This morning when I got up the first time it was about 3 degrees outside. I’m guessing, of course, but judging by the way parts of my body shriveled up when I put my foot on the tile floor, I think I’m pretty accurate. My shrivel-sensor works pretty good. Even Max told me it’s too cold to do much by the way he refused to participate in the process of putting his harness on.

On his good days, when I pick up his harness, he’s front and center for a walk. On cold days, he remains laying down while I dress him and won’t get up until I put on my hat, or my fuzzy shirt, for the trip outside. He’s really funny that way.

We managed to make it around the park without falling prey to the cold as long as we kept moving. Moving is critical to keep your joints from freezing up. Once that happens, you’re a goner. That’s true. I Googled it.

We made it back to the bus and it didn’t take long for us to thaw out. Then, after Diane got up, around 1030, we gathered ourselves and headed over to the PIMA Air and Space Museum. We’ve already been there as you may know, if you’ve been reading all this stuff, but the entrance fee allows 2 visits because there’s way more to see than a normal person can do in one day. This is true.

We walked to the different buildings and think we actually saw the majority of displays and aircraft. There must be at least 7-800 airplanes surrounding the buildings, and probably that many on display inside the buildings. They are scattered around on the floor and hung from the ceiling all over the place. It’s an amazing place.

Now I will add some photos I took.

This is us on the way.

Here we are at the entrance.

Here’s one to make you wonder about Santa’s sleigh …

This is what a SR-71 looks like flying over you head.

This looks like fun

There’s Diane, waaaaay down there.

On our way to another building, we passed this one. I think Les told me he dismantled this one and put it back together blindfolded.

Then there’s this in a building specifically for the B-29 bombers and their missions. We were told there was soon to be a birthday party for the oldest member of one of the crews. He’s going to be 101 and he’s a local boy from Nogales.

This is one wall of the flight crews with their planes. There are three walls like this.

This is a place to visit if you’re ever in the Tucson area.
