Thursday night
29 January 1970

No mail today.  Seems like I’ve been getting mail about every other day.

I only flew once today.  It was another escort for a RF-4.  I really like these hops.  I guess that’s because they’re something new.

The movie tonight was another bad one!  Seems like the movies and food are worse than before I went to Okinawa.

I’ve been told that I might start working in operations in the next couple of weeks.  I haven’t been to happy with the job I’ve had.  O.J. works in ops, but since he’s going FAC, I’ll probably take his job.

I’ve finally begun some physical exercising.  I’m learning to play a game called handball.  It’s a fairly strenuous game and I hope to tone up my muscles.  I’m on a diet, to!  I’ve quit eating potatoes and gravy, ice cream, or other desserts.  I’ve just decided I’m going to get rid of some of this excess fat I’m carrying around.  I’ll not only look better, but I’ll feel better during the hot weather.

Looks as though we might be in for some bad weather.  It clouded up tonight and the wind shifted around to the north.  I hate to see the good flying weather go away.
