    [rant] The really bad design thread

    We have those. If you’re impatient, they do take a fairly long time to drain. So my original partner helpfully put vents in all of them. Now the current partners all complain about the dripping fuel. Those leak like a sieve without a slight vacuum in the can as it empties. Sigh. My solution is...

    No, I’m not busy at all, and I’d love to go shopping with you.

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    Hey, now. I used to work* for Wells Fargo. In fact, I left Wells Fargo as a retiree** with over 17 years of service. And I approve this message. * in IT, working remotely the entire time, so the people at the local offices and retail branches had no idea who I was. ** and went to work...

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    I suspect as long as you’ve got the money, they’d probably take it.

    Why you gotta use that word? Now I need to go… But, yeah, lots of changes since then. Some good, some great, some we’d be much better off without.

    well, to be fair, it will be this year for me and next for my darling bride. But still…

    Wouldn’t p**s me off so much if anyone in the house were actually eligible… That’s OK. I shred most of that crap and it goes into the compost. Next year’s crop of veggies and tobacco will benefit from their waste of money and resources.

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    My wife voted a couple of weeks ago, and stood in line well over an hour do so it. I voted this morning with maybe a five minute wait. ONE place to vote early versus dozens of places to vote on the day… seems like an easy choice to me. Looks like there’s only one piece of anti-candidate...

    Zombie F-35 Mishap Report Out...

    Guy punched out of an F35, I gotta think he honestly believed it was that or die. I can’t even imagine someone making that decision lightly. Military equipment gets broken during training. Sometimes a helmet gets run over by a track, sometimes a jet augers in. Either way just be glad the...

    I have tasted speed, and I like it

    I don’t understand… “tailwind”? What is that?

    Looking for info on less lethal/non lethal self defense products

    Yeah, we tried that. She didn't like it, could still barely rack the thing. Watching her do it, I also thought it would be a fantastic way for her to shoot herself in the arm if she had to do it under intense stress.

    VFR flight plans. Do you file them?

    Filed a number of them during primary training. DPE had me do it for the check ride, I think. Never done it since then, though I’ve used flight following a few times.

    Looking for info on less lethal/non lethal self defense products

    I really wanted to get my wife a PPK, if for no other reason than the cool factor of her carrying James Bond’s pistol. Unfortunately she couldn’t rack the slide. We got her an LCP. Unfortunately it fell out of her pocket while fishing and is now somewhere at the bottom of a really big lake.

    Air-to-Air Nieuport (Oshkosh - Sport Aviation)

    That’s hangared just down the row from me. Bruce is our chapter president. The plane is cool as hell, and It’s changed my thinking about using house paint on fabric.

    Looking for info on less lethal/non lethal self defense products

    I don't know anyone in either group, but I did know one guy who was killed, along with his wife, by an ex-convict with a stolen shotgun -- apparently "just because". I'm sure it would never have occurred to him to carry anything for self-defense, and I doubt he'd ever been in a fight of any...
