1989 - U.S. President George H.W. Bush called for an overthrow of the Panamanian ruler Manuel Antonio Noriega.

1992 - A commercial flight record was set by an Air France supersonic jetliner for circling the Earth in 33 hours and one minute.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
If there's a speed of sound and a speed of light is there a speed of smell?

Speaking of smell, the coffee, tea and ph00 are ready. PLAIN donuts too.

Yes. It is defined as the speed at which Bincy run's while chasing geo-cashers from your property.

Needless to say, it is not a very high speed occurence, but rather fun to watch...

Good history report this morning. Thank You.

All the states' websites were down yesterday Don. Looks like the same today too. Tried to do my IFT reporting and IRT and couldn't. Guess I won't today either.

Morning gang -- looks like it was a bit empty in here yesterday. Not the normal chatter - - probably everyone busy - - for once.

Worked on the sprinkler system and well for 9 hours yesterday. Wow, back hurts. On my knees digging up old heads and replacing them, cleaning, adjusting. Still have more to do on the well - - need to replace the pressure switch and check the tank - - something not right. Tomorrow - - tomorrow. La la la. Oh - - sorry.

OK, grabbing my ph00 and off again for more fun stuff to do. Have a great day,

Bob

Sorry about that. I guess it's only on our INTRANET. Looked on the public webpage and it's not there yet. For now, I substituted the link with somebody's attempt to post the original on youtube. So make sure you're REAL bored before you watch it.

Scott, were you actually interested in selling that JD60, or were you just venting about it?

I'd sell it in a heartbeat. Michael on the other hand, maybe not so much.
