Looks like life sometimes gets in the way. It certainly felt like that after I graduated college and started working, but that's just the real world.

Good luck and good health RX and Crash.

Wife got a call back on her mammogram.

When perspective starts to creep in the bike focus gets hard to keep.
Hope all that gets straightened out in a hurry. My wife got a call back on her first one, and it was a long week, but negative result.

Thanks everyone. We're pretty stoic on this kind of situation but it's impossible not to let things creep into your consciousness.

Crash, I didn't realize they were still flying UH-1's. I was a crew chief on one for several years. Or are you firing out of a Blackhawk?

SAR? I ride with an ex navy guy. Strong as hell, owns a pool services business, teaches swimming, slightly off his rocker, just finished some IOM in the tropics in 11:43, and doesn't talk about what he did in the Navy. I pretend he was in the DevGru. We also have an ex Marine Recon guy. Mellow as hell but mentally he'll out HTFU anybody.

Ex, good vibes to you and the missus.

RX, That sucks about the pain man, I know work it starting to take it out of me also. My wife has had call backs more than once, I'll be sure to put your wife in our prayers that it means nothing like in our case.

I don't fly in them, we do for the Dillion-Aero course we go thru to get aquatinted with the weapon system, pretty sure thats where the vid was shot. We are going to be the only helo squadron in the Nav using the minigun..should be a lot of fun, of course we're in the Navy's variant of the blackhawk, but it sure would be nice to have the pavehawks for our mission set.

You and I have quite a bit in common, crewchiefs, motorcycle racers (although not at the motogp level, mad props btw) and we're getting older and it hurts

Good thoughts from us north of the border Ex...

My wife and I dealt with something similar a few years...They found a lump and it was a year and a half of keeping on eye on it before the semi-clear was signaled. Doctors felt it was a cyst, which she has a family history of, but the unknowing was not very comforting...
