I have a feeling that the situation is going to get a lot worse, before it gets better. Smith's creditors want their money, and they'll have no scruples in trying to get it... regardless of the 'historical'...

Packages who cares, Now pizza delivered to the sunroof of my car while sitting in traffic...That's the future... :lol: Marc Pizza? What about Chinese food? Drone delivery of my Beef and Broccoli...

Don't drink the HEET--causes indigestion. :) Cary Oh yes... at the least, please do not imbibe the stove fuel. Not only will it cause indigestion, but it may also seriously impair your visual acuity,...

So, I built one of these beauties. It works as shown with 91% rubbing alcohol. I also tried 70% rubbing alcohol, but it would not stay lit. So it looks like if you want to be able to drink your fuel,...

I have carried the same alcohol stove since i started backpacking as a kid (a few years ago). It has been flawless. Never once did it not work. Never once did it fail to light. Pretty stupid proof...

And it took off without incident this afternoon, headed for its original destination of McConnell AFB: watch?v=lOvB8ZleHCk Looks like it got off pretty easily! I just wonder what the two pilots said...

If you're so inclined, there's great fishing on the Wind River, too... :)

Most of the 'electronic' movies I have I bought through Amazon Instant Video, not Prime. If there's a DVD I want I go to the 2nd hand video/ music store here in town. :)

Thought I'd bump this Thread, 'cause I found an article on our Concrete Arrows that was written recently: http://www.core77.com/blog/transportation/what_are_these_giant_concrete_arrows_across_the_american_landscape_25236.asp Some...

I have friends that own property in CB, and they fly in to buckhorn - but I do not know what their arrangement is. They operate on another socioeconomic status than I am able to contemplate at this point...

How about "First Solo: Wheels Leaving the Ground"? Congratulations, BTW! =D>

If we could get an eagle to wear a set of those glasses, then we'd really have something... :) How about an eagle with a GoPro? G3QrhdfLCO8 :D

Big props to all the First Responders, Rescue Teams, the National Guard and all the Volunteers for your hard work and compassion during this truly historic event in Colorado History. The CDR of the...

If you're out and about, or planning to fly around the Boulder area... http://tfr.faa.gov/save_pages/detail_3_3390.html :|

Here's a nice video of some 195's; about halfway through, there are some good shots of what appear to be some nice, intentional 'drifts' on the taxiway... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxdiL7CuqZE...

By far, one of the best Photo pages on the Web, especially the helicopter photos.

God bless you, Major Penney. =D>
