Pot may have a greater effect on memory and attention than alcohol and it certainly has a longer half life. I would not and will not trust my life with anyone who uses pot. It can only detract from and degrade any physically and intellectually demanding task that requires judgment...

aint that the truth.:eek:

[quote=TMetzinger; I went off to College 1200 miles from home at the age of 16. The following year I walked from Georgia to Maine, solo in the era before cell phones. One less thing to carry, big deal. :cornut:

And yet even MORE correctly, lets try Minnesota! http://stratocat.com.ar/bases/11e.htm

Back in the 50s during Project Man High, the Air Force space equivalent environment, balloon flights launched from the Dakotas, it was first confirmed that storm tops could exceed 50,000 ft. During an anxiety filled night at altitude Major David Simons confirmed that thunderstorms that were...

Mesoscale Convective Complex. A large group of thunderstorms. Specifically what shows on the image is the large plume of very cold very high cloud tops, I guess.

WHAT? I love Stewart but the movie is a CARTOON of the book. It's cool to see his plane reconstructed and flown but outside of that it's goofy as hell and full of classic hollywood hyperbole. I mean, the final scene for instance where he's landing in France has him clutching his st...

I STILL have never used brake lever shifters! Where I currently live in Iowa is pretty great for biking. I have a pretty good grid of county roads with little traffic. Not much for hills though within an hours ride time. Have to go farther for that. I hear a lot of complaints about traffic...

Man I loved those bar end shifters till they became un-cool (evil racers could reach them and slam your gears) Got on a tandem last summer with my wife and wow, bar end shifters are as good as I remember them! I envy you riding in that location. I've never been up the mountains and not sure I...

Before that film came out I wore almost nothing but black wool bike shorts, a white t shirt, and a yellow campagnolo hat and practically lived on my racing bike. To say that I could relate to the film is an understatement! When people were gasping in amazement about the scene where he drafts...

$5!? Must be one of those red velvet ropes they use to keep you in line at the movies.

I went in for a medical today for the first time in several years because a pal has offered me the opportunity to fly his Citabria on a nice long XC ferry flight. I'm healthy as a horse. I'm essentially a professional athlete climbing trees for a living and otherwise running, skiing, or biking...

I expect hourly reports.

I cut my thumb badly on a table saw a few years ago. It was THE most painful thing I've ever experienced (in comparison to several chain saw cuts, dislocating my shoulder multiple times, and 1 helicopter crash). I was not in danger of losing it but I lost some function and couldn't use it at...

Bob Wander always says that a check ride is a sales job. Dont think of it as a test. Think of it as your opportunity to convince the examiner that you can safely, knowledgeably, and competently act as PILOT IN COMMAND. So, be in command of the check ride! And remember, if you goof up don't...

Looks like I might be assigned to fly a Citabria from Madison WI, to Flagstaff AZ. A pal is moving and needs the airplane relocated. Probably sometime in early to mid June. I think this one has 125hp up front. Open to hearing suggestions for route, stops, do's and don'ts from those who've...

Without my hot tub I wouldn't be able to climb trees for a living. I'm in it first thing in the morning and last thing at night, sometimes a couple times during the day. 5 min at 108 is remarkably rejuvenating. After a month of beating myself up for 10 hours every day, I'm getting better...

Re: Leah Learn's to Glide Good read'n. Thanks Leah. I loved flying with you at Marfa. It was a WILD ride wasn't it?! After that you can handle any tows!

I wonder why...:rofl:
