I suspect there's a tribe in Vietnam who have one leg longer than the other.

It's not too often that you can stand on terra firma, and look down at a plane in flight.

At Land Between The Lakes Nat'l Recreation Area, years ago now that I think about it, fighters used to do racetrack loops over the area because of sparse population. I assume they were flying from Ft. Campbell, although it's primarily a chopper joint. One end of their loop would often come over Kentucky Lake, or over Lake Barkley, at what looked like a couple hundred feet, I'm sure it was prolly higher.

As a kid, it was fukken awesome. As an adult, it was still fukken awesome.

I know what you mean. I was working at a power plant in Boardman, Oregon, that had it's own exit off I-84 and a 9 mile private driveway through a Navy bombing range.

They would fly up the Columbia River from the coast, very low between the hills on either side of the river, then make runs at the range very low and very fast. In the old days they'd drop dummy bombs, but by this time it was laser shots at electronic targets.

It was fun to watch, although it probably would have been better with explosions and shit. I often wondered what it would look like if the clipped one of the 550,000 volt outgoing lines.

But driving in the driveway they came up from behind, you couldn't hear them until they were a couple hundred feet directly above you... that's a butt clencher.

Back in early 90s I was on 395, going south, close to Edwards AFB when one of their jocks did a gun run on me. As Bruce said, "that's a butt clencher."

It would be so awesome to see all those planes pass by.

xoxoxoBruce · 01-19-2015, 11:19 PM

Who ever thought that could happen here, should be institutionalized for their own protection. They're clearly a danger to themselves.

should be in the what would make me happy today thread.

nice find, xoB.

She ain't skinny, she's tall.. that's all.

Lamplighter · 01-25-2015, 11:56 AM

... and looking for the tallest bull

xoxoxoBruce · 01-25-2015, 12:55 PM

She's 6'4" at the withers, so it would take more than a little bull to score with her.

One of several 1929 Buick Dually Buses crisscrossing the country. Easier than trying to impress people over the radio, although I don't think most people would have a use for that tire... other than roof it for a chicken coup.

I wondered why the gorilla's fist was getting bigger...

I looked up this very fact a few years ago when I watched a snow melting operation in action and the answer depends very much on the ambient temperature. If it's near freezing, the energy cost to melt is very small, and as it gets colder, trucking is the better deal. I forget the break even point.
