OK so we have missed a few day's here in South Florida reporting on our aircraft Cod-ex-code
template but little Tinker has had to file his little spaceship companies income taxes and Wendy the witch and I have to make
sure we have the bills collected and the check's have to be cleared and we have to make sure we have and can get re-cepit's!
And this year we wanted to maybe try and be a little more professional and see about makeing the investment into one
of those new machines that you put your receipts and they record them on to your computer So we had to find out how much that
cost and whether Wendy will spend the money!
and as we noticed last Friday was February
the 13th and this week is the Chinese new year of the Ram sheep or goat! We have been very busy and we wanted to watch
the new's to see if the war was going to stop in the Ukraine where a lot of the world is waiting! Tinker-bell wanted to make
sure he sent a funny e-mail to his friends on REDEYE on Fox news and it is cold here in Sunny South Florida and me and Mikie
had to check up on our medicine and Tinkers friend Hiedi had to get our appointment's on the calendar and we could not go
to the beach! We have another friend that came to see us General Custer we have to have the laundry done and go to the grocery
store! this day the 19th was the PT-19 Fairchild for our aircraft codex code Thursday Thor=s Day and Friday the 20th of February
is the A-20 Douglas Havoc and the 21st we have both the Nieuport 21 (WW1) and the North American XB-21 which was known
as the Dragon! Tinkerbell thinks it first flew in 1936! There is a picture of a Nieuport 21 from WW1 from the airplane t-shirt
people on the page several pages down from this one about the robot spaceship Dawn exploring the area of the asteroid belt
with electric-Ion engine!
Ok Tinker will tell you what else is going on in our world!
Here in Florida as in other states lately there have been vote-ing on ballot's about the legalization of Marijuana here in
Florida it was for medical Marijuana the bill known as amendement 2 almost in something like 2% short of passing and the bill
had a lot of strange attachments to it that was a terrible bill! When you talk to Tinkerbell he had done a whole combat tour
in Vietnam before he ever smoked a joint! In those days it was what they called a draft army and little Tinker bell was
not brought up in the gettos of the east coast or the west coast and to get helicopter school trainng after graduating from
high school he had to enlist and take an extra year in military service! Some people were drafted they only had to do two
years but many times they had to be in the area where the army wanted them to go not they! and many times no matter how much
education you had if you only wanted to do two years and your number came up you very much may be in a combat infantry unit
in a war zone! In 1969 there was a song that came out the music concert at Wood Stock New York from country Joe Mc Donald
and the Fish that went like this 123 "what are we fighting for... Don't Tell me I don't give a dam next stop is Vietnam and
it's 567 open up the pearly gates ain't no time to wonder why were all going to die!
Also during this time was another song by a group called the Fifth Demension called this is the "Dawning of the age of Aquarius"!
When Tinker bell was flying as a door gunner on an helicotpter known as a Huey sometimes they would be listening to the Armed
service radio from Saigon (Now Ho Chi Minh city)
and during a combat assault once flying at low level I remember
one day they played that song my Mic Jagger and the rolling stones called I see a red door and I what to paint it black! Tinkerbell
will tell you these were thrilling rides at 120 miles an hour three feet above a rice patty but Tinkerbell will tell you many
persons who got criminally involved in one thing or another and went before a judge or court could get out of jail by going
to the army and Vietnam! Some of these people were not as good as other people and in a tight spot Tinker bell will tell you
that the story of one bad apple can spoil the bushel was well learned many times over! The director of the CIA when Tinker
was in Vietnam was found floating drowned in the Potomic River after Tinker had come home so there were some people that will
tell you Karma has a lot to do with whether or not you lived to report (Tell your Story) or not!
