  1. Daughter offered to get me in...Since she and son and law are not going, didn't feel right to go on my own...In the past I have gotten in threw H&K...Son and law not with company any more, did not feel like taking advantage...But he says he might go next year....

  2. Air Force 65 to 72...I worked on B-52s...Took care of the main radar, low flying, navigation and bombing computers...The bases I was at, if they had alert planes they were alway on alert...Crews and planes might change but always ready...Anytime I had to work on them there was always two of us in eye sight of each other...Never alone....

     

    Got out of it and went into secure communication...More world wide service....

    Mito takeoffs were fun to watch....One bomber off the ground every 15 seconds.....

  3. I was watching Magnificent Seven over the Christmas break and began to wonder: who do the filmmakers bring in to teach the fast draw, gun slinging, and gun play stuff? Now that has to be a cool job.

    In his younger days Wes Flowers....That's what heard and what he said...Sadly he is gone...I wonder who he might be teaching now...

    Don't think that was actually ground beef, ground something :blink:

    Didn't see many stray cats or dogs on base....No stray horses either....It was good stuff...Add a couple eggs on top and sure would clean me out....Top to bottom....Good while it stayed around....

  6. First of all I think I should say that I have no problems with helping the handicapped. But I must laugh when I see:

     

    Braille instructions at the drive-up ATM. Well maybe the blind person could be in the back seat.

     

    In the men's room at a restaurant. "Employees must wash hands before returning to work". Is the blind person going to run his hands over every surface in the men's room just to learn if there is a message that says he must wash his hands.

    I noticed that back a number of years ago....I started watching who was driving into those ATMs....Makes you wonder....

  7. You're saying (I think) that the water in the boiler in the basement is always pumping through the pipes, which is why when you turn on the faucet on the 80th floor it don't take ten minutes for the water to get hot?

     

    But still, how big a heating system they need to service a largish (hundred rooms or more) hotel?

    I guess you need to know....The shower at the top floor drains into the shower below....The hot water just flows down hill threw each room and shower....They never need to warm it up....Saves on gas to warm it up...
