Plane explanation:

Lin’s security had massive issues this week. They left in the middle of the night. All at once.

A man who received multiple credible threats found himself without the enduring security he has had for months.

All gone. At once.

This happened before Lin declined an in-person meeting in Atlanta - that meeting was slated for downtown Atlanta. On Friday 11/19.

Security left. Then Lin declined his in-person meeting in downtown Atlanta.

Atlanta + Friday 11/19. Hmm?

So, Lin asked me to come. I said I couldn’t make it until December bc of my own stuff. Lin insisted. He paid - from his personal money - to fly me out there.

I brought my boys. They love Lin Wood. They love Stuart Guthrie’s kids more.

We did some things about his security (lots of details here that would just bore you). 😀

Today, the boys & I get to the airport.

Get on plane.

Wait.

Pilot informed us that the engines weren’t running.

After a lengthy conversation, I learned that THAT specific issue had never happened to THAT plane.

Moreover, the veteran pilot explained that the problem was usually an “easy fix”. And that “I’ve always been able to (insert pilot lingo) really fast. No problem.”

This was different.

Folks coordinated for a new plane. The one pictured.

As we were leaving, the left behind pilot was flabbergasted as the first plane - the one with the “easy fix” - actually had massive malfunctions.

Malfunctions that were not caught in maintenance.

My website was hacked Saturday. Just learned an hour ago that my ammo business integrations are all off.

And now the plane I was to fly home in had major malfunctions that maintenance didn’t catch.

I posted a picture bc I have faith in God.

Just wanted folks to know.

Amen.

Now, back to war.
