Hiking & Airshow
Go see Team America, it rocks; just incredible. Ben a pretty decent couple of days. Went hiking at Torrey Pines with the lgbt hiking club Saturday morning; very relaxing and got to meet some cool people.
Afterwards, headed over to the Miramar MCAS Airshow with Eric and Dor. Never fails to amaze. B-1, B-52 Nuclear Operations, C-130, C-141 Galaxy, Joint Strike Fighter, F-18 Hornet, A-1 Abrahms, along with a bunch of other cool firepower. We made it time to see the Blue Angel's performance, which even after seeing them since I was 6, was stunning as usual. Evening show was laid back but still pretty cool. Lots of roman candle devices/sparklers attached to planes, MiG/F-18 dog fight, a truck powered by 3 jet engines, typical jaw dropping stuff. Great fireworks show afterwards; and just to top it off, they had a bunch of left over ordinance, either some training bombs or battleship artillery charges, which they denotated off the runways. Just to show off, they topped this off with a wall of ordinance half a mile long going off, creating a 100 ft tall wall of fire. Hard to describe the ordinance and fire wall, but imagine a ball of fire as bright as the sun, hot enough to leave your face feeling burned half a mile away, and louder than anything you've heard. Shock & Awe, you get the idea.
Just spent today in the lab working on some projects. Nothing too exciting.
