Brandi,
You better make sure FG can do a perfect low altitude Chandelle without stalling in that Rocket thing before you
hitch any rides with her.
We wouldn't want to see David's "Cowgirl in Heaven" model get bruised up from a sudden landing

Ron,
No, I want her to do Snap Rolls 10 feet off the deck.

That way..........if a wing snaps off..........it is just a straight slide down the runway.:thumbsup: If the wings stay on.........a hammerhead stall at altitude.

Make sure I have plenty of air blowing on my face when doing these maneuvers.

Don't ask me why.

hugs, Brandi

:laughing::laughing::laughing: Pharmaceuticals??? Is that what it's call now. We had three folks arrested locally for putting several lines of "pharmaceuticals" up their noses.

Jim,
To be more precise............Fluticasone from a pump spray bottle.

I don't like lines

............to many people in them.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Brandi, what you need to go get those bottles is a Zig-Zag Racer from Hobby Zone. They come with basket on the front for playing water hockey. You can capture floating bottles or debis and bring it in to shore easily while having a blast. I have several of these and they are fast, extremely maneuverable, and fun. They run about $70 each with controller and have the electronics all sealed from the water. They can do a complete flip and keep on going. I will warn you though that Booger will probably go nuts when he sees them on the water, so you better have a leash handy.

Oh Jim. You just ruined me on designing and building a loader grapple barge. I'll have to check them out. Thanks anyway. Booger goes nuts over balls in the water and the rc boat. But he will not go into the water to chase them. He just goes nuts and barks while running back and forth on the bank.
hugs, Brandi

Exactly. That was the first time in 20 years that it had dried completely.

A bigger pond, will it be named Lake Willis.

Whatcha talkin' about Willis?

Maybe she should be more worried about the Split S at low altitude!

Dangit Lou; Now your making me hungry! How do you expect me to lose those last 10 pounds, if you keep talking like that? :confused3:

A good friend of mine does a triple snap on takeoff in his Pitts! Pacerron probably knows him too. When flying together in a 2 hole Pitts, only the double snap was do-able. Lots of engine and prop, but the extra fuselage, earned that plane the name, "Miss Piggy". (I'd have thought it was referring to me, except it only did a double snap with only one person aboard, and was called that before I sat in it!)

And pacerron, if you need a hint, friend's initials are BLM!

Brandi, are you still snorting pharmaceuticals? Just looking for tonight's entertainment.

I'm good, as long as air is blowing on my face. Stuffy cockpits don't agree with me.

2 holer Pitts have tight cockpits. I got stuck, upside down in the rear cockpit, while trying to safety wire cable turnbuckles in front of the rudder pedals. Standing on your head and stuck. Talk about embarrassment. I felt like Miss Piggy. Two coworkers had to pull me out...........but only after I told them I was finished. Don't remember much else about working on them.

Here you go Brandi,, I will post this before I get to far along.. with my Friday night beverages,, Hot off the press..

Pond by Lou

It was just a small ravine
That someone dammed up
To catch the runoff for the cows to drink
But it was a place for me to set and think

Watch a leaf float across the water
In the distance, sound of mother natural
Cool breeze helps dry the sweat away
In the shade of a willow on hot summer days

I can remember back when I was a child
Back when life was tough but simple
I could set by the pond and daydream
About places I was told but I've never seen

Wishing I was on a high flying plane
Headed to anywhere but a cotton patch
I could lay on the bank listen to that lonesome sound
With my feet in the water, my mind in the clouds

As life passes by
You forget those wonderful years
Where your imagination was your gateway
From hoeing that old red clay

Now that I've gotten older I don't have the time
Those wasted thoughts are still on my mind
Wouldn't it be nice to pass thru that magical door?
Relive those dreams by the pond once more

bindian; They sent you in to do the job, because none of them could fit! They expected they'd be pulling you out of there!

Yikes, steroids! They will make you feel a LOT better, but I tend to become 10 feet tall and bullet proof on those things. Oh yes, I am a pilot, so am 10 feet tall and bullet proof anyway! On steroids, I just make sure the ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS that I am!

Yep

.........You and Denzel Washington.

farmgirl19 · Nov 1, 2013

Lou; As always, your poems are awesome. Yes, it would be great to relive those dreams by the pond, once more!

When our paths cross, I'll buy the first round of drinks!
