7 Days of Shooting - Drinks Trashy Tuesday

The remnants of Sunday's grapefruit juice, which had a little orange juice in it. This house has a large, very mature grapefruit tree in the backyard. I was disappointed by that when I bought the house because I hated grapefruit; however, the fruit from this tree is sweet and not as bitter as the typical grapefruit, and I've developed a taste for it over the past two years.

One of Arizona's abundant crops is citrus. Not only grown in groves, citrus is popular landscape tree. During the late winter through the early summer, we should have another crazy Arizona law that prohibits the purchase of oranges, lemons, and grapefruit. We all have so much that it often goes to waste. It's almost a crime to buy it in the store with so much that ends up on the ground.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The T-45 Goshawk is a highly modified version of the BAE Hawk land-based training jet aircraft. Manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) and British Aerospace (now BAE Systems), the T-45 is used by the United States Navy as an aircraft carrier-capable trainer.

The T-45's A and C models are currently in operational use. The T-45A, which became operational in 1991, contains an analog cockpit design while the newer T-45C, which was first delivered in December 1997, features a new digital "glass cockpit" design. All T-45A aircraft will eventually be converted to a T-45C configuration under the T-45 Required Avionics Modernization Program (T-45 RAMP).

T-45A

Two-seat basic and advanced jet trainer for the US Navy.

T-45B

Proposed land-based version for the US Navy, which would have been basically a conventional Hawk with a USN cockpit and no carrier capability. The USN had wanted the T-45B to get an earlier training capability, but abandoned the idea in 1984 in favor of less-costly updates to the TA-4 and T-2.

T-45C

Improved T-45A with glass cockpit, inertial navigation, and other improvements. Existing T-45As are being upgraded to the T-45C standard.
