    That's why he leaves his shades open.
    Don't encourage him.

    I see the problem.

    The black wires aren’t as long as the red and white.

    Morons.

    Before you go flying... https://www.weather.gov/marine/nwatlanticbrief
    The FAA in Anchorage named their building for the pilot who flew Grumman Gooses (that is the correct plural) (prop and turbine) with the US Fish & Wildlife Service in Alaska (territory and state), an elder of the Alaska Aviation Safety Foundation, and a host of the intermission segment of the half-hour TV program, "Alaska Weather" produced by the NWS Anchorage Forecast Office. He was one of many who'd ask, "What information should you have before you fly?" The above link falls into that answer, "As much as possible."
    Temps here are still in the 80s with forest fire smoke/haze. Not as bad as 2014, when I thought I heard thunder, and stuck my head in the opening at the bottom of the cracked hangar door, and didn't see any rain until the rare drops splatted and quickly vaporized from the apron.
    The 500 millibar chart includes the measurements and weather patterns at FL180, above the effects of topography (v. the orographic weather at the earth's surface).

    Morning
    Last time fishing this year I think.
    3 times. Wasted summer. Usually 15 or 20.
    Anybody thinking of retirement, I’d reconsider.
    The more you want to be left alone, the busier you get.
    Might as well get paid…

    I’m sure someone or something will fuck me over.
    My bar is always low. That way 95% of the time I’m not disappointed… it’s expected. And, I just poop along..

    Yes , I have lowered my expectations on just about everything, I still get pissed , but not worth it anymore. I figure I’m going to get screwed going in. But I refuse being a fucking door mat for the world

    Wife and I are going camping, fishing, color touring next week. Up on Lake Superior, pretty remote, we’ve been there before. Was curious about cell coverage, which is none. Last time we were there, there weren’t cell phones, we survived. Was checking out U Tube videos for info, all of them said bring a paper county map, and don’t rely on GPS on your phone, love it.:bananadance:
