Actually, I was talking about the computer, no age jokes.

The guy in Norway is actually a more experienced Electrical Engineer than myself. My boss isn't letting me back in Norway 'till I find out about that speeding ticket.

ETA:regardless of what predicted, Oil prices are tied more to the value of the US dollar.

Wink hey all from the blizzard....

not running sled dogs makes me stare out the window wishing I could run...
opposite of HAVING to run sled and wishing I could stay inside then...

-7 sunny today at 8am to 30 at 6PM and a blizzard. got our hypothermia course done the right way! Navy guys were very polite and shook my hand.
the only marine reserve guy tripped on the ice and fell....normal firefighters slammed the big paw to my chest (firefighter love) the names they called me and I back were 'terms of endearment' not suitable for this public site.

LOVE the madhat icon now- sounds like a T Rad joke...

Don REDLEG, good! hope everything clicks when it is suppose to! will be at Chaikwa's the 9th, afternoon and can float up near Claude and you for a meal
pro se. no need to clean the household. leaving NY the 5th and slow cruise to Milwaukee. probably be the only idiots at the zoo.

not one to go near CIN's sticky buns

Heidi off to do projects with the right fiberglass this time

My Cousin The One That I Mention In Montana-had An Airport And We Lived Near Each Other- Spent A Lot Of Time Flying With Him -180`s 192`s - And A Few Others -unfortunately All My Time Was Spent In The Right Seat- Never Handed Me The Controls - Always Wanted To Learn -however Its An Expensive Hobby- But The View Is Absolutely Beautiful - You Get A Whole New Prospective Of The Area You Live In That Way.

Its not as expensive as you think.

I had a professor in college has a little single prop plane he picked up for about $25,000. The recalibration of some equipment is costly and has to be done my an FAA mechanic, but those expenses aren't that often.
He said it was about the same cost to take his plane or his car to go somewhere, the difference was being able to go straight there at 100 mph vs following a windy road at 65 mph.

Oh I Know - But Then You Have A Fee To Tie Down At An Airport And Like You Said 100 Hr Inspection -Even If You Are Qualified They Have To Inspect Your Work- Fuel - Ins. Ive Rented Planes Fem My Cousin And Licensed Pilots Have Flown Them To Where I Wanted To Go- That Wasn`t Two Expensive - Once Flew From Down State Up Around Mackinaw Island And Over To Travers City For Lunch Then Home - Think We Spent About $200.00 In Rental & Fuel That Day
Land Miles Would Have Been About 500 Mi And we Had A Great Day

From: In the middle of Weather Dry Creek Farm in Avilla, Arkansas
Good morning from Weather Dry Creek. Eyelid closure relay failed at 0347. Was hoping to lay in until at least 0530. Oh well, at least I had some time to get the biggest part of a job application filled out. It was "reccommended" that I put in for the shop supervisor position. Just a temporary promotion until the Brigade gets back. Doing the job now in an unofficial capacity. At least it will add a minimum of $200 per month to my retirement.
Oldest g-son and I will be working on mill power plant this weekend. Get the frame layout done, cut some metal, and high temp glue it together. If I think of it, I'll get some pics. Had to laugh at him tho, he removed the hydraulic supply line and got a nice bath of about 2 gallons of 30W. Learned real qiuck about pulling the drain plug first. Good kid. Wish some of the older "kids" at work had the same work ethics.
Getting a bit of light to the east. Guess I'll get around and get something on other that skivies and a t-shirt.
Fresh pot of coffee on the counter and newspaper will be here in a short.
