Pitstop for strangers and the strange 7/22/12-7/28/12
Mornin' All!
It's been a while but I think I remember how to start the coffee in this place.
Been a busy summer up here. Lots of work and lots of play too.

Long time no see ofcMarc!
Been one of those nights for me too and now Bob is already been to sleep, woke up and off and running.
I would feel guilty but Im too tired.
Going to have some Graham crackers and milk. That will put me to sleep.
I love older buildings but we dont really have them up here. The ones that didnt burn down rotted away a long time ago from the weather.

Hey! I was just asking about you this last week. Good to see you around and to know you ain't dead or something!
Morning all.
SUNDAY, JULY 22nd:
1376 - The legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin leading rats out of town is said to have occurred on this date.
1587 - A second English colony was established on Roanoke Island off North Carolina. The colony vanished under mysterious circumstances.
1796 - Cleveland was founded by Gen. Moses Cleaveland.
1798 - The USS Constitution was underway and out to sea for the first time since being launched on October 21, 1797.
1933 - Wiley Post ended his around-the-world flight. He had traveled 15,596 miles in 7 days, 18 hours and 45 minutes.
1937 - The U.S. Senate rejected President Roosevelt's proposal to add more justices to the Supreme Court.
1941 - Plans for the Pentagon were presented to the House Subcommittee on Appropriations.
1943 - American forces led by Gen. George S. Patton captured Palermo, Sicily.
1955 - U.S. Vice-President Richard M. Nixon chaired a cabinet meeting in Washington, DC. It was the first time that a Vice-President had carried out the task.
1975 - Confederate General Robert E. Lee had his U.S. citizenship restored by the U.S. Congress.
1987 - The U.S. began its policy of escorting re-flagged Kuwaiti tankers up and down the Persian Gulf to protect them from possible attack by Iran.
2000 - Astronomers at the University of Arizona announced that they had found a 17th moon orbiting Jupiter.
2003 - In northern Iraq, Saddam Hussein's sons Odai and Qusai died after a gunfight with U.S. forces.
2004 - The September 11 commission's final report was released. The 575-page report concluded that hijackers exploited "deep institutional failings within our government." The report was released to White House officials the day before.
2009 - The longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century, lasting up to 6 minutes and 38.8 seconds, occurred over parts of Asia and the Pacific Ocean.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
At times, challenges hit with the force of a roaring, rushing waterfall. The true test, however, is whether you can put your arms up and enjoy the feel of the water.

About time some one admitted the break room is the pits. My summer hasn't been fun yet. This is usually my slack time at work, but not this summer. A rash of bad luck with aircraft and the company doing another rollover. Pretty poor when the boss pulls you off a repair job during our busy flying season to chase paper for a new owner.

cougar: good video's in the random pic thread. Now I feel like I could overhaul that engine (if I went back to school for a few years).
I dont think I found what you were talking about.
I checked and got a video about belly button hernias.
Reminds me. Had a six year old ask me if Zombies can use the internet? I wasnt sure.
Still rainy here. Along with the smoke from some wildfires its kind of dreary.

Depending on which side of town you were on it was between 107 and 109 here today. Tomorrow will be fun.
Evening all. Just flying by to check in on my favorite band of misfits. Got my paperwork done and am ready to crash for the night, 0330 is just around the corner.
