Well, I guess tht was it then: - We were booking along over the Atlantic about 60 above the water. It felt like we were REAL close, and I guess we were! I just kept eyeballing the Loadmaster. As long as he didn't seem concerned I figured we were okay. It was so LOUD inside that thing that...

English might be one of the hardest languages to learn: - Its weird, it can be understood through tough thorough thought though

It might be the same product sometimes used for coating air-compressor tanks: - Maybe try a search for that product, see what you get

OHHHH, I got it now, just a little hiccup in the many subtleties of language: - in European usage a house trailer is called a "caravan" - In U.S. usage a bunch of vehicles travelling together (in a group) is what's referred to as a "caravan" Language is slippery stuff!

Greetings, RobM36A2, glad to hear you got the price you wanted for your sale, it's great when you can feel happy! Just curious, what exactly is the make-up of your "small caravan", are you meaning the M36A2-and-trailer?

While in the Seabees, our battalion had a deployment to NAS Rossevelt Roads in Puerto Rico, the Navy flew us down in C-130's from Andrews AFB in MD, and about half-way there our ship had an engine fire. Pilot killed the fire, feathered the prop, and took us down right on top of the deck (or at...

That works sometimes, it sure does: - Such an old concept that it's even Scriptural, a bible passage of the Pentateuch (old Testament) - Called the story of the Unjust Judge, or the story of the Persistent Widow Can't recall the chapter and verse, but it's there short-and-sweet

Well, YEAH, they love it. Count me also in that crowd! Congratulations on your prize!!

All this sounds pretty much like total condemnation of the whole operation and enterprise. Wonder if the award of their operating contract was some kind of "no compete" award. Sure sounds like it: - Has all the smell of insider trading/ cronyism Like why should they care, nobody appears to be...

It was a "kind of a crime", but understandable, sure, entirely: - The leadership was focused on the business of the company, the volume and profitability. That makes sense. Concerns about historic record and preserving the old stories? That didn't bring in any cash-flow. So no one to blame...

Knowing what needs to be done, and finding the shop that can do it IS a skill. Nice work.

How did you make the radius in the two blade-halves, some big kind of a brake or something?

Four foot of snow is plenty and that's the truth. You live in sure enough serious snow country, Davidb56!

Some bud in NJ is building year-round indoor snow "mountains" using old shopping malls for the venue: - The whole grooming problem just goes away I'm guessing... Crazy, right?!

You ALWAYS find fine stuff, Robo McDuff. Thank you, Brother! Couldn't help myself and had to go look it up, NICE:

He named his first kid Moon Unit. Guessing she is somebody who can stand her own ground...

Good Luck with the move, Discovery9! Ever hear of Frank Zappa? He cut a ragged tune once about Montana, just might be the only tune out there about the State...it's about dental floss. Zappa, he was kind of whacked. You're not maybe working on a Floss farm out there yourself, are you?

Like waiting until AFTER the first shot at assembling something to read the Instruction Manual. I've done that so many times, I can't count 'em.
