What's the deal with the wing attachment. It looks like it goes through the fuselage. I've never seen one like this. Is there a spar carry through?

A few months old but I just figured out how to do animated GIFs. The fun is just beginning.

One upside of a super wet winter is that the hills around here (usually brown) are vibrant green - looks more like Ireland than CA!
Except for all that urban sprawl.
Ewww... you didn't kiss that thing did you?
We pulled up there early in the morning, before they even opened, and there was already 7 busses there. We left.
You gotta go in February and brave the crappy weather. We almost had the whole castle to ourselves. And yes, I kissed it. Haven't you heard me drone on forever? I've got the gift of gab.
The not so green part of Ireland. We happened onto this area on accident. I thought it was awesome. This is the Burren geosite.
The obligatory Cliffs of Moher

Touchdown! Greaser!
eeeewww....
But even more disgusting is the little known fact that the Blarney Stone was once the deflector stone at the bottom of a toilet.
I don't know if that is true or not, but it is enough to keep my lips off of that stone.
The story that turned me off was the teenage employees peeing on it at night....
That and the spit and lipstick and herpes of a million other people.
Not sure which one is more disgusting.

Ok, that has totally grossed me out. I am off to my sterile isolation unit for a week...

Brings back memories - as a kid, I used to spend my summers near Galway in Ireland where my grandparents had a place. The burren and cliffs of Moher were frequent day trip destinations!

The stone was set into a tower of the Blarney castle in 1446, according to Wikipedia.
I suppose all sorts of things might have happened to some random stone more than 500 years ago. Not sure who would keep track of that, though.

I used to live in Ireland. Honestly, the weather isn't much different between February and July - it's crappy year round lol.
For a guy who burns in minutes, their weather is my type of weather. I'm also Irish. Go figure.

You’ll reconsider this statement once you live there and don’t see the sun for like two months straight.
Sounds like Illinois.
I was surprised how gray the winters were in Germany. November to April was just gray.

Yup, Germany (where I’m from) is grey as well, especially in the winter. Part of the reason I made my way across the pond to live on the other side of the Atlantic ;-)

Can't be that bad in Illinois.
Annual average sunshine hours in Chicago: 2,508
Annual average sunshine hours in Dublin: 1,452
That's a huge difference. In the worst month (December), Chicago has double the amount of sunshine compared to Dublin (106 hours vs. 53 hours).
oh...oh...now do Corpus Christie....

Not much more than Chicago surprisingly.
I'm secretly kind of a genius ;-)
Not his first time in the right seat but the first time we went on an actual cross country not just a short flight to ferry the airplane somewhere or buzz around the local area. Went well.
