WifeGeeding recently received this as a gift. As you can probably tell, it’s a baby nipple mocked up as a Rudolf. There’s even a baby pin glued on the back so you can accessorize! However, I just can’t bring myself to pin a nipple to my shirt.
Flight Simulation Fun
WifeGeeding and I were very fortunate to ride in a flight simulator a couple nights ago thanks to our favorite neighbor. I’ve always heard how real these simulators feel, but you really can’t appreciate it until you actually inside one of these things. Our simulator was was a Beechjet 400A.
These simulators are really amazing, and HUGE – about the size of a two story house!
But before we dared the Beechjet simulator, we started off small with a gliding simulator.
It took a little getting use to, but very very fun.
But then it was on to the big boy toys. Our neighbor the flight instructor threw all sorts of stuff at us light bad weather conditions and other planes flying straight at us, but it only added to the fun. Out of three landings, I actually had one ‘safe’ landing. WifeGeeding didn’t’ do too bad herself.
This picture above was taken right after liftoff just before my right engine decided to fail.
WifeGeeding is trying to concentrate on her instrument panel since she’s flying through thick fog over NYC. We tipped our wing over Rev Hart’s apartment.
Now I’m almost tempted to start work on a pilot’s license. 🙂
Update: BagOfNothing.com Christmas Card Experiment 2.1 – Your chance to help fight lupus
My 14th and 15th Christmas cards came in the mail today
The 14th card is from Ashley of Mesquite, TX. We’ll be driving though her city within the next 24 hours on our way to see WifeGeeding’s family in East Texas.
The 15th card is from Jonathan of Lubbock, TX who sends greetings from West Texas. He was nice enough to include a small donation to help fight lupus.
Thanks to Ashley and Jonathan for the cards and helping to fight lupus!
So that’s eight cards from Texas, two cards from NY, and one from North Carolina, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Canada. Â
With a total of 15 cards, that’s $15 I’ll donate to help fight lupus.
A small recap of the experiment of me trying to see if any of you are willing to send me a Christmas card:
Option 1: You can make a direct donation to the Lupus Research Institute in memory of Kim Geeding. Have the acknowledgement sent to my address, and I’ll consider that my Christmas card. I’ve done some research, and out of all the lupus organizations I feel most comfortable with the Lupus Research Institute came out on top.
Option 2: If you just want to send a card and no money, then I will total up all the cards received before Dec 25, and for each card donate a dollar (up to $50) to the Lupus Research Institute. If you include any money, I’ll make sure to donate the funds directly to the Lupus Research Institute.Â
Send all cards to
Keith “BagOfNothing†Geeding
421 Vista Noche Dr
Lewisville, TX 75067-8345
Please be sure to include the “BagOfNothing†in the name so I know the card comes from a reader and not the dentist or plumber.
