Still gathering backgrounds for some pages. Be patient, damnit!! This takes
a bit of time....
Some
of Hoag's Thoughts and Opinions
Before I start my ramblings,
let it be known that this page is dedicated to all veterans.....Regardless
of service... Except Jarheads, Squids and Zoomies!!!! Only kidding!!
For the aviators, there
is some enlightening material to peruse. Check out my Aviation Section....
For the non-aviation types,
there are numerous areas to check out.
Ok...Opinion time....
My Newsgroup reply
to some anti-military postings that pissed me off.
The NBA Lockout--If
it was REALLY for the love of the game, take a $60k salary cap and quit your
damn whining!!
NY Jets----Ok, maybe
this year; next year; maybe
the following year. Ok then.....2010!!!
Air Tran---ValuJet
reorganized under a new name. Go figure..If a carrier's DC-9 tail # ends
in VJ, I won't fly that bird. Actually, I won't fly any -9s due
to some past harrowing experiences. So sayeth hoag......
NEWS FLASH----Saab
340's do not land well in a 32 knot wind on 33L at Logan...A definate
E-Ticket ride. Business Express (BEX) does a fantastic job,
though. I fly them in/out of Burlington, VT a lot. Kudos to all the employees!!
The Internal Revenue Service---A
SERVICE?????
Go away..My 33% contribution is killing me!!!
Stairway to Heaven---Wait
while I trip on the third step..And the fifth...And the eighth...etc.
Ski Lodges----Quick,
give me that leg cast, man; she's hot!!!
Look at the typical
(A FORMER employer. I will not give the initials "Lucas Aerospace")
executive
posture....
Skiing is fantastic. Until
you have to decide between running over the idiot snowboarder or
kissing that beautiful 100 ft. pine tree....Can you say "Oops, sorry, dude!!"?
hehe
What a true
Chief Warrant Officer believes about the US Army....

Scary
Moments:
My
Phish "Camp Oswego"
Production Gig
9 days of installing power
generation and lighting installs
Pics of "The
Green" each day as it nears completion
Photos of various production
workers, and the conditions
Pics of 80,000 people from
a 30' lift on P-Day (17Jul99)
Phish performing/crowd shots
from "stage right wing"
All the other pics I couldn't
classify due to weirdness
The temp was in the upper 90's,
low 100's and NO rain
75,000 pholks camping. Quite a sight. Well behaved
The real parties were in the
campgrounds (Oh yea!)
I've never seen a crowd of
aliens this large before
Worked my ass off but it was
the most fun I've had in years
