I'm still up and it's 10:30 pm! Today was extremely hot out in the back forty (as we call it). There's an amazing amount of insects and bugs out there. Today I saw a horse fly the size of my thumb! My thumb people!! One of the guys picked up a pole and proceeded to kill these huge flies before one of them landed on us and carried us away! Ha Ha. It's was about 90 degrees out there today with about 90% humidity and even hotter in the tent we set up to "try" to stay cool in, personally I think it made it worse but I guess the shade was good. We had many helicopters come in to be loaded and we spend a good amount of time loading them. I know training is part of my job and I do enjoy it but sometimes when you're tired and overheated you don't really care how cool they are. Anyway here's a few pictures I took with my iPhone and oh by the way the blades of the helicopter really don't bend that much its just that they spin so fast that my phone camera could not pick up the blades accurately. Enjoy!

Wow! The bending blades look really creepy!
You should get hazard pay dealing with flies that big! Oh my! I couldn't handle that at all! Then add the heat and humidity....how long do you have to do this?
The Scriptures are full of such amazing and comforting passages. This is one of the best. Hope they are full of comfort and know I'm here praying!
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

It definitely wasn't a good day to be stuck outside doing anything (besides maybe play in a pool)! How long does this training last? Don't get carried away by any bugs :)
Thanks for sharing the pictures. It's really neat the way the blades appear in pictures!
