Good morning!!!!

[scott_vt]

Good Morning Guys,
Ct, 19 to start going to 36 ! Clear skies and very little wind !

Worked 9 hours yesterday and fell asleep after supper for a short nap ! Wife tells me I'm too old to be working, and my reply is, it keeps me young ! I’m only working one day, and it makes me feel like an active part of society and gets me out of the house !

yesterday I had just stated that flights are going according to plan and Lufthansa announced delay

Helo,
Lufthansa is the nicest airline I have ever flown ! We took it from JFK to Munich or Munchen however you might call it ! And I got to speak German to the stewards !

We are getting ready for our overnight trip, wish my wife luck !

Hope all have a blessed and safe day !

Morning all!

Not liking this very much! Almost through a full ton of pellets already!
Definitely going to be an indoor down in the shop kinda day! Got some recognition from a world wide web site I'm on. Feels good to win something with all the talent on the site that are so much better than me!

Wife is back from her trip and we are getting back into our normal routines.

No changes medically for either of us. It appears that her voice is now permanently
damaged. My neck and fingers/toes are staying tolerable with meds. Acid reflux is acting up some. Will need to watch the diet for a bit.
The joys of getting older I guess.
Hope everyone stays safe and healthy! And warm!

Good Morning!

God has given us another chance to get it right (or at least not screw up too badly…).

20.8F going into 50s, sunny day forecasted.

Woodstove did well last night, HVAC kicked on about 5:45 just about time to get up anyway, added some wood and getting toasty again.

Tuesday Mrs found a guy selling used sheets of roof tin $2/ft, so we grabbed all the 10-footers (14) and they now need to get off the roof of the subaru. So there will be a morning trip up to the woodlot, still debating on whether or not to take dogs for a walk up there too. Then some more decorating and a Christmas concert at the Performing Arts Center this evening.

Last night I put another batch of potted pork on the woodstove to cook:

It smells wonderful this morning!

I hope everyone has a happy healthy safe productive blessed day!

$80000 bird strike. That's some expensive duck gumbo.

You should see the tools and code to make something like that. Mastercam sells a special option for turbine blades. It costs more than the basic software.

My uncle tells how they used to smash up bags of walnuts and throw them into the helicopter engines to clean the vanes when he was in Viet Nam (He got injured in Germany and medically discharged, went to work for Lear Sigler and was a field tech).

Good morning gents !
Time to wake up already !


-7 C = 19 F

yesterday I had just stated that flights are going according to plan and Lufthansa announced delay ...
Another hour in Frankfurt. Totally during 3 days had 4 flights, 3 of them - with delay.

Anyway - I am back at home. Have to recover sleeping disorder

Not that big plans for today, have to do some office jobs, I had postponed during travel


Have a nice day !

Another one for the ongoing English Language instruction:

Good morning, the low is 19 and the high to 30°F. Wind NNW 9 mph. 40% chance of flurries. Snowing right now and we got an inch overnight.

We determined last evening that we don't have a need to go to North Bay until the end of January. By that time all the Christmas lunatic drivers will either be in jail (drunk driving) or have wrecked their cars.

Today is dump/town run.

Anybody can land a big jet liner, ONCE. Funny thing about airplanes, there is no such thing as a 'forced landing' they will land all by themselves. Whether or not you walk away from the landing is another thing.


Have a safe day all

All aircraft will return to the surface of the earth.

All bleeding will stop, too. . .

Phil, congratulations on the award. You are clearly having fun with this and you really have talent.

Kilroy, that looks and I'm sure smells yummy

I sent some Omaha Steaks to two good friends for xmas, they were on sale.
I'm not a fan of filet mignon, not enough taste for me, but most folks like it.
they also include four hot dogs. Seems like a strange pairing.
maybe these hot dogs aren't made out of floor scrapings. I doubt it.

tried to send Amazon stuff to my sister in CA; lot of things came back more than ten days out to get there,
I chose something else that got there next week. Gives them plenty of time to lose it and still get there....

Acid reflux is acting up some. Will need to watch the diet for a bit.

Good Morning Phil,
My wife did take Nexium for the acid reflux, but now takes a generic which is much more reasonable price wise ! Hopefully your wife does the same ! I think it’s Omeprazal or something like that !

Phil, congrats on the award !

Kilroy, that looks delicious!!

Hope all have a great day !

I just did a QC check — it is yummy! Last time I used cumin and Mrs was not a fan, this time I used thyme and dill and I think she will like it better.

I think I've tried all the ozols. Pantaprazol currently works very well for me.
My acid reflux burned the bottom third of my vocal cords and lowered by voice.
Not good, particularly since acid burns to that area makes you more prone to cancer.
and my Dad died of esophageal cancer. Of course he smoked cigars but makes me wonder if genetically that
could be a weak area. Hopefully not, though my throat has never been right since.

plain old Tums taken preemptively works pretty well too

Forecast just changed, yikes, SNOW is coming.
not much, won't stick
c'mon weather, warm back up

I’ve always said that takeoffs are optional, landings are mandatory!

Son is better, has 8th grade basketball game tonight. He is up early to finish an AP English report/essay, that he procrastinated on.....

Will leave work early to make it to out of town BB game.

Pretty much everyone in our family has rec'd their Christmas gifts. We buy things that we need mostly. Middle daughter wanted a disney channel subscription for a few months. I got some new pants. Much needed.

Helicopters do not fly.

They beat the air into submission.

Congrats on the award Phil!

Thanks for the pics guys

Helo, get some sleep!

Morning all, 28 going up to 41 and dark/cloudy
Got the firewood up to the house.

I did an order from TEmu to try it out, some air fittings and cutting blades and some spare car fuses. The items were all about Amazon equivalent and worked fine.

The car fuses are so poorly marked you need a bright light and a magnifier to see the size, and the material they use for the connectors looks super cheap.
So those will not be used. The case for the fuses can be reused when I buy some useful fuses.

So it was cheap and most of the order was fine and showed up on time.

Buppies - get some rest and hopefully the rest of the day will be better.

Back to work, Be well.

gravity rules us all

Buckminster Fuller said that our architecture was too dependent on gravity and the mass of structures. Hence the geodesic dome.

 

[Kyle_in_Tex]

I went to be at about 8:30 last night. Got woke up by coyotes howling all around. Tried to shine spotlight on them, I believe as soon as they saw it, they split.

 

[KilroyJC]

Buckminster Fuller said that our architecture was too dependent on gravity and the mass of structures. Hence the geodesic dome.

But for most of history the available materials dictated structural science. And in his honor we now have BuckyBalls

I wonder what he would have done with AirCrete or 3D printed buildings?
