I closed on the acquisition of a small wastewater mgmt biz yesterday. I quit an 11 year career in finance at a large global bank to take on this endeavor, in part at the encouragement of people on Twitter that I’ve never met.

Every good commander I’ve ever met: “This unit is led by officers and run by NCOs” It’s really as simple as that.

Fighter/attack aircraft should be twin-engine, twin-tail, single-seat. That’s how the Gods of War intended it. Everything else is cope. (Korea, 2017)

Damn Brother. Save some for the rest of us. Mike Rutledge Director, National Stearman Fly-In CW4 Michael Rutledge wanted to fly since he was a boy. Michael is a Galesburg native and has been at the helm of the Stearman Restorers Association since 2016. He recently retired in 2019 from a 30-year military career as a Navy SEAL and Army special operations helicopter pilot. Mike’s first flight was at age 5, off the grass at Galesburg in the very Stearman he now owns. Coincidentally, that Stearman (“Navy 404”) is also the co-founding Stearman of the National Stearman Fly-In. He also owns a J-3 Cub, a Cessna 195, and the last known flying, R-1340 powered Stearman still in crop duster configuration. Michael now resides in Casa Grande, AZ with his wife. He is an active crop duster and owns an aerial application operation and Single Engine Air Tanker business flying on fires throughout the U.S. LLTB🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Watch the Navy Blue Angels choreographing their air show performance. It’s that precise! Absolutely zero wiggle room involved in performing these maneuvers. Crazy.

Billy, this is Chuck. He’s maybe the fastest deck builder in California. His only defect is that 75% of his paycheck gets garnished for child support payments.

Ten years from now, you won't remember the workout you skipped. You'll feel it. Every session you put in today is a deposit your future self will thank you for. GO TO THE GYM.
