Many of the frequent flyers to the ER have a BA of .50 or higher. The highest I've seen was .743..and this guy could kind of walk still. SmugMug

Been driving in Alaska for 36 years..ABS the best thing since polar fleece. Like anything you should be aware of it's limitations and strengths. The hardest part is forgetting old habits and learning to stomp the pedal down and let the computer do it's magic. SmugMug

Eggs last for weeks without refrigeration but you do have to turn them every few days. Mayonnaise will keep fine at room temp, just don't contaminate it with your nasty ass knife/spoon/fork. Most things, except raw meat, lasts for much longer than we think if it's properly handled. There are lots of folks out there sailing around in boats with no refers that keep food for long periods.

In one of the linked videos on Youtube the person sitting on the airbag got a fracture of L1. Those things break bones, dumb to do that to someone. SmugMug

Um, the prop is behind the occupants. SmugMug

You ever look under your bed? And never look here. SmugMug

How? What happened? SmugMug

Your statement shows a bit of lack of knowledge of the reality of using a firearm for defense. If you're going to shoot at someone you must "be in fear of imminent death or serious physical injury". That's the wording for my local laws, your's will be very similar. There is no "shoot to disable" or "shoot to kill"...that's movie crap. You shoot to stop the attack...period. A few years back I too had someone come in my home. For me it was a daytime burglary attempt. The guy rang the doorbell (I was on the throne, couldn't get there in time). About the time I get to the front door I hear the sliding glass door in back open. I realized what was happening, scooped the dog to keep her quiet and went upstairs to retrieve the pistol. I expected the burglar to start taking my computer system apart in a room on the first floor but instead I hear him coming up the stairs. I met him at the top -- him with his little wooden club, me with my pistol. After an intense moment of eye contact I told him to "GET DOWN". I guess he thought I said fall down 'cuz he turned and tumbled back down the stairs before running out of the back door. SmugMug

Walked in on 3 guys that had the 1st wife airtight. SmugMug

The wind isn't "pushing" you. The sail/wing generates lift. As you move forward the apparent wind increases and the apparent direction it is coming from moves forward. The apparent wind for his vehicle was over 126 mph. SmugMug

It's a girl with her head bent forward smelling a flower. SmugMug

Problem is there was no explosion, that's simply a fireball -- quick burning -- but not an explosion and has minimal "force" exerted from it. That parachute just did what rounds do. SmugMug

I've seen as bad done to humans...no surprise someone would do it to a dog. Some people suck. SmugMug

Well, I've been thinking up buying that exact combo to use with my 50D...I think you sold me! Very nice shots, like the first one best. SmugMug

Hmmm. His dicking around trying to save a prop distracted him and caused him to flare late. Notice the crappy roundout and touchdown? Feathering the prop may actually do more damage than leaving the blades normal. (They are going to take more force to bend when feathered since they are edge on to the applied load -- translates to damage to crankshaft/engine/engine mount.) IMO his actions to save airplane parts put him and his passenger at increased risk, he might need to reconsider his priorities. SmugMug

Honestly and without a bunch of attitude. But remember, you don't have to talk about the offense, just politely refuse to answer the questions. You do have to hand over your drivers license, registration, etc. If I stop you a citation will be written...almost without exception. I will ask how fast you were going and if you know what the speedlimit is. I ask those mostly to use in court if needed. SmugMug

Here's one SmugMug

I use bootcamp on my Mac Pro to run Windows and Windows apps. No brainer installation...have encountered zero problems. SmugMug

In all my hours of flying I would look out at the wing and know that this "flying" thing was simply magic...no more, no less. SmugMug

The U-2 wasn't using the catapult. Notice there is no bridle or shuttle attachment. SmugMug

I agree about this guy. I saw him fly at GML last September. That hammerhead just after takeoff is done VERY low. As he went over the top I'm thinking "oh s@#$!". Gotta say, the best airshow routine I've seen. SmugMug

He was doing a series of stalls....one of them bit him. SmugMug

I've talked on many a recorded line, including 911, and never heard a single beep. Where I'm from there ain't no such thing. SmugMug

Carb heat wasn' needed, so I didn't use it. SmugMug

I've got quite a bit of time flying 182s hauling jumpers. The Cont O-470 will make ice faster than a Frigidaire in the right conditions. What I found, much to my surprise, is that I didn't get carb ice in what is traditionally thought to be the "normal" time to get it. I several times have had carb ice on takeoff while at full power (one of which resulted in a dead stick landing back to the airport). I have never had carb icing during a descent, and all of my descents were made with NO carb heat (I did however pull heat on every few moments to check for ice). I had a carb air temp probe installed which allowed me to keep a close eye on things. I found that during low power descents the carb air temp was very near ambient temps...well above freezing...but during high power or cruise power operation is when the carb air temp would drop to the freezing level or below. Folks operating O-470s would be wise to invest in a carb air temp gauge IMO. SmugMug
