Watch what you wish for, jeffhuey1n, it might come true! That would be some WORK wouldn't it? You really mean it?!!

It's all good, I meant it in a good way. But not as "clean" really so much as (all things considered), fairly "squared away", you know in the USN sense! Not everybody's shop looks the same, you know?!

Dang, I forgot to post about the sex change...

Can you please post the link to that in this thread (also)?! That'll help me! I'm close to a record now in my Lazy Boy here:

That's a nice "shed", clean!

Talk about redundancies (the issue came up in some other thread somewhere): - Around 4:40 in the vid the flight commander talks about all the system redundancies in the aircraft... a LOT of them. Reminds me of Slim Pickens in "Doctor Strangelove", riding his payload out the chute, on the last...

That place was a hotbed of ingenuity, for sure. Brings to mind some of the great quotes of Thomas Alva Edison (Inventor). Here's one: - "There is always a better way. Find it."

Take a look at one of these. EVERYBODY in town will know who you are!

That's not "under-appreciation", Mr. marchplumber, you gave it a shot and it plain was not your cup of tea. Some people think old Melville talks too much. I get that. Likely the key is always to "go for what you like". That way you never get disappointed!

Not much luck... But if you want Civil War photos, they're LOADED.

It is little known, but the U.S. Library of Congress holds a pretty remarkable collection of photography, and for the cost of reproduction you can get a print of anything in the collection. Wonder if they have some shots of your SR-71 you might want? http://www.loc.gov/pictures/

Yikes. That's not good. Sorry about your bad luck there, Brother. It'll mend before you know it!

I have read that book 4 times, always find something new. The plan is one more reading, after that I call it quits (back to "Goodnight, Moon"!).

I got a cure: - When things get bad, I just go for a little ride!

I "ain't" too smart, 59apache, what are we looking at here: - Is that a part in a milling machine?

So, CARMAN and me got together over lunch and afterwards I checked out his little buggy out in the lot: - A right fine compact roadster, don't you all think?

Mr. Tracer, you are ON to something right there!! Let's you and me make it a business. We can use the net profits to cover our popcorn expenses. What do you think?!!

It IS quite a book, isn't it? Aye..."The Whale", by Melville...arghhhh. And of all those many pages, the single sentence that boils ALL of it down to the essence might just be this: - "From beneath his slouched hat Ahab dropped a tear into the sea; nor did all the Pacific contain such wealth...

But then we miss all the fun of watching the near-hopeless recovery from our armchairs:

Hey, Ferroequinologist, I meant to circle back and apologize to you. I was stupid as a kid (not saying I got over that either), and the things I did might have turned wrong, and for more people than just me. Now, finally, I get it. That statistic of yours (every two years), shouldn't happen...
