Thank you guys!!! Your words mean more than you realize.
It was good to bring closure for him and it has helped immensely with his own demons. Hit three times on deployment by EIDs, resulting in a TBI and PTSD all wrapped up in one soup sandwich. He has to be one of the most intelligent men I know without a degree. Can fix anything and comes up with the most ingenious ways of finding solutions for people.
He has the biggest heart of gold, puts others ahead of his own needs, and will help anyone in need, especially other Vets. He has no other family so Mrs bugs n I have taken it upon ourselves to make him a part of our family. We are always available for him 24/7 and will drop everything to help him out.
As far as “fixing things”, there is a story behind that topic. As I mentioned, I went to ground for several reasons, the main one is that I wrapped up a 31 year career with the State of CA. Mrs. Bugs n I were in the same line of work and we bother were lucky to wrap up careers that we weren’t shot, nor had to shoot anyone else. Close, but never had to in the defense of others or ourselves. Five days after my final shift, I went to work for a private firm as a technical trainer for aircraft systems used in my old line of work. So you could say, I was fixing systems and folks knowledge base.
In November, I resigned from my post retirement gig to fix my life. 26 weeks away from home was taking a toll on the family, grandkids and parents. I needed to get back to basics and get things done and focus on family. I know we all hear it, but each day is a gift and you can not buy time. Everyone crosses the same finish line, some earlier than others.
First thing I accomplished, multiple burn piles and property clean-up.
Now the focus is “catching up” on all the things I have fallen grossly behind on.
Hope to get up to the hangar and get working on the Fast Mover, 912’s and the 911. Everything has just been sitting……[emoji849]

Bugs
