Jusser, Zelinsky and I went over to sis’s this morning at 8:30 and finished washing our blankets. We had 25 of them & finished up at 10:15. We laid around and ate nuts for awhile & then sis called us to dinner. We had steaks, mac & cheese, pudding ,asparagus salad and gravy. We ate like hogs. At two o’clock Fat took us to the airport at Lockheed & at 4:30 we had our flight up. Jusser and I and Elliot went up together. I shot out of the nose & shot 4 dives at mountains & Mt. Wilson Observatory. They showed us the film tonite, Desert Victory. It was English made & was pretty good. It shows us what to expect when we get there. It’s 9:20 now and I’ve had a busy day so to bed I go.
