Morning all

 

Is that wrapped around the tree branch?

 

No, sorry to disappoint you.

 

My good friend and neighbor asked his Ford dealer years ago if they could put a 140 mph speedometer in his 1-ton 4wd van with wheelchair lift. No.

 

Drizzly and dreary in Connecticut this morning. F1 on the DVR...after that...?

 

Morning

 

Morning Mike

 

Mornin folks. Most everybody in the fam has slept off/eaten over their hangover from the wedding. What a hell of a wedding it was, lots of fun and great people. Flying back to Maine today, can't wait to sit in that comfort plus seat and conk out.

 

Andddd home! With one very excited dog when we opened the front door.

 

Dogs are the best.

 

He tried very hard to be let in the bed for sleep time, but sadly this queen bed just isn't big enough for the three of us.

 

I bet. I'm partial to smaller dogs for this reason. Eventually I'll get another Pug. Perfect dog for me.

 

I grew up with Maine coon cats, and the running joke amongst our friends was if the dog is smaller than our cat (20-25lbs) it's not a dog, it's a beanie baby.

 

My Pug was healthy at 20 lbs, and a little chubby at 22. Best snuggle buddy I could have ever asked for. Haven't slept for shit aside from exhaustion sleep since I lost her.

Never had a cat that wasn't a jerk. Even when they like you they are dicks. LOL

 

Morning stockers, back from a well deserved ban-vacation. Went to the Kalamazoo Air Museum yesterday, saw an engine upgrade I might be interested in. Be safe out there, it’s Monday.

 

Welcome back!

Is that the engine our of an SR-71?

 

I think so, some bad ass gear. Much respect for our test pilots.

 

You'd have to change your sticker to say "4 Wheel Flight" after that upgrade.

 

Good Morning Stockers

You'll need a suspension upgrade to go with.

Short story...
Our C130s out of Pope pulled 60 day rotations in RAF Mildehall, England (circa '85-'86). The SR-71 flew out of Mildenhall. It's flight schedule was classified and unpublished; but the tanker that had to refuel it immediately after take-off was not. The tanker had slight modifications and was identified as a KC-135Q ... whenever the Q model was on the flying schedule, we'd take our launch and recovery van and park at the end of the taxiway by our C130s adjacent the runway to watch the SR-71 take off. That was 38 years ago now, but the sight of that beautiful bird on full afterburner lifting off and going vertical as soon as it cleared the runway is etched in my memories for eternity.
