The bottom right one looks like he's throwing a bottle in the crapper.. Maybe?

I've held one of those crossbows, it weighed a TON! 

I really couldn't care less that this dude cashed out, I didn't know him.  He was a big boy and knew what he was doing when he poked that needle into his arm.  I was entertained by some of the characters he played.  But now the news is going to capitalize on his death by dragging up any dirt they can get from his death.  The news is like buzzards flying over a dead carcass waiting for an eyeball to roll out of a skull to eat it.  The news needs to report it like this; He's dead, he died of a drug overdose, end of story.

Not to thread crap, anymore than I have, sorry xjsnake.    I don't want it to seem I have forgot about the tragic loss of this family.     But, I hate hearing about you guys that want to fly and can't for one reason or another. 

I'd love to get in..   Thanks Slappy..

  I could set up up in a beautiful one of a kind 1948 Luscombe 8F.  110 mph on 3.5-4 gph.  Besides, the wheels are in all the right spots.   :-)   Medical from Dr. CR Smith on Lebanon rd is fantastic!   I've known him since 88 and won't trust anyone else.

    That is one of my favorite things about Dickson.  Was Larry or Jeff there? Or Flash the dog?   Larry is funny.... 

Doug, I hate listening to reporters report about things they clearly don't understand but they still report it as if they do. When they said he "missed" the airport at Tune, they should say the aircraft was attempting an instrument approach procedure ( pilot can't see the ground because of cloud height or visibility ). The pilot flying the aircraft for one reason or another didn't see the runway the first time he attempted the approach and chose to try the approach procedure again. He was, more than likely ( [b][u]supposed to be if he was in the clouds[/u][/b] ), in Nashville's FAA radar environment and getting radar vectors back to the final approach course to land on runway 2 at John Tune. John Tune airport is what is called an uncontrolled airport. Meaning there is no FAA control tower on the field so it would be the pilots responsibility to turn on the runway lights himself by using a series of radio clicks on a very specific radio frequency. As far as having someone there for him, that's the pilots call. He would only need a ride to where ever he was staying. Sometimes rental car companies leave a car for you at a place like Tune or the airport [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-base_operator"]FBO[/url] will let you barrow their "courtesy car" if they have one. I've done both 20 or 30 times. I took a date one time for a ride in the helicopter I was flying to another city where I knew a good restaurant was and I knew the [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed-base_operator"]FBO[/url] ( place where I parked my flying machine and bought gas from ) would treat us like Rock Stars. Let me tell you, it was a good date night but I digress. A few things I hear reporters say that drive me F^%@#$%@! crazy are like "gunned the engine", "aborted the landing" just to name a few. It really doesn't take much effort now days for reporters to [b]not[/b] sound as stupid as they really are. Flying can be a very unforgiving and instrument flying ( where you use only your instruments to fly ) is also a skill that is very perishable if not exercised often. I'm afraid that the aircraft last night [i]could[/i] have taken on ice. When the wings and the props ice up and when the anti-ice and de-ice capabilities of the airplane are exceeded, the aircraft turns into a very expensive very fast anvil. I've been ice before in an airplane that had great de-ice and anti-ice capabilities and it still was coming down whether I wanted it to or not. Luckily we were at 15,000 feet and got out of the icing conditions when we descended to a different altitude. I feel real bad for the families loss.

I'd like to go to the movies more than I do because I do love the screen size and the sound systems they use really make the movie an 'experience'.    But I don't very often go for several reasons.  My reasons, in no particular order are; cost, too many people in one spot and usually one talking or kicking my seat and lastly; I don't live very close to a theater.  My wife likes the "pause and pee" feature we have with DVD movies. :pleased:   The last time I went to the movies I got kicked out for sneaking food in the theater.  I argued to the manager that concession costs were too high and he countered that my BBQ grill was smoking too much.   Ok, I made that last part up..    Sorry Doug, I couldn't help myself.. :rofl:

    MEEEEEE TOOOOOO!!!     I would give a testee, oh hell both they aren't doing anything, to have an F4U.  A Mustang is sexy, a Corsair is all muscle with the sex!    Besides Pappy Boyington flew one.  I had every Baa Baa Black Sheep TV show memorized!  :usa:    "I get you Boyington!!"

I can't wait to get it!  Thanks for the review!

I wonder if the freighters are too top heavy to safely make aggressive turns?    I watched a show on TV the other day that said cruise ships are very unstable in roll because they are too top heavy. 

    I bet it's like being an air-marshal.   But if I got to reach out and touch a few,  I'd almost pay my own way.

 Who makes the -22?   I know it's got Sig's name, I would just hope it's not like the plastic bb gun Colt AR15-22 I had. 

DMark, you are correct.. I do stand corrected..  :-)

I deal with the these people 4 to 5 days a week 46 weeks out of every year.   Let's just put it this way, it's a government agency that are like crossing guards with search, seizure and arrest authority. I see them often treating law abiding citizens like criminals.

Just to be clear, I know for myself and I'm sure 99.9% of us, I, in no way am complaining about our LEO's in particular. (now I feel better) lol

I hope this isn't a repost.  These make me laugh every time!      HERE

If someone, even popo, ends up in my backseat because I'm trying to avoid "Hello Kitty" they are going to have a tough time defending not being able to stop because they can't see what I can see in front me because they are following too close.

We never once had a gun locked when I was growing up.  The gun wasn't a toy and my ass would get busted up if I messed with it.  And besides there was zero mystery with a gun so no need to pick it up and play with it when no adults were around.

I've never understood the go under the speed limit mentality.  I bet that does get real old..    I go +5 mph almost all the time and have never once had any trouble with that in the last 30 years. 

Guns are evil !!!  That'll be the bottom line of the story!

I met an ex-cop years ago that was in a hurry to go pee and the guy in front of him stopped for a cat(I don't know why. Isn't cat the other white meat?).  After the city pulled the cop car out of the guys back seat the city wrote a large check to the man for their popo driving in a reckless manner. 

Happy Bee Lated Birthday~~

I want one!!   That's FUNNY!!
