My first unit in the CG was an isolated LORAN station in the Aleutions. Fresh outta basic I was a scullery bitch & clean up boy - one of my morning jobs was to raise the flag & on my way out through the (dark) mud room still half asleep I bumped into something waist high & very solid. I hollered while running back into the main building & looked out the window of the galley to see a Brown bear standing in front of the building looking confused.

I checked everything before hoisting morning colors from then on.
LOL damn right! It feels like it moves blood that hasn't moved in a while! LOL I'm so happy no one saw it!

All it takes is one time & it's over. Do yourself a favor & do not go go looking for "final pictures of treadwell", they are NOT for the faint of heart.

Thanks I'm down to Growing Amnesia Haze and disco biscuit.

I don't do much defoliation just pull the Dead Leaves off the bottom
Disco biscuit? I like disco lol I just started “appreciating” it. I’ve actually got a disco ball hanging in my kitchen. Before I got sick I used to dance for my dog and cats, ha.
Where does disco biscuit come from? I’d like to grow it. Your plants look very nice.

I was entertained this morning by a helicopter doing drop tests. A Super Huey hoisted a series of boxy objects a few thousand feet up, and then dropped them. Article would free-fall about halfway, then a chute came out.

The helo returned to the airport where it would hover while the next article was attached, then fly a slow corkscrew climb to drop altitude.

I drove to the airport and had the pleasure of talking with a ground crew guy. The boxes were weights for testing the chutes, about 2500 pounds each.

I watched number six of eight drops from the airport. That one failed to open, made a crump sound when it hit dirt. What surprised me is how loud the chute was. A good open gave a robust whoosh whump sound. The failure made a loud fabricky roar. Guy said “let’s see what they wanna do now.” They lifted and dropped the remaining two. Those opened.
