Sunday Notes.

Up again at about 05:00AM had some coffee and then read some blogs, Donna said she is feeling better and more rested each day. I went to the store for some more milk and eggs and picked up two more prescriptions that were ready for her. That was the sum total of me being out with the truck.

Nicole got home this afternoon and Donna had some books for her to start reading, Donna & I are readers and we have always encouraged our boys to read, and now the Grandkids.

Looks January is going by at a good clip, we keep hoping things will allow a spring trip and also another one this summer like we did last summer, It was sure nice to meet up with blogger friends and we hope to have some stop here also and spend a few days at the Ranch.

How about a couple of helicopter pictures.

uh2bhc-2

Single engine UH-2a/b, These were the version I flew with during my stay in HC-2. ( 1250hp)ca early 60’s

hh2c03

UH-2c/d same airframe two engines what a hot rod (2500hp). ca 1968

The pictures of the single engine versions are like hens teeth to find, wish I took more back then. The dual engine version went on to become the SH2-F Light anti sub/ship version and stayed in service until the early 90’s when it was replaced by newer and bigger models.There are a tone of SH2 pictures out there.

Well that’s about it for today, hope Ya’all had a good weekend. Be safe out there. Sam & Donna.
