08-13-2026 - Back during the COVID-19 peak, my wife and I drove 100 miles to an In-N-Out Burger, dined in their parking lot, then drove back home. This was a combination of enjoying a burger that we like and just getting out of the house. Pilots have the thing about the $100 burger; flying to an airport just for a meal. Today, that would probably be the $300 burger. Yep, I did that back when it was the $100 burger. My most memorable burger trip was stepping out of the airplane with three other jumpers and landing (with permission) on the lawn of a McDonald's. Kids came running out as we packed our parachutes before going inside to dine. On the jump back at the home base, two skydivers tried to share a Quarter Pounder with cheese at 100+ miles per hour. It was not pretty.

08-13-2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday. Do you know what that means? Neither do I. I’m way behind on my Amateur (ham) Radio Morse code contacts. I usually make short contacts with stations in the U.S. state and federal parks as part of the Parks on the Air program. I only make contact with those stations that are using Morse code. I have just over 700 unique (no duplicates) parks in the logbook so far. My Folgers Black Silk coffee is ready.

08-12-2026 - Good Morning! It’s Wednesday, and some lawn-mowing might be in my future today. Also, I might do a little more tweaking of the advertising program. I need to get it right before my ads hit the ad magazines. I know I’ve made a number of changes since mailing out a handful of postcards. Apologies for that. My Folgers Black Silk coffee is ready.
08-11-2026 - The location was the snack bar at McCully Barracks (Army), Wackernheim, Federal Republic of Germany. The occasion was lunchtime. I had decided to skip the chow hall. At my table and feeling a little mischievous, I loosened the cap on the salt shaker as a favor for the next customer. For the evening meal, I decided again to skip the chow hall and dine at the snack bar once more. I sat at the same table and dumped the salt on my food. Lesson: salt is bad for you!
