Koda the Bear

Bf: *complaining the sinus meds I have are two years old*

Me: hun, I’ve got a bottle of Tums from the end of the Clinton administration I still use. I think you’re fine

New M1 helmet. We’ll do communion with ritz crackers and sacramental wine in a canteen cup

Pretty much although I admit I think they actually handled it somewhat well

Yeah like episode 2 or 3 of season 3 has a murder victim that was found near a pony play resort

Been binge watching Bones and I totally forgot there was an episode with pony play

Finally got a new cover for my PASGT helmet so we’re at last rocking at least one piece of chocolate chip at the museum

Potential project for this winter: see if I can get the engine running on our museum’s old target drone

At least a couple furs at the STL Fuzz n Frights meet tonight. If you see anyone you recognize feel free to tag them

So if you don’t follow me on twitter, I lost my job yesterday. Management had not so subtly been looking for excuses to get rid of me because I refused to play into the office politics. Trying to take it as a sign I needed to get out of there and hopefully I’ll move onto better things

Redoing the patches for my WW2 class A uniform. Debating if I want to be a medic, combat photographer, Air Corps, or supreme headquarters staff

Any mechanic that says they’ve never wanted to taste the forbidden jelly is a liar

Call me crazy but I feel like it should take an act of congress before you can just start demolishing parts of one of the most significant places in the country

At long last I finally have all 5 Army Air Force specialist patches in my collection. Ordinance, radioman, mechanic, meteorologist, and photographer

Y’all like reenactments?

5 weeks of not smoking was undone by about 5 minutes of dealing with I-55 through St. Louis

Watching Ghost Adventures with mom and my bf and every time they say “did you hear that?” or “did you see that?” we do a shot. I’m 8 shots in on one episode

Showed a younger coworker my 1940s still picture cameras. She asked me if they even had movie cameras back then

Can’t wait to take fursuit pics with the West German camera at MFF

Decided to make some “letters home” to sit on the table in our museum’s WW2 Home Front display. Many of these will be based off real accounts and letters from veterans. First up, a P-40 pilot that had a buffet in his plane

Boy kisser on the 5 ton. What war crimes will he witness?

Yeah the spur of the moment last year was excusable for a one time thing but definitely want to make it safe if we’re going to keep doing it

Local furry friend has a food industry grade clear coating for the inside of this so we’re not drinking zinc chromite this year. B-25 shots are back on the menu y’all

If the wind shifts to favor 18 or 09 instead of 36, there’s a weather moving in within a couple hours. If wind favors 27, turbulence will bounce you around like a baby in a dryer. It’s always held true for us

“Can you do a low pass with the C-47?”

“How low you want it?”

“Yes”

Crossing the English Channel at 25,000 feet and running low on gas?

Just shut the engine down and glide that shit to the English coast

Just wholesome family holidays and vacations. Felt kind of odd and sad though seeing someone’s family memories from 60 years ago. The baby in the film would be older than my oldest uncle now

Found this 8mm home movie at the antique mall. We’re gonna see if this is actually family activities, a snuff film, or ye olde home porno

I clean up pretty good when I want to

It’s fat bear week so everyone legally has to be nice to me

Ever think about how much of the ocean has been unexplored? There could be a Dollar General down there
