I seem to remember doing something devious in one of those classes but apparently my age is getting to me I wonder which english teacher you had that was a bitch!! I can think of one or two that would have done that. Teachers stayed at that school for along time because they knew it was a good place to be. Nope he never had hair as long as I knew him. I've tried to find him, see where he is now, but even the deserths alum page doesn't say anything. I forget the english teacher's name... I wanna say Ms. Bateman, but I get confused if that was the HS I graduated from or if it was Desert. She was a bit tall and VERY thin. No boobs at all. I learned computers there from Mr. Mowe, who had parkinsons I think, and googly eyes. French was Mr. Ahrete or something like that. It was in a portable over by the cafeteria. Mr. Stiles for fresham science, he was awful. I forget the lady I had biology and adv. bio from, oh yeah.. Debbie Lewis. Strict but good. And the chemistry dude who was missing a finger, mouth was crooked, like he'd had a stroke. Was the Samoan PE coach still there when you were there? Surfer dude, curly hair? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

Mr. P OMFG!!!!!! He was an odd one. I once was welding and had dipped the metal in the cooling bin. Gave it to him to shin up to see how well the beads were. He grabs it after grinding it for a bit with his bare hands and then yells at me for giving him a hot piece of metal. I was like ummmm I handed it to you with my bare hands!!! I think he just wanted to save face. Seen the south park episode with the shop teacher?? I swear they based it off of him Did you make aluminum keys back then as well?? LOL!!!!! He had this really bad comb forward... not a comb over, just a comb forward... and bad dandruff... and his lower lip would stick out and he'd suck it in and get it wet and slobery... god we couldn't stand that guy. I had him for two drafting classes. Remember how the drafting class was right next to the shop? I swiped his key ring one day to use the bathroom in the shop, then proceeded to grind down every last one of his keys on one of the grinders in the shop, Just enough so they wouldn't engage the tumblers in the locks. He was so f*ckin angry! He didn't figure it out for a while, then he put it together that it was probably me but by that time a few days had gone buy and he couldn't really do anything about it. I was pretty evil back then. I feel bad now for how rotten we treated him, but god he was a stooge. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

yeah, I was spoiled there... I was there when they were first building the B-2 hangar on the other side of the runway. It was such a big secret, but my dad was a cop on base and he came home and said to me, "did you figure out what that hangar is for?" I said "no" He said, "think about it... how tall is it? Not big enough to fit a plane w/ a tail, is it." DING! The lights went on... B-2. One of my GF's dad, Maj. Couch was one of the first test pilots of it, but it was always at night - of course, at least back then. We did see the SR-71 from Palmdale come through every now and again... That was cool. And the X-29 was still flying a good bit back then too. Those were the days when Desert HS would let out and bus us over to the lake bed to see the shuttle land, that was awesome. My dad usually flew security in a Huey, they'd buzz the crowd and I'd see my dad hanging out the side w/ an M-16. So cool. I was in 10th grade when the shuttle blew up. We were in English reading shakespeare. The principle offered everyone to hear live radio over the intercom. She refused, saying that King Lear was more important. We all got up, right then and there, in unison and walked out on the bitch. It was righteous. We had kids whose parents worked over at the NASA side of the base. We weren't just sittin there reading Old English nonsense. Ah the memories... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

holy shit, you graduated in 95?? you're a YOUNGIN!!! I was out of college and about to start grad school by then... ah well... hey, was Hal Peterson still the drafting/shop teacher then? Short fat rolly polly guy? I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

ME TOO!!! Such awesome experiences, moving to exotic places like the Azores, Okinawa, etc. And Edwards was just the SHIT for a wannabe fighter jock teenager like me... My very first job as a 15 year old (being a bagger at the commisary on base doesn't count ) was a summer youth program job at Edwards... I was a kid janitor for the offices that housed the test pilots and support crews for the B-1 Bomber program. That was in 1985 and it was not yet operational... I was there for the first delivery to Dyess or Offett, I forget which... anyway, my boss was a hard ass old man, but the flight crews new of my great desire to be a pilot and they would make up excuses for me to have to be w/ them in their crew trucks as they took the pilots out to the ramp where the B-1 was... then we'd go out to the flight line and I got to help them set up the video equipment, since they still videoed every takeoff and landing... The F-111 chase plane would take off, we'd be right beside the runway... so cool... he'd come around and pick up the B-1 which would then take off... OMG was it LOUD!!!!!!!! Often the B-1 would come around, wings swept and do a low fly-over of the video crew... it would make my insides shake, it was so thunderous. Best times of my life right there... I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

that is just freakin hilarious! boeing should totally do it and get some corporate help to from Oscar Meyer to help fund their 787 project, which is what this leviathan was built for - to ferry parts for the new "dreamliner." I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...
