    And yet guys get the rep as being bad housekeepers. I like a (somewhat) squared away place. But don't look in my garage right now.

    A sheet of paper locked in my safe. I'm pretty old school.

    Great news piece. I wonder if the anchor lady made a jump.

    So long, Rosie. Enjoy your rest.

    Yep, not a pic of the time we did it, but that's the idea. I had the "top of the nacelle" slot. Wild ride when we shut off the engines.
  6. JohnMitchell
    Better than re-heated coffee.
  7. JohnMitchell
    You mean I can't climb out and ride on the nacelle again. That was fun.

    I've read a book or two on the subject as well, but didn't pick up any vibe of conflict between the people building the computer and their managers. Was the "Hollywooded" up a bit?

    I was thinkin', that's a Twin Beech I WOULD fly in.

    Super great pictures, all of them.

    This is something that drives me crazy. I can serve a steak dinner to half a dozen people for less than I can buy a mediocre dinner for two at most restaurants. I know people who can't get out of debt but think nothing of dining out 3-4 nights a week.

    Boy, isn't that the truth. . .

    And here I am on DZ.com reading your post when there's a dozen things I should be doing.

    McDonalds restaurants closing. Who woulda thunk it? Americans actually turning their backs on the Macs.
  15. JohnMitchell
    Amen. Think of the genius we lost because of society's puritanical need to punish.

    Maybe Iron Man could be there to fly up and stabilize it.

    Yep, they've shown they can hit the barge accurately and slowly enough. Now, to keep the rocket from falling over.
  18. JohnMitchell
    Not sure but a couple of guesses. . . They don't want to soak their rocket in salt water. They don't want to have to winch it out of the ocean (a complicated, expensive proposition). Anyone have any more reasons?
  19. JohnMitchell
    You guys are crazy. I usually leave before it gets that nuts.
  20. JohnMitchell
    Damn, that's some amazing technology. I hope Elon keeps trying.

    A bit of boredom can be a wonderful thing. Some of my best thoughts and insights have come sitting at red lights with nothing to do but daydream. A bored Swiss patent clerk with a lot of daydreaming time on his hands gave us the Theory of Relativity, the result of his "thought experiments", nothing more. The constant stimulation of our smart phones is stealing something from us we've never valued properly, moments of daydreaming, guided only by our wandering thoughts.

    I don't think I remember that part of the movie.

    Beg your pardon? She is medicated this afternoon, so now her true feelings are coming out. In Valium Veritas, eh?

    I got 3 tandems in before the Seattle Weekend Rain started today, then got home and pulled 12 pounds of ribs and pork roast out of the smoker. Mmmm, on with the sauce and apple vinegar, a few more minutes in the oven. Heaven on a bone. . .

    Thanks for the education. Pretty spendy for just smoking. I have a $130 box smoker with 4 racks cranking in the back yard right now. Sure, I have to reload the wood box once or twice over the next 8 hours, but that's a small price to pay. Also, I'm using apple and cherry wood that I harvested for free instead of expensive purchased pellets. More $$ left over for skydiving.
