My Birthday.

It's my birthday and I normally treat it just like any other day, but about six years ago or more I looked in the mirror and saw that I was starting to go balled. It’s this fact that forces me to let this day pass by with little thought on my part. Some how I managed to let the thought of being completely balled by the age of fifty and at my currant rate of down hill baldness, it will happen with no doubt.

Three Birthdays On One Day.

At some point in early February the family decided, since my nephew and I have birthdays close together we all should go to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum. I was all for it and my nephew said, “cool yea lets go”. He has a friend with a birthday close to his, so with two cars off we went.

Once we were all unloaded I managed to snap a couple pictures of a cool looking car that was right out front of the museum. I don’t think the museum had the car on display because it was gone when the family and I were leaving, so to who ever owns it great job on the paint and all the other work done.

Although me older sister hijacked my camera for most of the time that we were there, in fact she snagged it almost when got in the door. I did manage to take some pictures before we left. I believe we all clicked out about 100 pictures. I did put the ones I like on my photos page.

The Hughes Flying Boat, H-4, HK-1 Spruce Goose was great to look at from the out side , but I wasn't allowed to see much of the inside. It was still cool that no mater where I was in the building , every time I looked up I saw the goose.

The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was another highlight of my day. I don't know why it is but that plane is one of my top favorites. on TV and in pictures it looks a hole lot bigger then it really is to me.

On the back right side was a small escape hatch that I stuck me head in and I saw just how small the plan was. I didn't know it at the time, it seems I spent almost an hour roaming around the plane.

After all said and done all of us agreed that the hole two and half hours was a real blast. If you like neat old planes and space stuff this museum will be a great day of fun for the family.
