Well, it was that time of year again...the Columbus Day squadron pilgrimage to Ernie's to go grape picking. This year, Matt was deployed to Lithuania--but he was there picking grapes in spirit. You'll notice in the photo that we look a little wet and dirty. That's because it happened to rain that weekend and all the fields were muddy and wet. Regardless of the weather, grape picking is pretty messy since the grapes are 'organic' (a.k.a. dusty/dirty) and the juice gets all over your hands when you cut them from the vine. You can't really tell, but the field that we picked for 2005 was incredibly steep. I think everyone had only one sore butt cheek the next day due to the slope! The other two guys in the picture are 'Boose' and 'Stab.' Boose (on the left) is in Matt's flight and Stab (on the right) is in the flight we used to be in before Matt became A-flight commander. Both guys are tons of fun, and in the time we have been here, have been great travel companions.
