Fog - Cloudy  September 21  60

Up at 0530A.  The C.O. woke me and said to be ready to fly at 0630A.  I ate breakfast and rushed down to the hanger where I helped roll the plane a B-17B out and warm it up.  I waited until 0930A when it was posponed.  About ten the mission was changed and the plane went to Stephenville where it stayed several days.  It look [[looks]] as if I never get a hop over Newfie Land.  Spent the day at the lab checking on supplies, made a trip to the A.C. Supply. and listed all equip. on hand.  The weather is miserable.  After supper Stiles and I practiced at the lab.  He showed me a lot about the scales.  My one front tooth is a little loose so I decided to quit playing the trumpet and try something else.  Wrote a letter home. Read awhile bed 2345A.

The fire is still smoking but it's almost out.  We were lucky it rained saved us a big job.

Transcription Notes:
Stephenville is the home of Ernest Harmon AFB - Thanks, cause I was wondering if it should have a second "s". Guess not.
