Fini! Well at least the wall is done. It started out as a one weekend project but that didn’t quite go as planned. Three separate weekends with three trips to Home Depot to rent a jack-hammer and it is finally done. Of course by “it” I mean the wall. There’s still the sod, the landscaping,…

The quest to tackle the yard
“Yikes! The yard!” Probably one of the first things that would run through your head if you walked into the backyard of the new place when we got it. Have no fear, a plan to upgrade is in the works. First step: out with the old. Easier said than done though… In an effort to…
New House!
So keeping in the spirit of new things… us Wiktors just bought a new house. Concurrent with our training for Mt Whitney, we also had been spending a great deal of time looking for a new place to call home. Our rental was nice but we were looking for something a little larger and something…
Festober or is it Oktival?
Or maybe we should just leave it as Oktoberfest since it has a better ring to it. We would be remiss, and yelled at, if we didn’t make a post about Dr. Joel S. Tilleson Esq. visiting last month. Boy what a time we had! It was great to see our old friend. We spent…
Every night is date night
Just another lovely San Diego evening. We’re more than a bit spoiled with the weather here. It’s “unbearably hot” when it’s 85 out and it’s “unbearably cold” when it’s 72. This weather lends itself to many-o-enjoyable nights spent dining out on our patio. Add to that the fact that I haven’t seen my beloved grill…
It’s not big but Lucy doesn’t mind…
So it’s been a few weeks and we’re still living in the wonderful Extended Stay in Oceanside. I checked into my new squadron, HMLA/T-303, a few weeks ago and it’s been busy, busy, busy ever since. They handed me a few thousand pages of user manuals for the new UH-1Y helicopter and I started to…
Naval Aviator #29842
This past week we celebrated with Phil as he became Naval Aviator #29842. Phil pinned on his “wings of gold” on Friday, February 27th at NAS Whiting Field. Following are some pictures from the event.
Time on Target…
Last Monday was far from the last flight I’ll fly in the Marine Corps but it was the last flight I flew as a student naval aviator. I officially finished flight school; no big deal… In a few weeks I’ll pin on my wings of gold and then it will be off to the fleet. …
Lucy joins the family
So it’s a bit of a late post but better late than never… Lucy ‘Pickles’ Wiktor joins the family. We got her in mid-December. Here’s a shot of her first bath; she’s having an awesome time if you can’t tell.
Happy Birthday Marines
Yut, yut! So the Marine Corps’ birthday isn’t until November 10 but we celebrated it early this year. We had our birthday ball on Saturday and it was a great time!
